She’s pretty, but I don’t think she looks 100% inbred European…maybe she has something like Turkish in her background.
there’s no way she’s turkish
There’s no way white Albanians look like her you don’t live in Europe and can’t see it.
I thought she was either Italian or Slovene/Croatian at first. Possibly Romanian as well.
Only the Southern Italians of ancient Albanian and Spaniard roots are like her looks Spaniard too cause Spaniards have Slavic roots like the famous Arab root, I live in Italy and I can say it, you don’t know that the Italians you “know” are not Italians for real, are you Hispanic right you’re so obsessed to us and who believe to be white even if you’re not.
Her maternal grandparents are possibly named Iljaz Rexha and Zinka.
She’s Albanian
