Gene Simmons was shocked to discover his girlfriend Shannon Tweed was related by marriage to his former lover Diana Ross when they hooked up after a party 28 years ago.

  The Kiss star met Tweed at Playboy mansion party and the couple fell in love almost immediately, prompting Simmons to tell his then-lover that it was over.

  It was at that point he learned Ross knew his new girlfriend.

  He tells the Los Angeles Times, "I was at the time in a relationship with Diana Ross and fell for Shannon, told Diana about it and within three weeks, I was shocked to find out that Shannon Tweed is, in some ways, Diana Ross’ sister-in-law.

  "Because unbeknownst to me, Shannon’s sister, Tracy, was actually married to Chico Ross, Diana’s brother. If God and the fates have a sense of humour, that’s pretty bizarre."
