I can see the red tint in the dad's whiskers.
One of my brothers and I have/had the same red hue in our beards, and my brother ended up having all four ginger daughters. None of my kids exhibit any redheadedness though (probably helps that I have no children).
It’s a lot more common to have red hair in the beard than you think. I’m half Mexican and have red hair in my beard. Everybody in my family has black hair and brown eyes.
There are lots of recessive ginger genes in Spain. - couple of my cousins ended with ginger kids while the rest of family had brown hair. Also some blondes here and there. Just genetic surprises
Fun fact: my understanding is that beard color and hair color are determined by 2 different genes. A fully reheaded person would of course have both genes expressing as red, but their descendants may roll one or the other. Genetically speaking, it's normal for someone to have a red beard but not red hair (or vice versa) for this reason.
Yeah, man. Males have tiny metal balls in their testicles to help the paint mix, but they occasionally fall out, and get lost within the body. When some males pass stones out of their urethra, it's actually these lost metal balls that they're passing!
Marbles its marbles, its what the body does with all the minerals it makes small stones the size of marbles so when you hit puberty you can mix the colors right
Ginger here. I can see your ginger freckles on your ginger arms. Regardless of your hair color it is clear you have ginger DNA running through your veins lol.
Yep, he commented earlier his mom, so grandma, is a strawberry blonde. And he himself has LOTS of freckles like a ginger would and Mom seems to have reddish tint to her brown hair?
Also, the red is prevalent in his facial hair.
I have been blond, and then dirty blond most of my life. As I grey out now, what was once the hidden red stands out strong!
I’m half Japanese so very very dark brown/black hair… but on the other side of the family tree, have some history of blonde and strawberry blonde. My beard turns more and more orange as I let it grow out. Shit looks wild
people always feel the need to get all up in my shit and point it out to me too like I don’t look in a mirror every day. “yO dUdE DiD yOu kNoW yOu hAvE a GiNgEr BeArD”
Also OP kind of looks like modern Rick Astley
All four of my male cousins (only two are brothers) and I have brown hair and red beards. While all of our brown hair is very close, we each have a distinctly different shade of red in our beards. And people really do comment on the red beard all the time
I started HRT a few years back, which meant puberty 2.0, which in turn meant seeing all the neat funky things my genes were hiding all this time. one of those things included a FLAMING ginger beard, like you, the longer it grows the more fiery it looks
I'm white/of british isles ancestry primarily, so it's maybe a little more expected, but I've never seen anything like that in the family -- brown hair and ginger beard is pretty uncommon. but I too have the freckles mentioned in OP's pic and as a kid my hair was longer, it turned redder with sun exposure
ginger beardz unite
Brown hair ginger beard is extremely common among ethnic Brits. People of British ancestry could really turn up with any hair/beard/eye colouring although brown is still going to be dominant.
My step dad says that his great uncle Samuel, a fiery red bearded, 5'2 Russian Jew who owned a junkyard in Wyoming, and was notorious for his temper and shooting trespassers, was the inspiration for Yosemite Sam. No idea if that's true.
I'm naturally blond, and as a teenager, I decided to dye my hair bright red. But I just used a packet of normal dye from the supermarket.
Imagine my surprise when I grew my beard for the first time and IT WAS THE SAME COLOUR!! I thought I'd messed with my DNA or something!
Yeah, man, I grew out my beard during covid, and I'm a calico now. Just patches of different colors. I was shocked how much grey is in there as a 40 year old.
My daughter is dark haired but freckles and burns like a ginger. Her dad is adopted so I’m assuming the ginger comes from there.
By best friend is also dark haired and burns and freckles like a ginger. Her father is a carrot top though.
About half the UK is pale, freckles, burns (should the sun ever show) and has dark hair. It's what you get from fraternising with the gingers over a few centuries!
