These Celebrity Kids Are All Grown Up Now And Are Famous
Originally published on our sister site Fame 1st
With so many lovable celebrities in the world, it might be little surprise that so many people love to know all about their private lives. From weddings to starting a family and everything in between, keeping up with them all can sometimes feel like a full-time job.
Plenty of stars have welcomed children throughout the years. However, times have changed, and these celebrities’ kids are all grown up now and are famous in their own right. That’s correct; some of them now appear to be showing their parents how it’s done.
Bindi Irwin continues to do the work of her conservationist father, Steve Irwin
There’s a good chance most people have heard the name Bindi Irwin a time or two throughout their lives. Although she dominates in Australia, Bindi is a worldwide name thanks to the work of her father: Steve Irwin. The zookeeper, conservationist, TV star, and legend sadly lost his life in a stingray incident when Bindi was just a child.
That hasn’t stopped Bindi from picking up where her father left off and continuing the Crocodile Hunter’s legacy. The 23-year-old has started a family of her own, welcoming a daughter in March 2021, and has walked down the aisle with wakeboarder Chandler Powell. Bindi also currently stars alongside her family in the reality show ‘Crikey! It’s the Irwins.’
Ireland Baldwin is a part of the influential Baldwin family thanks to her father, Alec
No one needs to search too far to find a Baldwin in Hollywood. The family has dominated the scene for decades and has been in the headlines ever since. Hayley is now married to Justin Bieber, the Baldwin brothers continue to act, and Ireland Baldwin is quickly making the scene her own now she’s all grown up.
She’s the product of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin’s famous relationship and has been making quite the name for herself. Ireland started DJing as a professional in 2019 and hasn’t looked back. It appears being in the music world also saw her cross paths with musician RAC, as the pair announced they were dating in 2021.
Zelda Williams has continued to work as an actress after losing father, Robin Williams, in 2014
Losing Robin Williams was a blow the world will likely never forget. The comedian and actor was a much-loved face across the planet until he ultimately took his own life in August 2014. Thankfully, his fans will never let his memory fade, especially as Robin’s daughter is doing such a good job of keeping it alive.
Zelda Williams was welcomed during Robin’s second marriage to Marsha Garces and has quickly grown up to become famous in her own right. Throughout the years, Zelda has continued her father’s legacy of working in front of and behind the cameras as an actress, director, and even dabbled as a writer. It seems there’s nothing Zelda can’t do.
Dylan Penn has recently starred in a movie alongside Sean Penn
What happens when two Hollywood stars come together? If Sean Penn and Robin Wright are anything to go by, they create another leading star set to take the world by storm. That’s right; Dylan Penn has enjoyed plenty of inspiration throughout her life, thanks to her star-studded family. That doesn’t mean things have always been easy.
Throughout high school, Dylan says that she had to work a host of jobs to pay her way, such as time as an advertising intern, pizza delivery driver, and waitress. Amazingly, Dylan has even worked with her dad in recent years. In 2021, the actress starred alongside Sean in the drama movie ‘Flag Day’ which Sean also directed.
Paris Jackson has come a long way from her days hidden by Michael Jackson
There are famous children, and then there’s the Jackson family. Michael Jackson was once arguably the most famous man in music, thanks to his incredible career. The King of Pop released a host of hit songs, toured the world multiple times, and has gone down as one of the most influential people in the industry of all time.
Being from such a famous family meant Paris Jackson was thrust into the limelight. However, Michael wanted his children to live normal lives, so Paris was largely hidden from the press. Thankfully, her troubled days and struggles with her mental health are in the past, as Paris now focuses most of her time on her own music career.
Blanket Jackson has gone through several changes since Michael Jackson passed away
Even though Michael Jackson welcomed three children, Blanket might arguably be the most interesting of them all. He’s the youngest of the bunch, and no one to this date knows the name of the surrogate mother who carried him for Michael. Blanket was also the child famously held by Michael over the edge of the balcony.
Nowadays, most people close to Blanket know him as Bigi. Blanket was just seven years old when his father passed, so all eyes were on the youngster. That doesn’t mean he’s giving it all away, as Bigi keeps his life largely hidden from the world. Of course, all eyes are still on the 20-year-old whenever Bigi steps out the house.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck started their family with Violet Affleck
Plenty of people can’t help but watch as celebrities settle down and start families of their own. Sadly, with the good often comes the bad, as some couples aren’t so destined to be together as they appear on the surface. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were once the talk of the tabloids with their marriage and family.
That was until their marriage came to an abrupt end that ultimately finished with divorce. Throughout their time together, the pair welcomed three children, including their oldest: Violet Affleck. She was born in 2005 and has been kept largely out of the limelight. Still, there’s no telling what the world has in store for Violet.
Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt is one of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s three adopted children
Let’s face it; there was a time that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were the hottest couple in Hollywood. Brangelina ruled the planet as people couldn’t wait to hear what news the couple had to share. One of the many things that kept people talking was their children. They welcomed several additions and adopted many, including Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt.
Zahara, born and raised in Ethiopia, was adopted by Angelina in 2005 before Brad became her adopted father the following year. Although the couple has separated, they still work to co-parent their children. Perhaps that’s why Zahara has been inspired to start acting in recent years, even working with her parents in a handful of movies?
David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie was dubbed “the most famous baby in the world” when Madonna adopted him
Madonna is a name that’s been tough to escape throughout the years. Being one of the most prominent names in music means Madonna has gone down in history. Things haven’t ended either, as each new album appears to bring a new era in the musician’s life. What about life behind the scenes? She’s always had plenty to keep her busy.
That’s because Madonna’s welcomed two biological children and adopted four more. David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie is one on the list, joining Madonna and her husband at the time Guy Ritchie in 2006. David moved from Malawi to his new home with Madonna, and at 16 years old, he's already carving a soccer, fashion, and entertainment career.
Ava Sambora was focused on college until she got into acting like Heather Locklear
We need to take a step back in time to the ‘90s and ‘00s when Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear were married to set the scene. They were one of the most talked-about couples of the time and cemented their place in the headlines when they welcomed their daughter, Ava Sambora, in 1997.
Believe it or not, but Ava was barely a teenager when she landed her first modeling gig and has been working her way up the ladder ever since. To start, Ava seemed more focused on her studies than working on her career. However, that’s changed in recent years as she’s now following in Heather’s footsteps as an actress.
Mamie Gummer is quickly becoming as iconic as her famous mother, Meryl Streep
Even though Meryl Streep is one of the more iconic names and faces in the world of acting, not everyone knows that much about her personal life. It seems Meryl’s always worked hard to keep the two separate, but it might be tougher now Mamie Gummer’s all grown up. After all, Mamie’s becoming the most famous of Meryl’s four children.
Acting must run in the family, as Mamie has already enjoyed a successful career of her own. So far, the actress has appeared in the likes of the legal drama ‘The Good Wife,’ the psychological thriller movie ‘Side Effects,’ and the comedy-drama ‘Ricki and the Flash’ to name just a few. The world is certainly Mamie’s oyster.
Brooklyn Beckham is the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham
Posh and Becks have been together since before the turn of the century - and they’re still just as iconic. While they might still be riding the high life, it seems their children are quickly catching up in the fame game. It all started when the singer and soccer star welcomed their eldest, Brooklyn Beckham, in 1999.
Although he’s dabbled as a model, it seems Brooklyn is more comfortable behind the camera as he’s now best known as a photographer. Brooklyn also got the world talking in April 2022 as he walked down the aisle with actress and billionaire’s daughter Nicola Peltz. Of course, this meant the couple got to enjoy a pretty star-studded event.
Ava Philippe and Reese Witherspoon have been called each other’s clones throughout the years
It might not take a lot to guess who Ava Philippe is related to, right? After all, looking at her photo for long enough might have you thinking of one person in particular: Reese Witherspoon. The pair has long been discussed for just how much they look like each other - and the close mother-daughter relationship they share with the world.
Sadly, Reese and Ryan Philippe are no longer an item. That hasn’t stopped them from co-parenting their daughter all these years later. So what does Ava do with her time? A lot of the time, she keeps busy with modeling work. However, Ava also has a huge social media following who can’t wait to see what comes from the youngster.
Bella Hadid is one of the most famous Hadids of all time
No matter who you are, if you’re a part of the Hadid family, then there’s a good chance you’ve left your mark on the world. Bella Hadid is no exception. Her father, Mohamed - a real estate developer - and mother, Yolanda - a former model and TV personality - certainly set the bar high when they welcomed Bella into the world in 1996.
So what did Bella do? Smash things out of the park by being named “Model of the Year” at just 20 years old. Throughout the years, Bella has appeared on no fewer than 27 Vogue magazine covers, walked for a host of major fashion brands, and won several awards for her work. Is there anything Bella can’t do?
Isabella and Sophia Strahan often accompanied Michael Strahan on the red carpet when they were younger
Football fans likely recognize Michael Strahan from his time on the field. Even though he’s no longer a professional athlete, Michael is still a major player within the sport and works closely with the NFL. That doesn’t mean he wants the limelight to himself. In fact, the more time passes, the more the focus shifts to Michael’s twin daughters.
