London - A brother and sister who were separated when their parents divorced have been reunited after more than 30 years, after meeting on a dating website in Britain.
Sarah Kemp, 42, and George Bentley, 47, realized they were related when they shared a pub lunch after exchanging emails for three months.
The penny finally dropped when they started chatting about their childhood, the Press Association reported Friday.
The siblings were born to the same parents in Ashford, in the southern county of Kent, but were separated when their mother and father split more than 30 years ago.
Kemp, who was six at the time, joined her mother in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Bentley, then 11, lived with his father in London.
They tried to search for each other for years but Bentley did not realize that Kemp had changed her name after marriage.
'We had so much in common, and we really enjoyed each other's company. It was as if we'd known each other all our lives', said Kemp about the reunion.