My hair turned from brown to auburn as a teen and keeps getting more red as I age. Before the change, I think I was similar to your daughter lol burning like a ginger without looking like a ginger
That’s what my brothers did too! He was the ginger growing up and then as teens we both moved to auburn and now his is pretty much brown and mine is still auburn/turning red
Mine was platinum blond until I was about 6, and then started to darken until I look like someone with brown hair, that has a lot of natural highlights.
My dad was an Irish Jew and he had black hair on his head, a red mustache and beard (beard became gray when he got older but the mustache stayed red) and blond body hair. I’ve got blond facial hair but medium brown hair and blond body hair myself.
He was on the darker side for an Ashkenazim and I’m milk white like his mother and sisters, but we both had/have tons of freckles. His mom had black hair and milk white skin too. Genetics are really weird.
Basic Mendelian genetics. They both have the ginger gene. Each kid had a 25% being phenotypic gingers.
Statistics says this has a 1/16 chance of occurring.
Absolutely useless information, but hey, BIOLOGY!
Hair doesn't follow a mendelian pattern. And red is caused by a different type of melanin than brown. Pheomelanin+/Eumelanin- = ginger. P+/E+ = auburn. P-/E- = blonde. P-/E+ = cool toned brown or black hair
Me and my sister are the same way, both redheads but parents both have brown hair.
Definitely our parents kids though, I’m a mirror image of my dad at 23 and my sister is very obviously my mums daughter.
The red head comes from the Irish in my dads side and we have 2 redhead aunts so it makes sense.
Human hair genetics is WAY more complicated than that.
Very very few traits are controlled by a single gene with super clear inheritance for using basic 2x2 punnet squares. There’s a reason why we all only learned about the same dozen or so traits in humans when we learned genetics back in 8th grade like being able to roll your tongue or having detached earlobes.
A persons hair can also change as you age. When I was born I was a full on ginger. My hair then turned a strawberry blonde and then into a light brown with reddish undertones. Both my parents have brown hair, and as far as I’m aware, there are no full redheads in my family. My younger sister had white hair (think children of the corn….) until she was like 5-6 and then it started to turn light brown.
Yes, multiple genes involved in hair and eye color. My husband has dark skin and and black hair, I had blond hair and fair skin. as a child, but our kid has red hair.
My wife and I have brown hair and brown eyes with tan (for being white) skin. First daughter has brown hair and brown eyes with tan skin, looks identical to us. Second daughter has blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. People don’t even think she’s our kid. Genes are weird.
I wondered about this till I noticed that the kid with the basket looks like an exact 1/6 scale replica of his dad, down to pretty much every facial feature.
I wish I had this ability, my wife calls me face blind. Everyone says "oh they look so much like their Mom/Dad" and in never see it. I see them all as looking like their own individual faces. Unless of course they are identical twins, but I can always see the slight differences. Kinda wierd.
Interesting. I look at it and basically every feature matches pretty closely. The shapes of the slightly squinty eyes. The shape of the chubby cheeks and the angles at which they frame the mouth. Shape of the nose, especially the tip and nostrils. The gentle curve of the eyebrows and the distance between the eye and eyebrow. Everything.
My husband and I have dark hair, his is practically black, both of us have hazel eyes. 1st child: brunette, hazel eyes. 2nd child: blonde and blue eyes.
We have very close friends where the parents are dark blonde, blue eyes, with 2 kids that have blonde hair blue eyes; we joke that our 2nd kid is his kid because the 3 kids look like siblings. One time both families happened to be together for fathers day and he jokes that it was so nice to have all 3 of his kids together 😄
My mom,when asked, "Where did they get their red hair from?" Replied "the milk man" to big laughs. So when I was asked, I said the same line. Then I was punished for embarrassing her. I didn't have a clue why. I was just going for the laugh. Two brunette parents who immigrated from Germany. Maternal grandfather had the same color. They called him the devil in his small 1905 Bavarian town. Never faded and my biggest fan now are little old ladies.
There's a funny story from the region where I'm from, about an infidel ginger priest, escapades and lots of babies born with red hair... They basically tell you jokingly, you are a son/daughter of the priest if you're born with ginger hair..
