Nick and Trubel talking at the same time. :3

How old was Trubel when her birth parents were killed?  Because, in a very conoluted fashion, Nick+Trubel being siblings may be possible

Well…Nick is 32, and Trubel is 21. Nick’s father died in March 1994, just after Trubel’s first birthday and a few months shy of Nick’s twelfth (going by the birthdays listed on the Grimm wiki). So in theory, Nick and Trubel could be related, but I only see two possibilities:

  1. One or the other of Nick’s parents was unfaithful, a child resulted from the affair, and the other partner kept Trubel after she was born.
  2. Nick’s mother got pregnant again and, knowing the danger her first child was already in, decided to conceal the pregnancy/fake a miscarriage and give the baby up for adoption.

The second one seems less likely if Kelly knew, as she probably did, that her daughter would almost certainly also be a Grimm; she would have been giving her up to parents who could not understand her or protect her once the Grimm powers came into play.

So I would guess that if Nick and Trubel are somehow related, it’s via infidelity on the part of one or the other of Nick’s parents. Technically, the dad would make more sense as it’d be easier in terms of, you know, no one noticing that Kelly was pregnant (including Nick, who would have been old enough to notice at the time). But then, we have no proof of whether Nick’s dad was a Grimm or not, so it’s difficult to say.

All in all, I find it pretty unlikely that they’re related, even though they do look a lot alike.

This post got some notes recently and I’m laughing because thanks to the finale, we now know they are related! Just not siblings. Cousins! 😊🤗
