Scarlet Vas (Australia) was in a seven-year relationship with Tayo Ricci’s best friend, where Tayo was her step-brother. Eventually, she and Tayo realized they loved each other and started dating. Now, they even post content together, despite the criticism and amazement of their followers.
There are taboos that are truly impossible to let go of, especially when it comes to parentage and blood ties. Even though «reassembled» families are much more common and accepted in today’s society, things get darker when these relationships take a more serious turn.
That said, here’s Scarlet Vas, an Australian Tiktoker who stunned her followers with one of the last videos she posted on her account. At first, it seemed like one of the classic popular challenges of this social platform, but it gradually escalated to reveal a rather uncomfortable truth for many.

In the video, Scarlet is challenged to kiss Tayo Ricci, her then-boyfriend’s best friend, with whom she claimed to have been in a seven-year relationship. At first, Scarlet was somewhat reluctant to do so, but then her boyfriend told her, «Just do it quick.» The ex-boyfriend’s friend, who appeared in all his glory and majesty, took off his shirt, showed off his abs, and went in for a kiss from the girl, who kissed him back with equal effusiveness.
It’s just a matter of looking at the video’s comment section to see what this is all about: «I fell in love with my boyfriend’s best friend… who happens to be my stepbrother». That’s right: Scarlet and Tayo are related because they have the same mother. Surely, that’s something we don’t see every day.

To make things even more unusual, in another video – posted on an account they have together – Scarlet interviews him and asks him how he would like to spend his last day on planet Earth. Tayo’s answer bordered on the morbid: «With you. I’d get you pregnant,» he remarked confidently.
«Mmm, you’re my stepbrother. That would be kind of messed up,» Scarlet replies, to which Tayo retorts, «Why are you laughing? I know what I want, and I always get what I want. We get teased online for being in love… but it doesn’t matter that we have the same mother». The scene closes with an affectionate kiss between the two.

As you can imagine, this situation caused a lot of controversy among the couple’s fans, who had plenty to say about their unusual relationship.
«I was smiling until you said he was your stepbrother,» commented one person, while another chimed in, saying that «this is weird by any standard». Of course, there are also people who didn’t care about the bond between the two: «They look so cute,» they also wrote.