Isabella and Sophia Strahan entered the world back in 2004 when Michael was still married to Jean Muggli. For years, we got to learn about the teens from their time on the red carpet with their father. Since then, Isabella and Sophia have worked on their own successful social media careers as people love to keep up with the duo.
Sosie Bacon begged Kyra Sedwick and Kevin Bacon to let her start acting at ten years old
There aren’t many people with the last name Bacon, so it might be no surprise that Sosie Bacon is Kevin Bacon’s daughter. It turns out she didn’t just have acting inspiration from one parent either, as Sosie’s mom is none other than actress Kyra Sedwick. However, her parents were always worried about Sosie growing up in Hollywood.
Even though they tried to keep her out of the limelight, Sosie allegedly begged Kevin to be in her first movie at just ten years old and hasn’t looked back since. The actress earned plenty of praise for her time in the teen drama show ‘13 Reasons Why’ and is soon set to star in 2022’s psychological horror movie ‘Smile.’
Emme Maribel Muñiz surprised many with their voice by singing alongside Jennifer Lopez
If you want to know what it takes to make it as a star, you might want to take a leaf out of Jennifer Lopez’s book. J.Lo started life as a dancer before moving on to acting and wowing the world with her powerful singing voice and uptempo songs. That’s not all J.Lo has under her belt.
She also welcomed two children with ex-husband Marc Anthony, including Emme Maribel Muñiz. While Emme was largely kept away from Hollywood throughout her childhood, that’s since changed, as Emme has learned to come into their own. After all, not everyone could wow the crowd as much as Emme when they joined their mother onstage at the 2020 Super Bowl.
Jack Scott Ramsay has broken away from Gordon Ramsay’s love of cooking
Celebrity chefs are a breed of their own. While many let their food do the talking for them, Gordon Ramsay has taken things to a new level. His various reality shows have seen him come out with some of the slickest insults, and now he’s regarded as one of the most entertaining chefs on the planet.
Cooking isn’t the only thing that keeps him busy, as Gordon also has five children, including Jack Scott Ramsay. It’s regarded pretty easy to see the resemblance between the father-son duo. Still, Jack hasn’t followed in his father’s footsteps. Instead, the youngster has signed up for the Royal Marines in England over becoming another chef in the family.
Hayley Hasselhoff is set to overtake David Hasselhoff as the family’s star
Even if you never watched the drama series ‘Baywatch,’ there’s a good chance you’ve heard David Hasselhoff’s name whispered a few times. Believe it or not, but the actor has much more than his roles to his name, as David’s also worked in production, music, and business. He’s also a father, welcoming Hayley Hasselhoff during his marriage to Pamela Bach.
Things got off to a good start for Hayley when she was just 14 years old after landing her first modeling gig. This came off the back of appearing in the family’s reality show - ‘The Hasselhoffs.’ It seems Hayley has plenty to keep her busy among her continued modeling work and acting, even appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine.
Sistine Stallone was thrust into the limelight thanks to her father, Sylvester Stallone
It can often be tough for celebrities to make their relationship work when they’re always in the limelight. That’s where Jennifer Flavin and Sylvester Stallone have proved the world wrong. The couple tied the knot in 1997 and have been together ever since. They’ve even welcomed three daughters in that time, including middle daughter Sistine Stallone.
Growing up in the limelight means all eyes have often been on Sistine. It also meant modeling agencies were itching to get a contract with the star, with IMG Models ultimately winning when Sistine turned 18 years old. She’s since spent her time walking for some of the biggest designers, including Dolce and Gabbana and Chanel.
Alexa Ray Joel was introduced to the world through many of Billy Joel’s songs
Having Christina Brinkley and Billy Joel as her parents means Alexa Ray Joel didn’t have to wait long to see what life in the limelight is like. Throughout the years, fans of the family have gotten a glimpse into Alexa’s personal life and personality thanks to the number of songs dad Billy has written in her honor.
All of that musical influence appears to have rubbed off on the star, as Alexa is now busy working on a music career of her own. Performing across the world is one thing, but working as a pianist, songwriter, and singer is another. If things continue, there’s a good chance Alexa will go on to outshine her parents.
Frances Bean Cobain holds all rights to Kurt Cobain’s image after his passing
The ‘90s really was a time to be alive. From the fashion to the movies and everything in between, the decade had everything. Another major part of the ‘90s was the grunge movement, largely influenced by Nirvana and the band’s frontman Kurt Cobain. In an arguably even more iconic move, Kurt married musician Courtney Love and welcomed Frances Bean Cobain.
Tragically, Kurt took his own life in 1994, leaving his young daughter behind. Being his only daughter means Frances holds all publicity rights to Kurt’s name and image, but that’s not all. At 29 years old, Frances describes herself as a model and visual artist. In 2021, Frances announced she’s dating Riley Hawk, son of famous skateboarder Tony Hawk.
