Makana Hagemeier, 21, and her husband Eli, 25, found out they were cousins six months after starting a relationship. Makana revealed her confession in a viral video that scorched the web.

Followers expressed concern for the fate of this couple, mainly due to the fact that first cousins are highly likely to produce children with various birth defects.
