Initially, Kiyomi and Micah Vining’s presence on TikTok seemed like the quintessential influencer couple, complete with a child and a seemingly open discussion about their relationship. However, recent speculation has taken a surprising turn, as some fans now suspect there might be a familial connection between them, rather than just a deeper romantic bond.
The gossip has stirred up quite a buzz on TikTok, with people debating the legitimacy of the rumors and questioning whether this is a case of unintentional oversight or if the couple was fully aware of their familial ties from the beginning.
Kiyomi and Micah face speculation about their familial ties, with some evidence pointing to them being second cousins
Are Kiyomi and Micah Really Related?
A Reddit user uncovered details suggesting that Kiyomi, who once experienced homelessness, now lives with Micah in a van. Initially perceived as a heartwarming story, it took a twist when the user claimed that the two might be related by blood. “Not by marriage but by blood. He’s 25 and she’s 21. Meaning four years ago, when they started dating, she was 17 and he was 21,” the Redditor stated.
As discussions intensified, some of Kiyomi’s purported relatives stepped forward. A TikTok user named velise327, who identified as Kiyomi’s cousin, shared photos and claimed, “Me watching people defend my cousin who is, in fact, dating her cousin. No hate to her, she was groomed, guys, but it is true.” She later removed her posts, likely to avoid family disputes, but continued to express her concerns in follow-up videos.
Additional evidence surfaced with old Instagram photos where Kiyomi had referred to Micah as her cousin. The situation was further complicated by their shared last name. Reddit users who traced their family connections suggested that they might be second cousins.
Kiyomi seemed to acknowledge these claims in a comment captured by Evie Magazine, stating, “Yeah, we’re second cousins and we’ve been together for like four years now, but I might hop on Twitch and talk about it a little more if [people] ask.”
This revelation has polarized fans, with some advocating for privacy and others expressing concern over the implications for their child, given that incestuous relationships can pose health risks. One Redditor even described the situation as “a form of incestual reproductive abuse.”
