Who knew these two were related?
On July 16, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga revealed on Twitter that she's cousins with Karate Kid star Ralph Macchio.
How exactly did the news come about?
Apparently, Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen asked viewers to submit questions for the former Dancing With the Stars contestant — who will stop by the show on Thursday, July 19 — and a fan tweeted the fun fact to Cohen.
Gorga replied to the fan, saying:
Yes we are!! RT @LysaSimpson: Andy did you know Ralph Macchio & @melissagorga are cousins? #Fact @BravoAndy