Ella Travolta was a rock for John Travolta and Kelly Preston when they lost their son
Sadly, John Travolta’s time as a parent hasn’t always been easy. The actor lost his son, Jett, when he was just 16 years old after a tragic accident resulted in the teen losing his life. Thankfully, John had his wife and daughter, Ella Travolta, to help him through the pain. Now, Ella seems determined to follow her parents.
The youngster was just nine years old when she first started acting and hasn’t looked back. When she’s not acting, Ella has been vocal about her time with the controversial Church of Scientology. Sadly, things haven’t always been easy, as Ella has been grieving losing her mother since Kelly Preston passed away from breast cancer in July 2020.
Liv Moore is more interested in fashion than acting like her mom Julianne Moore
There are plenty of celebrity kids who look nothing like their parents. Amazingly, the opposite can be said for Julianne Moore and her daughter, Liv Moore. Everything from their auburn hair to their winning smiles appears to be almost identical to one another. To top it off, Liv also seems to have inherited her mom’s acting talents.
Liv was born in 2002, meaning she still has the rest of her life to work on her career. Apparently, plenty have been interested in booking the star for acting gigs, but Liv is far more interested in working in the fashion industry. Already towering over her mother certainly points in all the right directions for this budding star.
Dominik Cristina García-Lorido has worked with father Andy García a handful of times
Andy García is a name that’s been floating around since the late-’80s. His time in the crime movie ‘The Untouchables’ was enough to put his name on the map, and Andy’s capitalized on that success ever since. His daughter? It seems Dominik Cristina García-Lorido has inherited plenty of her father’s acting talents and is putting them to good use.
Dominik rose to fame in 2005 during the drama movie ‘The Lost City,’ a film actually directed by her dad. Things have only improved from there for the star. As well as working with Andy in the comedy-drama movie ‘City Island,’ Dominik has also appeared in the drama shows ‘Magic City’ and ‘Mr. Robot’ to name just a few.
Dylan Brosnan took Pierce Brosnan’s looks and used them for modeling instead
Did you know that Pierce Brosnan has been married to journalist Keely Shaye Smith since 1994? In that time, Pierce has welcomed two more children - meaning he has five in total - including Dylan Brosnan. For years, many believed Dylan would take inheriting his father’s looks and run straight to Hollywood to become the next-best actor of our generation.
Apparently, the star had other ideas. Dylan much prefers working as a model and hasn't disappointed with how far he’s come with his career. It wasn’t long before Dylan landed a gig with Yves Saint Laurent among being the face of several other high-end brands. We just want to know how Dylan has time for songwriting and music too?
Georgia May Jagger might be the most famous of Mick Jagger’s children
Some might have the moves like Jagger, but no one makes stars quite like the man in question. That’s right; Mick Jagger has eight children to his name, proving the rock and roll lifestyle is far from over. While all of them are famous in their own ways. Georgia May Jagger might be the most prominent of them all.
Having model Jerry Hall as her mother and rock icon Mick Jagger as her father meant Georgia was just 16 years old when she was signed to her first modeling agency. She’s gone on to become one of the most recognized faces across the world and even moved on to working as a designer when she’s not working the camera.
Hailie Jade Scott Mathers hasn't followed Eminem into the world of music
Having a dad with a stage name means Hailie Jade Scott Mathers isn’t always instantly recognized from her name alone. That is unless you’re a fan of Eminem. In that case, you might know all about his daughter and her life, as the rapper often talks about Hailie in his lyrics - even if it is while fighting Machine Gun Kelly.
Eminem’s turbulent relationship with Kim Scott was no secret, with the pair walking down the aisle not once but twice. The rapper’s song, teamed with various headlines, means a lot of Hailie’s life has been lived in the limelight. Nowadays, the 26-year-old is more focused on building her social media following, where she currently enjoys over 2 million followers.
Brandon Thomas Lee became the talk of the town when he was born to Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson. We’ll give you a moment to think of a more iconic duo from their time. Impossible, right? The pair’s relationship was full of ups and downs - including their leaked adult movie - but it wasn’t all bad. After all, the couple welcomed Brandon Thomas Lee into the world during their time together.
Of course, coming from such famous parents meant it wasn’t long before all eyes were on Brandon, as many wanted to know if he’d follow Lee into music or Anderson into acting. It turns out Brandon settled on the latter, but not after using his mom’s connections to work as a model. The world is certainly bright for Brandon.
Lola Consuelos prefers to keep her life a lot more private than Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have long been the talk of the media. It might be little surprise that being the pair’s only daughter meant it wasn’t long before Lola Consuelos joined her parents. Sure, Kelly and Mark have other children, but there’s something about Lola that’s meant she’s always stood out from the rest of her family.
