Beloved country singer Dolly Parton is one of a kind.
But it turns out that the iconic entertainer is blood relatives with another global superstar.
In an interview with Access Hollywood that aired earlier this week, news was shared from Ancestry.com that revealed Parton is related to her very own god-daughter and pop star Miley Cyrus.
Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus are “7th cousins, once removed,” a statement from Ancestry said.
Their common ancestor is John Brickey, born in 1740 in Virginia.
The narrated ancestry results continued, and more information was shared about the unexpected genealogy results.
Brickley moved to Blount County roughly 20 miles from Dollywood with his family and died there in 1806, according to the video. His ancestors came from France, according to Entertainment Weekly.
While the news of Parton and Cyrus being blood relatives is new, Parton and Cyrus’ already have a tight-knit relationship.
Cyrus’ father, Billy Ray, named Parton as Myley’s godmother at birth and the two have shared a very close bond since Cyrus was born, but neither of the famous singers had any idea they were actually related to one another by blood.
“Is that true? That’s amazing!” Parton exclaimed.
The country music icon was excited by the news, but admitted that the connection between her and Cyrus has always been quite undeniable.
“Well, we’re so close, Miley and I. I would’ve thought we would’ve been at least third cousins, ten times removed,” she quipped.
The country music star had originally appeared for an interview to promote her new cookbook, “Good Lookin’ Cookin,” that she co-authored with her sister Rachel.
