This is from Wikipedia, hope it helps you:

They are popularly thought to be cousins, but Tolkien only calls them "friends" in The Lord of the Rings. In a later letter (The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien, #214) he writes that they were "evidently relatives".

In the book, I can only find that they were friends.
