Oprah’s family confirmed the truth through a DNA testing and reunited with her on Thanksgiving Day.

Oprah told on her show that Patricia knew this secret from 2007. She never thought of going to the media. "I didn't believe it or not, but you are my sister...I wanted to meet you to see someone with that kind of character."

3. Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato discovered she had a half sister named Amber when she was 20. Demi's dad Patrick had welcomed his oldest child a decade prior to Demi being born. Amber said she waited to contact Demi so long because she did not want to appear as if she was trying to get her fame.

Demi reportedly said during a radio appearance. "'Why haven’t you ever contacted my?' She replied, "Well, I didn't want you to think that I wanted anything from me. So, I've been waiting to see if he wanted a relationship. "I thought that was incredible."

4. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan found out she has a half-sister when she appeared on "Good Morning America." Lindsay Lohan's father Michael appeared the day before on "Trisha Goddard" where DNA tests confirmedthat he fathered an unnatural love child when he was married to Lindsay's mother Dina. Lindsay had not yet heard about the news when she appeared on "GMA" and seemed to be surprised.

I didn't hear it, so thank you for the information. I don't even pay attention. I don't want to go into it. "I want to remain on the positive side," Lindsay told on the show.

5. Cheryl Burke

Cheryl Burke connected with her half-sister Ina after the death of her father. Cheryl Burke says that even though her father told her that she had a half-sister a few year prior, she was still hesitant to reach out to Ina. Cheryl said that when they met, it felt like "we had known eachother forever."

"I was nervous about meeting face-toface, because you never know what will happen. Then we met in person and it was like looking into a mirror. You wonder if someone still looks like they do on social media. It was as if I were looking into a mirror when I first saw her. Cheryl told people, "We definitely look like our dad."

6. Keegan-Michael Key

Keegan Michael Key was adopted when he was a child. When he discovered his roots, as an adult he found out that he was related to two half-brothers. One of them was the comic book writer Dwayne McDuffie, who died in 2011. It sounds as though the two never met before Dwayne's death.

"My brother worked at DC Comics." He was a DC Comics employee and Marvel Comics employee. He was the head of an animation division, which brought characters of color to screen.

7. Janice Dickinson

In 2017, Janice Dickinson, her two sisters and their long-lost half-sister Gloria "Bunny Dickinson" discovered. Janice's dad had a relationship before welcoming Janice, her sisters and their mother. Bunny’s nephew “researched” their family history. Bunny reached out to her sister, and the two were able to meet in person later. Janice also brought along cameras.

The cadence in her voice made me recognize Bunny as my sister the moment she called. She told Daily Mail that Dickinson women are tall Texan ravishing beauty. Later, she added, "I didn't know." I had no idea that my father was married and had another child.

8. Bono

Bono discovered in 2000 that his cousin is actually his half-brother. Bono's dad had an affair years ago with the sister of his wife, which resulted in a child named Scott. Bono and Scott, who were raised as cousins, later discovered the truth. It made a lot more sense.

I love Scott and his mother, Barbara," Bono wrote in his memoir. Bono in his memoir wrote : "I love Scott and Barbara."

9. KT Tunstall

KT Tunstall, who was adopted, was the first celebrity in 2019 to appear on “Long Lost Family” and she made a significant discovery while on the show. KT Tunstall, who had been adopted, found out the name of her father. She also discovered that she has two half-sisters in Scotland, Siobhan, and Lesley-Ann.

It's a wonderful surprise. "I've not had sisters before. We kept staring at one another, saying, "We have the same eyes and cheeks. "It's weird," KT replied. They grew up about 35 miles away from me and I worked at the ice cream shop in St Andrews. They would regularly visit. Most likely, I have made them a double-cone. "I've found two women with whom I share deep personality traits, share a kinship, and share a world view. I think I look just like them, feel the same, and have gotten along well with both of them."