One of the things that people have noticed is how Lola prefers to keep her life pretty private. After years of running private social media pages - and even then rarely posting - Lola gave people a brief glimpse into her life in 2020. She appeared on ‘Live With Kelly and Ryan’ where Lola admitted to spending quarantine on TikTok and Netflix.
Damian Hurley has often been praised for how much he looks like Elizabeth Hurley
For years, people thought Elizabeth Hurley’s time as a highly talented actress would be enough to rub off on her son, Damien Hurley. Things got off to a good start as Damien appeared alongside his mom, who played The Queen in the soap opera ‘The Royals.’ However, the universe had other things in mind for the 20-year-old.
Now, people are more obsessed with how much Damien looks like his mom - a talent he’s taken into modeling. 2020 marked the year he signed up with the prestigious IMG Models that’s been home to the likes of Kate Moss, the Hadid sisters, and Cara Delevinge throughout the years. Amazingly, things have only continued to improve for Damien ever since.
Corinne Foxx has followed her father, Jamie Foxx, into the world of acting
What happens when your dad is one of the biggest names in acting and music? If you’re anything like Corinne Foxx, there’s a good chance you’ll learn from the best and take Hollywood by storm. That’s been the case for the 28-year-old since she was born in February 1994. Thankfully, Jamie Foxx has always supported his daughter.
Jamie has often been spotted with his daughter at major red carpet events, and it appears this taste of the high life was enough to inspire Corinne’s career. Her biggest acting role to date came in the survival horror movie ‘47 Meters Down: Uncaged.’ Amazingly, Corinne’s also found time to model for some major brands in her time, too.
Maude Apatow is overtaking Judd Apatow’s level of fame thanks to her time in Euphoria
Being prominent actors means that Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann have enjoyed some pretty impressive careers. Perhaps now it’s time for their daughter to take center stage and show the world just how much talent the Apatow family has under its belt? Thankfully, Maude Apatow has done just that ever since she joined the world of acting.
It all started when Judd cast Leslie as his on-screen wife and Maude as his on-screen daughter in various productions. The comedy movie ‘This Is 40,’ the comedy-drama film ‘Funny People,’ and the rom-com ‘Knocked Up’ have all been home to the family. However, appearing in the drama series ‘Euphoria’ gave Maude a chance to showcase her true talents.
Mason Disick has taken a step back from fame after growing up with Kourtney Kardashian as his mom
While he might not have the Kardashian surname, there’s no denying Mason Disick is one of the biggest names to come from the next generation of the family. The reality show ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ has given the family’s fans a chance to see plenty of youngsters enter the world as they’ve grown up on our screens.
Mason is Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian’s first child. Sadly, the pair split and Mason has taken a backseat. It’s rare to see him appear on social media with his mom and her new husband, musician Travis Barker. Kourtney’s defended accusations she leaves her son out by saying just because he’s not in photos doesn’t mean Mason’s missing.
Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis is more public with his personal life than his father, Daniel Day-Lewis
One thing plenty of Daniel Day-Lewis fans have learned is that the actor prefers to keep his private life away from the media. That doesn’t mean we rarely get to see the star, as he’s appeared in a host of productions. From the big screen to the stage and everything in between, there’s no role Daniel can’t bring to life.
Maybe Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis would be set to follow in his father’s footsteps? Yes and no. While Gabriel-Kane prefers working as a singer-songwriter to acting, he’s also learned to embrace the fame that comes with his career. The best bit? He often turns heads on the red carpet thanks to his eye-catching ensembles that bring every event to life.
Isabella Jane Cruise is close with Tom Cruise but might have a troubled relationship with Nicole Kidman
It’s no secret to many that things haven’t always been great between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. However, no one really knows the true extent of what went on behind closed doors, as both actors have remained pretty tight-lipped about their former marriage. That is no one apart from those who were there: their children.
Isabella Jane Cruise has allegedly suffered a tumultuous relationship with her mother, not helped by joining the Church of Scientology while living with Tom. Many have been surprised by Isabella’s praise of the Church throughout the years. When she’s not practicing her religion, the youngster is busy working on her clothing line, Bella Kidman Cruise, instead.
Milan Piqué Mebarak is already a star at nine years old, thanks to his parents, Shakira And Gerard Piqué
Being the firstborn son of Shakira And Gerard Piqué meant it was never going to be long before the world found itself obsessed with Milan Piqué Mebarak. The youngster entered the world on January 22, 2013, and has been a superstar in the making ever since. The family was living in Barcelona, Spain, at the time Milan was born.
