Sydney Sweeney turned heads on the red carpet late last year when she dazzled in a gown not unlike Marilyn Monroe‘s iconic look from once upon time.
Then it happened again, when the Euphoria star, 29, recreated Monroe’s Life Magazine cover image at this year’s Santa Barbara Film Festival.
Now, the two stars’ connection runs deeper. On Wednesday, October 7, it was revealed that they are, in fact, related.
The global family-history platform MyHeritage says it has confirmed and verified the connection, tracing the relationship through the women’s paternal lines: Sydney through her father, Steven Sweeney; and Marilyn through her biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford.
Their family lines connect through a shared ancestor, Ezra Perry (1625–1689), an early settler in Sandwich, Massachusetts. Check out their family tree below.
The finding comes after years of comparisons between the two women, leading up to Sweeney’s recent Monroe looks at premieres and red carpets. As fans well know, Sydney has repeatedly been described as a modern-day Marilyn, from her Old Hollywood styling and “blonde bombshell” image to the intense attention around her public image and relationships.
There is another parallel too. Marilyn converted to Judaism in 1956 before marrying Arthur Miller, while reports this week — including Page Six — suggest Sydney is considering converting to Judaism amid her relationship with Scooter Braun.
“People have always drawn parallels between Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe, but seeing their paths align on a deeper level inspired us to look for a real bond in the MyHeritage archives,” Roi Mandel, director of research at MyHeritage, said in a statement, per Wednesday’s news release. “Uncovering their shared branch was incredible, it’s a powerful reminder that humanity is one vast family tree, and when we dig deep, we uncover how remarkably interconnected we all are.”
MyHeritage reports it has previously uncovered major celebrity family connections, including that Friends co-stars Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox were distant cousins in real life.
