"On Thursday (October 11), genealogists at Ancestry.com dropped a bloodline bombshell when they revealed that Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling and Avril Lavigne may all be related, as they share common ancestors in Quebec. According to the site, Bieber and Gosling are 11th cousins once removed, while JB and Lavigne are 12th cousins, and each stars' family trees can be traced back to a married couple, Mathurin Roy and Marguerite Bire, who were born in France and lived in Quebec" -MTV 

It sure doesn't surprise me that Justin Bieber and Ryan Gosling are related, however, Avril Lavigne kind of threw me for a curve ball! But one thing is for sure, that family sure is blessed!!!
