After giving ancestry program 23andMe a try, Chrissy Teigen thought she had a lost identical twin. The cookbook author revealed on Instagram that she began “spiraling” after finding out the DNA result.
Chrissy Teigen Narrates Crazy Ancestral Breakdown Story
In a video posted on Instagram last June 5, Teigen shared that she “paid for some of the upgrades” of 23andMe. She subsequently showed her family tree with a little circle to her initials.
“The first thing that came up after I found out that I was part neanderthal, was this: Identical twin,” she said. “That has to be a joke, right?”
She continued and stated that she texted her doctor upon seeing the result and went far as asking her father to confirm her mother’s labor story.
“I’m literally saying, ‘Dad, hey, did you see come out of mom’s vagina and were there two of me?’ she stated. “He starts laughing, saying ‘No, I was there, there are not two of you!’ I was like, ‘Are you sure you were there?’”
Yet, her father’s memory failed to convince her allegations. Afterwards, the professional model called her sister, who she noted to have gasped when she heard the question.
She Found Out Her Identical Twin was Herself
According to Teigen, at that point, she has already made excuses for her “whole life.” John Legend’s wife was evidently confused and bewildered by the result of the DNA genetic test.
“I’m like, ‘This is why I’m so co-dependent, because my twin was ripped away from me! This is why I always felt something missing and this is why I have addiction issues,'” she said.
However, her sister mentioned Finding Your Roots, a PBS show she participated in that didn’t air. This show attempted to dive deeper into a celebrity’s ancestry.
“They had us take DNA tests, and they put it under secret names so the world couldn’t tell,” she said. “My identical twin was myself. I was matching myself.”
Thankfully, the issue has been cleared: Chrissy Teigen has no lost identical twin but herself. Props to her sister for uncovering the truth.
