A woman says after discovering that she has 50 siblings she knew nothing about, she is ‘scared to date’.
Izzy, 23, decided to look into her background a few years ago and took a DNA test to get a better idea of her ancestry.
In a video which was posted to her TikTok account, young woman explained that she is one of a set of triplets and that her biological father was a sperm donor.

She and her 2 brothers were raised by their biological mother and her partner, who met in 1986 and eventually decided to have a child together and so contacted a cryo-bank in Virginia.
Izzy wrote: “In 2018, I did an ancestry DNA test to see where I’m actually from. I get my results back and find out I’m not as Italian as I thought.
“[Then] I get a message from a random woman asking if I’m related to a specific person or family [because] I matched with her daughter, and I said no.”
The 23-year-old said she was then contacted by a woman on Facebook who told her that there was a group set up by people who share the same sperm donor.
“The donor’s half-sister then matched with me and dms me saying other mothers who used the same donor, and their children, are part of a private FB group and that I should join too.
“I join the page and [it] turns out there are over 50 of us who are siblings and children of the same sperm donor… and we’re all different ages.
“And now there’s paranoia about overpopulation because some of them are afraid there are so many of us and we may end up dating someone who happens to be a sibling.”, Izzy explained.
Izzy also revealed that she wasn’t aware of how many half-brothers or sisters she had out there.
However, she answered some questions from fellow users in another video.
Izzy said: “Someone asked if I have a relationship with the siblings, and I don’t.
“I feel a little uncomfortable, like, it’s a really abnormal thing.
“And I feel really awkward, like, maybe I’m shy. It’s still a little weird to me. Like, I’m not good at putting myself out there, and having all these siblings is kind of overwhelming, so I try not to think about it, like, I kind of forget sometimes that this is my life.”
However, expanding on her point in the comments, Izzy said she wouldn’t be averse to perhaps meeting them at some point.
“I wanted to add that it’s not that I never want to get to know my siblings, I may try build a relationship with the later on in life, just not now.”, she wrote.