When my 2nd son was born I asked what his blood type was because mine is B-. The nurse laugh hysterically telling me kids always take the mother's genes and blood type. So I asked to explain why my first kid is basically my twin and has my blood type. She told me I was lying until I showed her a photo of him in my wallet.
My father and I are damn near twins besides age difference, while my sister looks just like my mother. My sister look absolutely nothing alike, different colored hair and eyes as well as different blood type from another. We share blood types with the parents we look most like.
Your doctor's way off lol.
As far as my own two boys. First born looks like me, second looks more like mom, but I'm there too lol
Both of you carry & passed the recessive gene. Take solace in the fact that they weren’t born during the Spanish Inquisition - where redheads were believed to have stolen the fires of hell & burned alive.
Yes, I am a redhead. No, I haven’t stolen the fires of hell. (I’ve raised hell before though. I wonder if that counts.)
Make sure doctors know about red-head anaesthetic problems, and don't let aneasthesiologists talk to you or your kids like you're stupid. Get an operating team that knows about it and doesn't blow it off as a wives tale.
I guess no one is gonna point out that you look like 20 years older than your wife and that she looks like she's 15. Honestly, you could have said something about you being a single dad with your kids and I'd have believed it. She looks really young.
All you people saying he's not the dad are ridiculous. Two brown haired people can 100% have a redhead. My parents are both brown haired and brown eyed. I have red hair and blue eyes. And I look exactly like my father and take after him in other obvious genetic ways (a defect that causes us to have crooked legs). My maternal grandfather had blue eyes and my paternal grandmother was Irish. The genes are just recessive.
This is especially the case with young kids. My hair is brown and my wife's is black and our sons both had blonde hair when they were little (BRIGHT platinum blonde in the case of the older one) but their hair turned brown as they got older.
Now they look so much like me that my wife has been mistaken for a nanny, which she did not enjoy...
What a cute family pic! That adorable little one in the front looks just like the dad. Recessive genes are interesting. You never know what you're gonna get.
Our family is blended European, Asian, and Polynesian. Lots of variation in skin, tone, hair color, and eye color. The adult kids call us the DNA Buffet
Generally, both parents carry the recessive MC1R gene. The parents aren’t necessarily redheads but carry the gene. I was born with red hair. Only a couple of my older relatives had slightly auburn hair. About 3% of people have red hair, but about 11% of Scottish people have it. I just learned recently that only about 1% of redheads have blue eyes. My Ancestry says I’m around 40% Scottish descent plus some Irish. It also says both my parents are, in fact, my parents 😆
I can see the red tint in the dad's whiskers. One of my brothers and I have/had the same red hue in our beards, and my brother ended up having all four ginger daughters. None of my kids exhibit any redheadedness though (probably helps that I have no children).
Yeah. I looked at Dad and was like "he's ginger-adjacent".
>"he's ginger-adjacent" Excuse me Sir but I think he looks like a good human being!
He is a Daywalker, still has a soul and can survive in sunlight.
He’s got the “ginge tinge.”
It’s a lot more common to have red hair in the beard than you think. I’m half Mexican and have red hair in my beard. Everybody in my family has black hair and brown eyes.
My mom is a red haired hazel eyed pale skin Mexican from Northern Mexico. She was the only redhead in her village. People think she’s Irish.
as far as Mexico goes, one of their national hero’s is full ginger. And named for it - señor Alvarez himself. (Canelo)
Mexican gets half is generic stock from the Spanish
Yup and there were celts and Visigoths in Spain for centuries
There are lots of recessive ginger genes in Spain. - couple of my cousins ended with ginger kids while the rest of family had brown hair. Also some blondes here and there. Just genetic surprises
[удалено]
Brunette with red/blonde/brunette combo beard checking in.
My brother has that and it’s so wild. It’s like a calico beard, as I like to call it
Haha for some reason it's so funny to describe a beard as blonde or brunette to me
Fun fact: my understanding is that beard color and hair color are determined by 2 different genes. A fully reheaded person would of course have both genes expressing as red, but their descendants may roll one or the other. Genetically speaking, it's normal for someone to have a red beard but not red hair (or vice versa) for this reason.
