I’m not totally surprised that she’s dutch. Kris Jenner is also Dutch and has the same complexion and dark hair as well as an owner of a former job of mine. The lady was the daughters of one of the flying dutchmen during wwII and also had that same complexion and dark hair! Anywho Leighton’s beautiful

That’s her Irish heritage. I’m dark (darker hair actually than Leighton) and have very dark brown eyes, but I’d be paler.
