Country star’s daughter reveals DNA test confirms they aren’t related

Country singer Rory Feek’s daughter, Hopie Feek, revealed that a DNA test shows they aren’t related.

Hopie Feek posted details on social media, explaining how she took a DNA test after feeling she was “a bit different.”

“I got the results I never knew I needed,” Hopie Feek said in the Instagram video.

Hopie Feek, 37, said she “stalked” her biological dad online.

“Within 24 hours of finding him and messaging him on Facebook, he was here at my doorstep just to give me a hug and meet me,” she explained. “I’ve never experienced unconditional love like that before.”

She refers to her biological father as B.C.

“Over the last six months he and I have gotten really close and gotten to know each other, and it’s so strange because we’re so much alike,” Hopie Feek posted.

Hopie Feek and her older sister Heidi are daughters of Tamara Gillmor, who was married to Rory Feek from 1985 to 1992. Hopie was born in 1988.

In 2002, Rory Feek remarried. He and his wife, Joey, started the duo Joey + Rory.
