Lady Gaga has always been compared to Madonna for her songs and outrageous fashion sense and now a new study has emerged which says the pop divas are distant cousins!
According to celebrity genealogist Chris Child, a New England Historic Genealogical Society specialist, "They are ninth cousins once removed."
After much research, Child reportedly provided proof of the findings, which showed that the two had common ancestors.
Child tracked the French Canadian families "back 200 years within minutes".
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, has compared herself to the Material Girl a lot of times in the past.
