We may have an answer to a large music mystery from the '90s.

Last week, Twitter user @AbneyCamryn was shocked to find out that her sister, Jade, dated R&B singer Usher when they were in high school. It sounds unbelievable but her sister provided picture evidence.

The revelation prompted many users to speculate that Jade may have been the inspiration for Usher's 2004 hit single "My Boo," which talks about young love and first kisses. And, there's a pretty good chance Jade could have been Usher's first kiss.

The proof is too hard to deny.

The craziness didn't end there as Jade's Usher confession inspired others to share stories about their family members dating celebrities.

This gives new meaning to the phase "the one that got away."
