I mean, it's kinda obvious that there's some mixture going on just looking at him and his family. This is coming from someone living in a blended family as well. I'm there are many cases where it's less obvious as well, i.e. blonde haired blue eyed children with African ancestors. Many of us have ancestors that we'd be surprised to have. It's pretty neat tbh.

That's one cute dad.

Well yeh, to us, outsiders. Much like that person at the job interview.

[@jemmajames6719]

Why is he shocked, I’d be shopped if he wasn’t mixed race!

[@quintanaquintana2212]

Amazing how thru all this that the man who raised him as his own and been there for him and his mom. That he's not in the video. Cause I'm sure this news destroyed him. That his son was not his son. And that his wife cheated on him and kept it a secret all this time.

[@peeg09]

I hope that he made sure the man that raised him was important in his life.

[@kikidevine694]

I can see why his mom had a fling with Carlos.

[@laffietaffie]

I thought the same thing 😂

[@lornatw]

So did I but with my skin being brown (mixed) was interesting but I'm actually happy about it despite any difficulties and downs. I am adopted and was informed ❤

Cute lil guy and what a great father who raised him. And his biological father seems like a nice guy. He hit the dad jackpot twice.

Luke is a little heavier, but otherwise it's like looking in a mirror! Luke looks just like his biological father.

Your dna test can surprise you! But the most important is not the collor of your skin. It’s not your fault being white. There there…

[@notyourbiz235]

Waste of time and money

[@ExiledMajor]

indeed it is

[@Wokerati]

why? doesn’t matter who your parents are

[@296jacqi]

Big thumbs down for this comment. Sorry if you don’t have a good relationship with your parents, but most people feel a connection to the people they come from.
