Once you read that they all have the same last name this will make total sense. But if you've been watching (and loving) Schitt's Creek, the father Johnny, son David and waitress Twyla are all family in real life.

Yes, Twyla and David are siblings.

Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts

This is a little bit of a complicated one, but perhaps unsurprisingly, Melissa McCarthy is first cousins with Jenny McCarthy. Jenny is married to Donnie Wahlberg, whose younger brother is Mark Wahlberg.

This means that Mark Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy are in-laws, which naturally brings Melissa McCarthy into the family tree too.
