Although it is verified that The Bachelorette season 21 runner-up Marcus Shoberg is the son of parents Gerald and Dawn Shoberg, netizens speculate that he has Korean roots and his American parents adopted him.
On the subreddit r/thebachelor, when a Redditor asked about Marcus’s ethnicity, one replied, “He’s African, Korean, Filipino, and Spanish.” Another pointed out that his surname, ‘Shoberg,’ is of Swedish origin, so perhaps his known parents adopted him as well.
Besides that, Marcus appears somewhat different than that of his parents in the pictures. So, it makes sense about the stemming speculations about his adoptive parents.
While there is nothing official to confirm the ethnicity of Marcus Shoberg, it is official that he is of American nationality and was born in Cloquet, United States.
Marcus Shoberg’s parents have been married for over 40 years!
Born on April 28, 1992, in Cloquet, Minnesota, The Bachelorette star Marcus Edward Shoberg, 32, is the son of Carlton natives Dawn and Gerald Shoberg.
Besides the son Marcus, the Shoberg couple has a daughter, Gabrielle Shoberg, a freelance photographer.
Even though his parents have been together for over 40 years, since they got married on May 23, 1981, their love seems stronger than ever.
So, many Bachelorette fans were saying that it perhaps influenced Marcus to have something similar in his love life.
While Marcus’ mother, Dawn Shoberg, is active on her social media, uploading family pictures every now and then, his father, Gerald, seemingly does not have any social media handle.
Moreover, she has featured a photo story of her son, Marcus, in his military uniform on her Facebook wall.
