Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, has stunned the world again — this time with his ancestry. A recent revelation shows he’s related to pop legend Madonna and several A-list celebrities, linking the Vatican to Hollywood in surprising ways.

Both Justin Bieber and Madonna are related to Pope Leo, who is also distant cousins with Angelina Jolie and Hillary Clinton.

He has Creole roots through family members from New Orleans. He plays pandemic sensation turned New York Times tentpole Wordle daily. Historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. pointed out last week that he's related to many of America's most enduring exports.
