"Austin and I always say that we're like fraternal twins born very far apart because he's much younger," said Ashley, "and we've always had that connection."

"We've always said we were brother and sister. That is insane!" she added.

If you’re curious about Austin’s reaction, he was just as shocked as Ashley as she revealed: He just texted me," after telling Austin about their shared ancestry.