However, his arrival garnered international headlines. It’s not just gossip sites that want to know about Milan, as plenty have set up a host of fan accounts in his honor. Being a soccer star means that Gerard is often in the media, and having Milan there to cheer him on has given his fans a glimpse of the youngster.
Sasha Piqué Mebarak quickly joined Shakira And Gerard Piqué two years after his brother was born
It appears that one wasn’t enough for Shakira And Gerard Piqué, as the couple welcomed a second son to the world just a few years after Milan. The little one was born on January 29, 2015, meaning Sasha Piqué Mebarak has only had a few years to prove to the world he could be one of the next biggest stars.
Of course, being so young at the moment means we only get to see as much of Sasha as his parents allow. Perhaps that’s how he ends up stealing the show whenever he appears on Shakira’s social media accounts? Here, we’ve also learned Sasha enjoys going surfing and is quickly following in his brother’s footsteps.
Christian Combs’ rap career could mean he ends up being more famous than Diddy
You know you’ve made it when something like your sweet 16 is more extravagant than anything most of us will ever experience in our lives. That was the case for Christian Combs, who was greeted by stars such as Kendrick Lamar and French Montana at his birthday bash. We guess that’s what you get for having Diddy as your dad.
Of course, most known Diddy for his impressive music career that’s seen him in the charts worldwide. Perhaps it’s no surprise that Christian has followed in his father’s footsteps? He’s now better known as King Combs and often keeps his millions of followers entertained with his rap music. At just 25 years old, Christian could quickly overtake Diddy’s fame.
Justin Dior Combs didn’t follow Diddy into rap and has become a football star instead
Having a rapper as a dad meant Justin Dior Combs had two options: he could follow Diddy into the rap world or break away into his own career. It appears Justin chose the latter, leaving his brother to take up the reins instead. Thankfully, having Diddy as his dad does mean Justin’s had a boost in the world.
However, his impressive professional football career has all been built off his own back. When people aren’t talking about his time on the field, most want to know about Justin’s personal life. His $360,000 car and chauffeur for his 16th birthday were one thing. Justin’s many relationships with the likes of Aaleeyah Petty, India Westbrook, and Saweetie are another.
Lourdes Leon could be set to play her mother, Madonna, in a biopic movie about the star
Being just one of two of Madonna’s biological children meant the world was always going to be obsessed with Lourdes Leon. Lourdes, often called Lola, has been in a host of high-profile relationships that have kept her name in the headlines, but that’s not all. Lola’s also been working on her modeling career in recent years.
One of the many rumors floating around in recent years is that 25-year-old Lola could be set to play Madonna in a biopic film about the singer’s life. Sadly, these are just rumors for now. That hasn’t stopped the star from finishing her studies and turning plenty of heads by working for the likes of Vogue in recent years.
Francesca Eastwood has followed Clint Eastwood into the world of acting
Does the Eastwood name ring any bells? That might be thanks to the most famous name from the clan: Clint Eastwood. He’s a legendary actor and filmmaker who’s worked on a host of movies throughout the years, including the antihero franchise ‘Dirty Harry,’ the sports drama ‘Million Dollar Baby,’ and the war drama biopic movie ‘American Sniper.’
Perhaps it’s no wonder the world had big dreams for Francesca Eastwood? Thankfully, she’s done nothing but smash those expectations out of the park. As well as being a socialite, Francesca has worked on her own acting career in a handful of TV shows and movies, as well as appearing in the reality show ‘Mrs. Eastwood and Company.’
Chaz Bono has come a long way since being raised by Sonny Bono and Cher
Sonny Bono and Cher. Can you name a more iconic duo? They started life as a professional pair before walking down the aisle and dominating Hollywood from all angles. It was during their marriage that Sonny and Cher welcomed Chastity Bono, who was largely hidden from the media. That didn’t stop people from wanting to know everything about Chastity.
Things have changed a lot throughout the years, with Chastity now identifying as Chaz, an LGBTQ man. Amazingly, the announcement has done nothing but boost his career. Chaz now works as an author, musician, actor, and activist. Appearances in the likes of the anthology series ‘American Horror Story’ have only helped to cement Chaz as a household figure.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt caused waves as the first biological child born to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
While there’s no denying that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are two of the biggest names in Hollywood - and were once the ultimate power couple - it appears the pair could have paved the way for their children to dwarf their fame. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is one and caused a scene across the world as the first of the couple’s biological children.
Angelina opened up about Shiloh during an interview with Vanity Fair in 2010, where she confessed her daughter loves to dress like one of her brothers. The actress also admitted she’s always wanted Shiloh to be who she wants, making it no surprise to many that her style has transformed from tomboy to a handful of gowns in recent years.
