So that's where I get it from! The incredible moment man, 27, meets his long lost brother

This is the heartwarming moment a man met his brother who he never knew existed for 27 years - after an ancestry search for his biological dad revealed he had a sibling.

Rhys Williams, 27, was nine-years-old when his mother died and he discovered the man raising him was not his biological father.

After being told by his cousins, Rhys continued to be raised by his stepfather, and tried to find out more about his long-lost family at age 18 but had no luck.

He used a DNA test for fun in January 2022 and uploaded his results to MyHeritage.com but heartbreakingly discovered that his birth father had passed away six years prior.

However the results turned up something amazing - unbeknown to him, Mr Williams had a sibling, Chris Jones, 53.

After connecting and speaking on Zoom, Chris drove two-and-a-half hours to surprise his brother Rhys this month.

Rhys thought that his brother had arranged for a videographer to arrive at his home to interview him about his story.

But to Rhys’ surprise, Chris turned up in his living room.

Chris said: “I drove up there and had to send the cameraman a secret message to tell him I was there.

“I sent him a text saying ‘I am delivering your camera batteries’ and then he came to the door and I went in the house to surprise Rhys.

“It was a lovely moment.”

Rhys, a university lecturer, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, said: 'It was a very different experience for me.

'I had no idea Chris was going to surprise me but now I look back there were so many clues.'

He continued: 'I went from finding out 'here is your biological dad' to find out he has passed away and realising that nobody else will look like me.

'For me it was crazy to then meet Chris who is my blood and is older. I know I will have a very good hairline in 20 or so years.

Brothers Chris and Rhys say they are looking forward to meeting up again next month

'It feels like another piece of the puzzle is filled in. The puzzle started as a big question mark but it is getting filled in now.

'It feels like this is the time it was meant to be and now it has happened.'

Chris, a global logistics buyer, from Longcot, Oxfordshire, said: 'I had always known I was adopted.

'I grew up as an only child. I had very nice adopted parents and a good upbringing.

'But it would have been nice to do all this around 20 years ago.

'It is lovely how it has all happened now. I have never had a younger brother. It is a different experience.

'We get on really well. We went out for dinner after we met and had a lovely meal.'

The brothers plan to build on their relationship and meet up again next month.
