The Emmy winner surprised fans on social media by confirming the news after someone asked if she was the Espresso hitmaker's aunt.
“Yeah! Absolutely!” she responded in the video. “Isn’t that amazing? Maybe you’ve known me for a little while, doing this little 10-year-old boy for 35 some years - and some of you guys for way less than that – and find out that I’m related to this superstar. She’s pretty amazing.”
