Ahead of opening up about his struggles with depression and use of “heavy drugs” in a lengthy and heartfelt post, Bieber, 25, unearthed what are purportedly unexpected distant family members to the public.

Over the weekend, the Sorry singer posted a screenshot of a family tree from Ancestry.com, which showed that he may be related to fellow Canadians, Ryan Gosling and Avril Lavigne.

In the caption, Bieber wrote: “I just found out that I’m related to both Ryan Gosling and Avril Lavigne. This is the best day of my life… it seems super legit, it’s on Ancestry.com.”

As a response to the revelation, Lavigne, 34, commented, “I’ll host Christmas dinner this year.”
