Holy pop! According to a new deep dive published by The New York Times, the newly named Pope Leo XIV is related to two of pop music's biggest names: Madonna and Justin Bieber. In assembling a detailed family tree for the Chicago-born religious leader - who was elected the new head of the Catholic Church in May following the death of Pope Francis - the publication found that Leo is distantly linked to the two singers through a shared ancestor born about six generations back.

Through a distant maternal ancestor, who was born in the 1590s, Pope Leo is ninth cousins, various times removed, with some well-known figures, including Pierre and Justin Trudeau, Hillary Clinton, Angelina Jolie, Justin Bieber, Jack Kerouac and Madonna.

Pope Leo XIV met with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres during a private audience at the Vatican June 11. The meeting with the U.N. chief took place in the pope’s study in the Paul VI Audience Hall before the pope’s morning general audience in St. Peter’s Square, the Vatican press office said in a communique.
