In my case, this is literally true. When I was in my 20s, I learned that my maternal grandmother had a child out of wedlock when she was a teenager. This was a surprise at the time because I just never thought of any "grandma" being promiscuous.
Just within the last few years we learned* that my paternal grandmother got pregnant with her first child (my uncle) while grandpa was still married to another woman. This was particularly shocking because this grandma was very religious. They eventually got married, but it was after my uncle was born.
*When asked when she was married, grandma always refused to give an exact date—she claimed she didn't remember. It wasn't until she was (literally) on her deathbed that she admitted the truth to my dad.
