However, this is far from the truth.
"I've actually got 18," she claimed in a viral TikTok video, posted under the username @ellieblythe.
Shocking her viewers even further, she added: "Not only do I have 18, some of them are also my cousins."
Ellie said that she does not want to have to explain this on dates, as it is too complicated.
The TikToker gave no further information on how this is possible, and didn't give any evidence to back up her claims.
However, the post quickly garnered the attention of TikTok users, racking up 200,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: "18 siblings?! what's your mum? was she a cat?"
A second person said: "have two cousins who are also my stepbrother and stepsister."
A third person said: "I would happily go on a date with you just so I could hear this story."
