Forget better-half — he’s her brother-half.
TikTok user Vicky Papadakis, 22, is making a spectacle of her marriage after sharing with followers that her fiancé, Matt Kiatipis, also 22, is in fact her own stepsibling — and she doesn’t care what the haters say.
In various clips posted to her account, the Greek fashion model is known to show off her relative-lover — a basketball trainer — to the surprise and disgust of viewers. In one video, Papadakis wrote, “When your step bro walks in but you forget he’s your ‘step bro.'”
The post featured the couple, who reside in Canada, looking lovingly at each other. In a separate snap, the pair do a coordinated dance as text over the picture boasts of their marriage.
“I heard you married your step-bro,” she scribed across the video, referencing the questions her fans ask her.
“Yes, yes I did,” Papadakis answered in the clip. Comments below indicated followers were scratching their heads over the unorthodox relationship, and asked if the pair was even legal.

Said one, “I know it’s not illegal but it just feels wrong.”
“Both of you need to go to therapy. WTF is wrong with women these days?” another rebuked.
However, a few hopeless romantics came to the defense of Papadakis and Kiatipis, one of whom reminded others that they’re not biological siblings. “If they grew up together it’s weird if not y’all need to chill.”
“Am I weird? I don’t see anything wrong with this,” another agreed. “They aren’t blood related.”
Recently, a Finnish woman, Matilda Eriksson, also made headlines after tying the knot with her stepbrother, Samuli. The 23-year-old woman and her 27-year-old man met at her mother’s 50th birthday party. Eriksson’s mother married Samuli’s father in 2019.
“I responded right away with passion,” Eriksson told Yahoo! News of their first meeting. “It took us two weeks to start dating after that and he basically moved in with me right away. It felt good and natural immediately.”
She noted that some of their friends were hesitant about the relationship, but her mom reassured her that the connection was right.
“Some of our friends were first a bit doubtful and kind of judging.”
“My mom told me to do whatever I felt was the most right in that moment, putting everything else aside and to follow my heart, and that led me to marry Samuli,” Eriksson explained.
“We both have been in a few long relationships before but never felt like this with anyone.”
