This is BREAKING NEWS: The Osment siblings…are related.
The internet had its collective mind blown when Emily Osment posted a picture of she and her brother, Haley Joel.
The reactions are jus so, so good, you guys.
So, shockingly, Emily and Haley Joel have been siblings for a while now.
One might even say they’ve been related…their entire lives.
I know .
In all seriousness, here’s the quick tea: Haley Joel is older, at 31, while Emily is the younger sibling at age 27.
They both got started as child actors.
Obviously, Haley Joel skyrocketed to fame after the release of The Sixth Sense .
He became a long-lasting meme with the line, “I see dead people.”
Before that, though, he played Forrest Gump’s son in Forrest Gump .

Emily’s big break came via Disney.
Like many child stars, Emily had a few minor roles before hitting it big at the house of mouse.
She starred alongside Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana , where she played Miley’s best friend, Lilly.
Both of them stayed in Hollywood.
Haley Joel went on to do films like AI: Artifical Intelligence , Enterouge , and the Netflix film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile .
Oh, also, he guest-starred in the new season of The X-Files . Man, I love that show.
Emily took on music.
She still acts, of course, but a big part of her career also centers on music!
Her music alias is Bluebird, and she released two singles this year: “Sailor,” and “Good Girl.”
They hang out all the time.
Their Instagrams are full of pictures of each other, which makes everyone’s surprise over them being related even funnier.
Haley Joel flew out over the Labor Day weekend to surprise Emily while she attended the US Open!
That’s when the reactions poured in.
She posted a ton of pictures from the weekend, but the one that caught everyone’s attention was clearly the one with her brother.
I’m so glad that people are finally seeing the light about the Osment siblings.
How did people miss this?
They take pictures together all the time! They go to games together, they go to concerts together, even walk red carpets together…
Forget their minds being blown, my mind is blown at how obvious it is.
I LOVE this comment.
Of all the things to remember Haley Joel for, Alisha picked AI .
Alisha, you are so valid. That movie also scared the pants off of me when I was younger.
Now I want to watch AI again. Anyone else?
Wait, I have more sibling proof.
Here they are attending an event together. Not just any event, either.
It’s the freakin’ Golden Globes. They seriously went to the Golden Globes together, and the comments under this picture were still the same! No one knew they were related!
Guys, this comment.
This. Comment.
I don’t know where to start. Mishelle, what did you mean? They look alike, but not that much alike.
Maybe some comments aren’t meant to be explained. Maybe the art speaks for itself.
They do look a lot alike.
Maybe not “slap a beard on Emily and she’d be Haley Joel’s twin” alike, but the family resemblance is undeniable.
I wonder what Emily would look like with a beard. Things to ponder.
To be clear, Emily has not hid that they’re siblings.
She posted a whole collage of pictures of the two of them together!
I kinda love that they don’t do “celebrity sibling” things — they do regular sibling stuff, including taking goofy selfies and saving them for maximum birthday embarrassment.
HOW?!
Owen…buddy…
First of all, love the Star Wars icon. Good content.
Second of all, how did you miss the dozens of pictures they’ve posted together?
It’s okay, Owen. I miss stuff, too. We’ll get through this.
Tag yourself, I’m Zac.
Anyway, the Osment siblings, are, in fact, siblings.
Side note, I bet you can’t guess what the second-most common comment was.
Yeah, it was “I see dead people” over and over. Never change, internet.
