Does anyone NOT carry the blue eye gene and have a blue eyed baby?

Question

Just curious!  I think it’s interesting and fun.
I have hazel eyes, but my siblings and Mom have blue eyes, so I carry the gene.  My boyfriend is Hispanic, very beautiful dark features, but doesn’t carry blue eye gene.
They say both parents have to carry the gene to have a chance at baby having blue eyes.  I’ve heard some rare stories of this happening and one of parents do not carry the gene.
Can anyone relate to that?  Tell me your baby eye story background 💖

Answer

Both parents have to carry the gene. Just because he and his immediate family members don’t have blue eyes doesn’t mean that they don’t carry the gene for it. He inherited it somewhere down the line.

Answer

That is per definition impossible. You have to carry the gene to pass it on, but you might not realise you carry certain genes because they're recessive.

Answer

I have hazel eyes and my husband had blue eyes. My daughter has the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.

Answer

I'm 100% Mexican so I'm brown haired and brown eyed although green eyes run in my family, my baby's biological father has light brown hair and green eyes, and my baby is almost blonde and has blue eyes, I was honestly expecting her eyes to be green

Answer

No one in my family has blue eyes. Not one person that I’ve met, or my parents have met and my daughter has the brightest blue eyes. Daddy has blue eyes too

Answer

my brother has blue eyes and his wife had brown eyes and my nephew has blue eyes

Answer

all of my siblings and myself have colored eyes. I won't say we have green or blue because we are crazy and they change colors depending on what we wear. my brother had 6 kids. 4 with a Hispanic woman and only the oldest has colored eyes. the 2 others are with a white woman with colored eyes and they have brown eyes. Its just a luck of the genes I guess.

Answer

you don't know eye color from generations ago hun

Answer

it is possible if one parent has a spontaneous mutation rather than an allele that they inherited from their parent but this is very rare. The other parent would also have to either be homozygous recessive or heterozygous dominant.

Answer

I call my nephew the milk mans baby. Blonde and blue eyes! lol Were all brown eyes and brunettes. Maybe an uncle or someone on either side but def not parents or grandparents or aunt's/uncles.
