And Avril quickly responded: "I'll host Christmas dinner this year," along with a Santa Claus emoji.
Ryan has yet to publicly comment on his newfound relatives but a message from the official Ancestry account stated: "Totally legit! What a glorious Canadian combo. This totally made our day."
According to Justin's findings, he, Ryan, and Avril share the same 11th great grandparents, while it appears Ryan and Avril also share another relative in the family tree.
