The link no one knows is true or not is way too weak for them to be considered related, at least that’s what people who study family ancestry told me.

On top of that, Pinkie described her relationship to Applebloom as being, “a fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth cousin,” and since Applebloom and Pinkie are sisters to Big Mac and Marble respectively, we can conclude that their relation to each other would be the same. In addition to this, the odds of a child being born with birth defects are only marginally more likely among first cousins, and there are no signs of any such increase within second cousins and onward, so to call the relationship incest is stretching it quite a bit.
Are people still going about Marble and Mac being cousins? The link between the families happened quite a while back, to the point where only Pinkie would make a big deal about it. Also, it’s through marriage, which means they’re not blood related at all.

I thought it was unconfirmed or something
Nope. It was by marriage generations back. No more blood than Twilight and Rainbow Dash.
Don’t they have a common ancestor?
Even when they’re cousins in name only?

Big Mac gets all the shy mares
I’m recalling the comic where Fluttershy writes Cadance for help with getting Mac and think it could fit with Marble too.
No one cares, no matter how much you point it out.
I hope not, because they only cousin of hers we know of is Blueblood…
Well what if our dear love butt here teaches by example?
Cable?
Marbledence?
