I am not a geneticist but have a degree in biochemistry so I took genetics as part of my required courses. The two things aren't really related, like multiple members have mentioned above, hair color and eye color are alleles of different genes. I think it's cute that everybody is mentioning their aunt/friend/daughter as examples but ,ultimately, it all comes down to the science. Read the articles, the others have listed, if you want to know how this stuff works.

thanks everyone for your help and attached articles. Im sorry if have irritated anyone with my question, I was just wondering!

Yes i have seen children/ young teenagers who have blonde hair and brown eyes but i always understood that almost all would eventually grow up to have brown hair (even very light shades) and brown eyes.

My question was actually in reference to adults though. I have a basic understanding of the genetics its just that i've never actually seen it myself in real life on an adult. Thanks everyone :)

Well, that is an outrage! What are they waiting for?

According to the Forrest Gump law as applied to genetics: "You never know whutchew gonna git," brown-eyed blondes are far from the strangest things that are genetically possible.

It is possible to win the Power Ball, however that does not make it likely, and when we add that to the fact, as several have pointed out, that blonde hair, whether accompanied by brown eyes or not, tends to darken with age, and add to that the prevalence of changing/choosing one's hair color, and one more - add to that the perception of blonde as an especially desirable and attractive hair color, the likelihood, the probability, that either Jessica Simpson, Shayne Lamas, or even the New Work Out skank Renessa are natural blondes today, is smaller than the likelihood that they A) were blondes as children B) really have blue eyes but are wearing brown contacts C) look as pretty as they would if they let it grow out.

It's *definitely* possible! My college roommate was the natural, crunchy granola type and would *never* have dyed her hair. She had honey-blonde hair and very dark brown eyes. In her childhood photos, she had platinum blonde hair.