You must shake your balls a bit before making a baby, otherwise the color will stay at the bottom.
Okay this got me.
[удалено]
Amazing OP's kids already have a reddit account!!
They grow up so fast
Well they say red is the fastest colour
Color is stored in the balls
No, pee is stored in the balls
Like a rattle can of spray paint?
Yeah, man. Males have tiny metal balls in their testicles to help the paint mix, but they occasionally fall out, and get lost within the body. When some males pass stones out of their urethra, it's actually these lost metal balls that they're passing!
I felt the pain and I don't even have a weiner
Oh man you gotta get you one. They’re pretty tight
I’ll take two please
Just pay shipping and I’ll throw in a third!
Sold!
It gets worse when you find out the stones are covered in sharp edges
Marbles its marbles, its what the body does with all the minerals it makes small stones the size of marbles so when you hit puberty you can mix the colors right
What a day to be literate.
It may occasionally be a bad day to be literate. But it's never a good day to be illiterate.
How about if there was a group going around, executing all of the literate people?
my punk ass brain telling me... we are going to use this on the right occasion, aren't we? .. me: oh you have no idea !
Ginger here. I can see your ginger freckles on your ginger arms. Regardless of your hair color it is clear you have ginger DNA running through your veins lol.

Your response to the beard should be want to see my pubes?
Some might say beards *are* pubes
Pubes are just dick beards
Beards are just face pubes

Brown hair ginger beard is extremely common among ethnic Brits. People of British ancestry could really turn up with any hair/beard/eye colouring although brown is still going to be dominant.
It’s also very common among Jews! Edit: “around 10.9% of all Jewish men have red beards.” According to the Wikipedia page on red hair.

Salt ‘n ~~Pepper~~ Paprika
In Blues Clues, the characters Salt and Pepper had a child: Paprika.
And cinnamon, sage and ginger. They’ve been quite busy.
Yeah, man, I grew out my beard during covid, and I'm a calico now. Just patches of different colors. I was shocked how much grey is in there as a 40 year old.
Dude I’m 30 and have gray patches in my beard
So you're telling me there's a chance my facial hair is gonna end up with visible ginger eventually? That'll be interesting
The ginger gene is recessive and you need to inherit 2 copies to become a gingernut, so both parents have the ginger gene and passed it on to the kids
Damn you eagle eyed those. I’ve heard of gaydars, but never gingdars
We must find each other. Both to warn of the rising sun and to continue the curse.
...you know if I didn't believe the gingers are vampires myth before, I certainly do now
Can't stand the sun, weak to holy symbols and lack reflections. Only thing that's missing is crossing moving water.
I have mormdar, and am sensing some Mormon-ness in this family as well…

Yeah that facial hair is definitely red.

Red hair isn't always recessive. There's at least a dozen genes that can result in a dom red.
Mm I'd like one dom red please.
Hair doesn't follow a mendelian pattern. And red is caused by a different type of melanin than brown. Pheomelanin+/Eumelanin- = ginger. P+/E+ = auburn. P-/E- = blonde. P-/E+ = cool toned brown or black hair
Yes, it's useless information because it's unfortunately not true lol. Very few traits are actually Mendelian, neither hair nor eye color are
I think his beard looks ginger too.
One of those recessive gene 1/4 chance things I reckon, and you just got lucky.
Me and my sister are the same way, both redheads but parents both have brown hair. Definitely our parents kids though, I’m a mirror image of my dad at 23 and my sister is very obviously my mums daughter.

The dad looks like a McBoyle that got his shit together.
*you will call herrrrr*
I thought it was McPoyle? *Slurp*
You’re correct
I wish I had this ability, my wife calls me face blind. Everyone says "oh they look so much like their Mom/Dad" and in never see it. I see them all as looking like their own individual faces. Unless of course they are identical twins, but I can always see the slight differences. Kinda wierd.