Cordell C. Broadus became an internet hit long after being known as Snoop Dogg’s son
There are rappers, and there’s Snoop Dogg. The legend has been on the scene for decades, and it doesn’t look as though he’s going anywhere any time soon. As well as being one of the most prominent names on the scene, it appears Snoop might also be a dedicated father. Now, Cordell C. Broadus is famous in his own right.
It all started in 2016 when an old clip of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ resurfaced online. Here, Khloé explains that Cordell was just 19 years old when he asked her out on a date. Sadly, they never made it as a romantic item. However, Cordell has since found love on his own and welcomed three children along the way.
Paris Brosnan is already catching up to Pierce Brosnan’s levels of fame
Coming from a famous family means little ones have to decide if they want to follow in their family’s footsteps or keep away from the limelight. It appears Paris Brosnan chose the former, but he wasn’t about to copy his father, Pierce Brosnan. Instead, it’s Paris’ eccentric outfits that first got people talking about the youngster.
At 21, Paris has used this to his advantage and started working as a model. That’s not all. His Hollywood connections and impressive career mean Paris has also earned a host of social media followers who love to keep up to date with his work. Walking for brands like Dolce and Gabbana implies the future is bright for Paris.
Meadow Rain Walker is Paul Walker’s only daughter and is continuing his legacy
The passing of Paul Walker shook the world to its core. Losing such a major player in Hollywood was one thing, but knowing it was all an accident and how Paul was so young was another. To make matters worse, Paul left behind his only daughter: Meadow Rain Walker. However, many didn’t know she existed until the actor passed away.
That’s because Meadow was mostly kept away from the limelight throughout her childhood. Things took a turn in 2017 when Meadow signed a contract with DNA Models. Ever since, she has worked on becoming one of the more prominent names in the industry. Meadow had more good news in 2021 when the model announced she was married.
Simone Johnson has followed The Rock into the world of wrestling
The WWE has seen plenty of stars come and go throughout the years. Still, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is arguably the biggest of them all to walk away from the ring. Although he started life as a wrestler, The Rock is now better known for his acting work and being one of the most-loved names in Hollywood.
Amazingly, his daughter has decided on the more unusual of her father’s careers. That’s right; Simone Johnson has been busy working on her wrestling career. News broke in 2022 that she plans on diving into the ring as Ava Raine. Sadly, the announcement was met with a lot of backlash as many wanted Simone to use The Rock’s name.
Willow Smith has broken away from Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith by going into music
The Smith family name is one that has always been in and out of the headlines - even if it’s not been for the best reasons in 2022. That hasn’t stopped the Smith children from taking the world by storm, including Will and Jada’s daughter, Willow. Things started well for Willow, thanks to her hit song ‘Whip My Hair.’
Things have changed significantly since then. Willow decided to dabble in acting before she realized music was the place she’s meant to be. Now, she’s worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including drummer Travis Barker, as Willow aims to bring the pop-punk movement back to life. She’s certainly succeeding so far.
Jaden Smith has been working on his acting and music career with Jada and Will Smith’s help
Willow isn’t the only one from the Smith clan to take the world by storm. Will and Jada’s son Jaden has also been making a name for himself in more ways than one ever since he hit the big time. Having such a prominent actor as a dad means Jaden learned from the best - and acted alongside Will several times.
It’s not just Jaden’s acting that’s seen him in the headlines. The youngster has his own music career, even earning himself a 2022 Grammy nomination for his work. When he’s not forging his own career, it appears Jaden likes to keep his fans guessing with his unusual social media posts. Millions of followers certainly can’t get enough.
Dakota Johnson has acting in her veins thanks to her famous family
If there’s one thing people have learned, it’s that Dakota Johnson has acting in her blood. After all, her grandparents are none other than the legendary Peter Griffith and Tippi Hedren, while her parents are stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. Perhaps that’s what inspired Dakota to carve her own career as a Hollywood actress?
Thankfully, she didn’t have to look too far. Appearing in the likes of the romantic ‘50 Shades’ movie franchise was enough to see Dakota go down as a household name. When she’s not working on movies or appearing on the red carpet, it seems Dakota passes the time with her partner, British musician and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Many assumed Annie Guest would follow in Jamie Lee Curtis’ acting footsteps
If you’re a fan of slashers, there’s a good chance you know Jamie Lee Curtis. After all, she was the original scream queen thanks to her time in the movie ‘Halloween’ and has been a part of the franchise ever since. It seems Jamie’s had someone by her side throughout her decade-spanning career, as she wed Christopher Guest in 1984.
