Married At First Sight couple Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton didn’t have to stray far from their family tree to find love.
Reports surfaced at the start of the series that Tahnee and Ollie’s TV wedding took a bizarre turn when they learned they were distant relatives.
The revelation never made it to air, but Tahnee has now confirmed the rumours are true and she doesn’t regret marrying her own family member.
‘At the wedding, obviously the two families were separated. Ollie’s mum looked over and she saw my sister’s fiancé Jasper and she said, ‘I know you! Your dad is my cousin!’,’ the 27-year-old told Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘And then she started freaking out being like, ‘What if the bride is Jasper’s sister?’ Because then we’d literally be blood-related.’

Luckily, the couple are only related by marriage. Ollie, 26, is the second cousin of Tahnee’s brother-in-law Jasper, who is not related to Tahnee by blood.
However, if Tahnee’s sister decides to have children with Jasper, their child will be blood related to both Tahnee and Ollie.
While some people may have been turned off by the idea of marrying a distant relative, Tahnee regards their unlikely connection as a ‘good omen.’

‘I saw it as a really great sign because I love Jasper. He’s amazing and I have a great relationship with him, so I was like, if Ollie’s family is anything like Jasper’s family we’re sweet,’ she enthused.
The couple hit it off right away after exchanging vows, before flying off to Fiji and consummating their marriage on the first night of their honeymoon.
Tahnee and Ollie are the youngest ever couple to appear on Married At First Sight.
The couple has gone from strength to strength in the months since filming wrapped, with the pair recently moving in together.
