It's no secret that the Spears family is chock-full of talent.
Britney Spears was one of the biggest pop stars of the 1990s, 2000s and beyond, while her sister Jamie Lynn Spears has carved out a successful career for herself within country music.
However, it turns out the "Toxic" singer is related to one of her contemporaries in the music industry.
According to Ancestry.com, Spears and *NSYNC alum Lance Bass are sixth cousins once removed.
LANCE BASS CLAIMS HE WAS 'KEPT AWAY' FROM BRITNEY SPEARS AMID CONSERVATORSHIP
The reveal was made during the genealogy company's "2 Lies & A Leaf'' episode, available Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m. EST.

Bass was asked to guess which musical legend he was related to among Spears, Faith Hill and Elvis Presley.
Bass guessed Presley, but his husband, Michael Turchin, correctly guessed the true relative.

According to Ancestry, Spears and Bass were born only 98 miles apart. Spears was born in McComb, Mississippi in 1981 while Bass was born in Laurel, Mississippi in 1979.
"I wanted to find out I was related to the Queen, turns out I’m related to the Queen of Pop – and that’s even better," Bass, 42, said.
TMZ recently spoke with Bass about Spears and asked him whether he thinks the singer will be seen out-and-about more often now that her conservatorship appears to be drawing to a close.
"I hope so," he said. "It'd be lovely to see her out and about."
