Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe share surprising family connection after years of comparisons

Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe are related, according to a new genealogy report.

The global family history platform MyHeritage determined that Sweeney and Monroe are ninth cousins once removed, with their family trees connected through a shared ancestor, Ezra Perry, an early settler in Sandwich, Massachusetts, who lived from approximately 1625 to 1689.

The relationship runs through Sweeney’s father, Steven Sweeney, and Monroe’s biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford, according to MyHeritage’s research.

In February, the "Euphoria" star wore an ivory Ceil Chapman gown at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival that closely resembled the dress Monroe wore on the cover of Life magazine in 1952.