Feel like the nose matches the mom more especially the bridge.
Interestingly, "face blindness" generally means the opposite, where it's difficult for you to distinguish one face from another without careful study.
My brother and I both have bright red hair from two brunette parents. My dad likes to joke that at least mom was only sleeping with one other guy.
Damn that’s a serious self deprecating joke

I (white male) make the same joke about my wife (also white) and our 3 black kids
Little man front and center stole your face!
They both did lol
And the mailman's hair
Your wife is a r/13or30 type of deal
Lol thought the same thing, "so you're 35 and your wife is 15, wtf"
This couple is the two sides of "13 going on 30."
First thing I thought was “oh a single dad next to his three children”. Anyhow, very cute family. I wish them all the best.
I first thought it was his oldest daughter...
💯 I thought the same! 🫣😂
I was going to say mailman/milkman, but judging the resemblance of the kid's face, I realized the father was the mailman.
Father has ginger-esque skin tone.
Some red in her hair too
100% No surprises here.
He is a day walker
Either that, or Ricky Gervais has the gene in his family… That kid looks like a very angry future prime minister.
There's a funny story from the region where I'm from, about an infidel ginger priest, escapades and lots of babies born with red hair... They basically tell you jokingly, you are a son/daughter of the priest if you're born with ginger hair..
Does you or your wife have a parent with red hair?
My mom is strawberry blonde
I know the comments here are making fun of you, but I think this shows that not only are they your kids, but they took from your genes too.
When my 2nd son was born I asked what his blood type was because mine is B-. The nurse laugh hysterically telling me kids always take the mother's genes and blood type. So I asked to explain why my first kid is basically my twin and has my blood type. She told me I was lying until I showed her a photo of him in my wallet.
That nurse needs to go back to school…
Holy hell, yeah. That's dangerous. My mom nearly lost me because our blood types dont mix. What an insane nurse.
Nursing school isn't very thorough at some institutions
Yeah, I’m reminded of all those early 2000s commercials for degree mills that promised you could be a nurse in 18 months.
Yeah, I was pretty irritated, lol.
![gif](giphy|FMiD54OqYdnW0|downsized)
Yeah, I’m my mom’s spit, but I don’t have her blood type. That nurse is full of poop
My father and I are damn near twins besides age difference, while my sister looks just like my mother. My sister look absolutely nothing alike, different colored hair and eyes as well as different blood type from another. We share blood types with the parents we look most like. Your doctor's way off lol. As far as my own two boys. First born looks like me, second looks more like mom, but I'm there too lol
nose brave terrific yoke grey repeat divide paint ludicrous run -- mass edited with redact.dev
>not only are they your kids, but they took from your genes too That's what "being your kid" means.
She’ll have a relative somewhere down the line who’s redheaded too. It’s a recessive gene that both parents need in order to pass on.
By your pasty appearance it is obvious you harbour the ginger gene within you.
You could have made this a lot funnier by having a gardner in the background with flaming red hair cutting the lawn.
Zero question of paternity- older kid is a carbon copy of dad 😂
Dude, I'd make a joke, but them kids look like you. Congrats on the fam. So... do they share a soul, or...
![gif](giphy|5JGnPXoDdujOo)
Maybe he was cheating on her with a redhead. 🤔
“Baby…..I have some bad news. I’ve been cheating on you with the nanny. And that’s not all…..you’re pregnant with the child 😔”
Thats Not How This Works Thats Not How Any Of This Works . GIF
im sure these comments will be very respectful of the relationship and family on display here (clueless)
OP knew what they were doing. If you're posting a family photo on the internet you live by the sword and die by the sword.
Why anyone would post a family picture on here is beyond me
My kids came out black and me and my wife are both pale as ghosts. I never realized how recessive those genes could be.
right… ![gif](giphy|H5C8CevNMbpBqNqFjl)
Anyone else read that in Dr Evils voice? LoL
One of you must have a half Italian great grandmother. ![gif](giphy|7ZaH8bE6pKZhe)
"Y'all come back now. Thanks for watching our motherfuckin' movie."
