'7 Little Johnstons': Amber and Trent reveal they got tested before marriage to make sure they are not related
Amber and Trent Johnston decided to call a genealogist home with the hopes of learning about the family history. The pair thought it would be a fun way of finding out where their roots lied while also getting some insight into the family history of their children.
Once the two invited the genealogist home, Trent revealed that he did not want to know the results if it showed that both of them were related. However, Amber was sure that the results would be in their favor because they have done the test before their marriage. The pair opened up about being cautious and going ahead with the blood test ahead of their marriage to make sure they were not related in any way.
Trent recalled that the genealogist at that time had questioned them if they were sure they were not related. He further added that he felt bad hearing that as he wanted people to know that everyone who is short is not related. Meanwhile, Amber hinted that things would have been different if the test would have shown that they are related.
Trent wondered how it would make any difference as they were in love. Amber admitted that she would not think about love if the test showed they are cousins. However, Trent thought of making fun of the issue and stated that they could use cute hashtags to describe themselves such as, 'Girlcuz and 'boycuz' among others.
Meanwhile, Amber thought that it would be a perfect example for suggesting the idea, "keeping it in the family". Despite knowing what the results would tell, the pair was excited about looking deeper into their family history. Once the results were out, Amber and Trent found out that their family history did not stem from the place they had thought.
They were surprised to find out how they were related to some of the most famous places in the US. Meanwhile, the Johnston children also found a lot about their ethnicity. While others seemed pleased, Alex and Emma Johnston were a bit disappointed. Alex was upset about not being Italian while Emma was upset about not being an African.
Despite these disappointments, everyone seemed pleased to find out about their family history.
'7 Little Johnstons' airs on Tuesdays at 10 pm ET on TLC.
