The couple tend to keep the details of their familial relations private out of respect for their families, but it is believed that their parents wed before they did.

The couple have clarified that there is no blood relation, with Vas telling the UNCENSORED with Mario Adrion podcast, “We’re not blood, though. So it’s fine, like, that would be weird. That’d be weird. It’s just like happens to be.”