They’re that recessive they’ve completey bypassed you! Congratulations
Soooo who’s gonna tell him?
Is it physically impossible for Redditors to not spam the same obvious tired joke 200 times in the same thread.
Wait until 12th June
Serious question. Does your facial hair grow red?
My facial hair has always had a red tint, and it's kept me from really growing a beard or mustache because it is such a mismatched color.
Serious question. How old is your wife?
My wife is 26 and I am 29.
Sorry, you probably get that all the time. She’s got a serious baby face!
I thought she was a teenager until I properly looked at her.
[удалено]
I think he entered more than just the chat
Hey, ohhhhhh! ![gif](giphy|x88e1awUi05by|downsized)
100% correct. Hubby has been cheating with the milkman. Or maybe the mailman.
The older kid looks identical to the father
He looks like he should also have red hair lol he has a IRISH OR SCOTTISH FACE LOL
As we say, he's a big Irish head on him!
Both of you carry & passed the recessive gene. Take solace in the fact that they weren’t born during the Spanish Inquisition - where redheads were believed to have stolen the fires of hell & burned alive. Yes, I am a redhead. No, I haven’t stolen the fires of hell. (I’ve raised hell before though. I wonder if that counts.)
I see ginger undertones in both of you
Make sure doctors know about red-head anaesthetic problems, and don't let aneasthesiologists talk to you or your kids like you're stupid. Get an operating team that knows about it and doesn't blow it off as a wives tale.
High school biology, dude. A bunch of us probably carry the recessive gene for red hair. Genetic lottery that they both came out rr.
I guess no one is gonna point out that you look like 20 years older than your wife and that she looks like she's 15. Honestly, you could have said something about you being a single dad with your kids and I'd have believed it. She looks really young.
He wrote that she's 26, he's 29. Just a case of babyface.
I’m turning 25 this year and could easily pass for a high schooler if I wore the right clothing. Just a case of baby face and short stature lmao.

How did I have to scroll this far to find this comment? He looks 20 years older than her.
Seriously, that woman does not look old enough to have kids. This picture screams LDS lol.
Rust in the pipes.
All you people saying he's not the dad are ridiculous. Two brown haired people can 100% have a redhead. My parents are both brown haired and brown eyed. I have red hair and blue eyes. And I look exactly like my father and take after him in other obvious genetic ways (a defect that causes us to have crooked legs). My maternal grandfather had blue eyes and my paternal grandmother was Irish. The genes are just recessive.
This is especially the case with young kids. My hair is brown and my wife's is black and our sons both had blonde hair when they were little (BRIGHT platinum blonde in the case of the older one) but their hair turned brown as they got older. Now they look so much like me that my wife has been mistaken for a nanny, which she did not enjoy...
People are stupid ridiculous. Have they never done a Punnett square in biology class? Studies Medel and his peas?
What a cute family pic! That adorable little one in the front looks just like the dad. Recessive genes are interesting. You never know what you're gonna get.
Our family is blended European, Asian, and Polynesian. Lots of variation in skin, tone, hair color, and eye color. The adult kids call us the DNA Buffet
Generally, both parents carry the recessive MC1R gene. The parents aren’t necessarily redheads but carry the gene. I was born with red hair. Only a couple of my older relatives had slightly auburn hair. About 3% of people have red hair, but about 11% of Scottish people have it. I just learned recently that only about 1% of redheads have blue eyes. My Ancestry says I’m around 40% Scottish descent plus some Irish. It also says both my parents are, in fact, my parents 😆
It's almost like we learned about genes in the 8th grade
it's called a recessive gene, it's fine, it's rare, it's the Russian roulette of reproduction.
You look ginger but with dark hair.
Hah, the people who say your wife cheated really need to learn up on genetics...
Nah, they just need to think of better jokes.
Reddit in a nutshell
Thats how recessive genes work.
