"The text was, we need to talk to you. We are not a family that has serious regular talks and family meetings kind of stuff. So already my spidey sense was like, something is up.

"I texted my husband and I said I need to go meet up with my parents and when I got there, my dad was sitting and my mum was smiling at me and I went and sat down with them and they told me that my dad is not my biological father. That I was born from a sp*rm donor. And I was shocked," she said.

The revelations got so many people surprised, with some commending her for being bold enough to share her personal truths.

Although GMA shared a snippet of the interview, the whole episode is expected to air on Hulu, a streaming platform.