The pair adopted two children throughout their marriage, including Annie Guest. The world quickly grew used to seeing Annie on the red carpet as she often accompanied her mom to big events. While many thought Annie would follow in Jamie’s footsteps, she ultimately settled for life as a choreographer and dance teacher instead after studying the art at college.
North West has a huge number of fans thanks to Kim Kardashian’s social media following
What happens when you join one of the most famous families on the planet? If you’re anything like North West, you take it all in your stride. While she might not bear the family name, there’s no denying that North is a part of the Kardashian klan and has been making a name for herself ever since.
North was born in June 2013 and became the first of four children for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Although the pair endured a messy split and parenting disputes, North appears to be smiling her way through it all. Having such a social-media-savvy mom means she already has a host of fans at just nine years old.
Taylor Cranston has followed Robin Dearden and Bryan Cranston into acting
The Cranston name is one plenty of people recognize, thanks to none other than Bryan Cranston. The actor and screenwriter isn’t alone in life, as he’s been joined by fellow actress Robin Dearden since their marriage in 1989. Together, the pair share one daughter - and what an impact Taylor Cranston has had on the world so far.
The 29-year-old got to learn all the insider secrets growing up and has put them to good use as an actress ever since. Taylor’s most prominent roles to date include times in the mockumentary ‘American Vandal’ and comedy-drama show ‘Sweet/Vicious.’ However, Taylor’s also broken into movies in recent years, meaning the future looks bright for this star.
Lily-Rose Depp could overtake Johnny Depp’s level of fame if she continues acting and modeling
2022 - the year that seems to have brought just about everything to the table. One of the many things was the highly publicized trial between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard. It might be little surprise that people are more obsessed than ever with Lily-Rose Depp, Johnny’s daughter from his previous relationship with Vanessa Paradis.
However, Lily-Rose isn’t one to live off of her parents’ success. Instead, the star has her own successful modeling career - including working as a brand ambassador for Chanel since 2015 - as well as a lengthy acting resume. As well as releasing four movies in 2021, Lily-Rose is set to star in the upcoming drama series ‘The Idol’ sometime in 2022.
Patrick Schwarzenegger has carved out an acting career with modeling on the side
During his marriage to Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwarzenegger welcomed four children into the world. One of these was Patrick Schwarzenegger, the oldest of his sons. It seems that from a young age, Patrick has been interested in following in his father's footsteps, at least to some degree. He's been racking up acting roles since the sports comedy film 'The Benchwarmer.'
Other roles of Patrick's include the romantic drama 'Midnight Sun,' the comedy movie 'Grown Ups 2,' and the biographical drama series 'The Staircase.' He also reportedly has an upcoming role in the superhero series 'The Boy.' This is on top of his modeling work, with Schwarzenegger having worked for campaigns with the likes of Ralph Lauren and Armani.
Joseph Baena has become a bodybuilder, just like his father
Of all of Arnold Schwarzenegger's kids, there's one that stands out more than the rest - Joseph Baena. That's because he doesn't share the same mom as all the others. Baena was conceived during Arnold's affair with his household staffer, something that caused quite a controversy when it emerged years later. Fortunately, relations with everyone involved have improved since then.
Like Patrick, Joseph has also followed in his father's footsteps, albeit down the bodybuilding route. His impressive physique, along with his controversial past, has helped Baena to start picking up acting roles, with several now in post-production. It also scored him an appearance on the 31st season of the reality competition series 'Dancing with the Stars,' where Joseph finished 11th.
Natalia Bryant has her father's sporting passion, albeit for a different sport
In January 2020, the nation wept for the loss of Kobe Bryant, taken from this world far too soon. Not only did his loss devastate LA Lakers fans and NBA enthusiasts, but it also hit his family hard. He left behind three daughters when he passed, the oldest of which - Natalia - is now all grown up.
Much like her father, Natalia has shown a passion for sports, although she's seemingly picked volleyball over basketball. She was the captain of her varsity team in high school and set records while she was there. Now that she's graduated, Natalia's reportedly taken her passion to the University of Southern Carolina, with Natalia also doing some modeling on the side.
Sofia Richie ditched music to focus on modeling and being a fashion designer
As the daughter of Lionel Richie, Sofia Richie was seemingly always destined for greatness. From a young age, she appeared to possess musical talent, from her voice to her skill with instruments like the piano. However, due to the pressure of trying to fill her father's shoes, Sofia eventually decided that a music career wasn't what she wanted from life.
Since then, she's really established herself in the fashion world. She's been in campaigns for big-name brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors, with Sofia endorsing other brands and products on her social media. She's also started launching her own fashion lines, including a swimwear collection and an accessory collaboration. Sofia's doing exceptionally well for someone in their mid-20s.
Margaret Qualley has been growing as an actress for nearly a decade now
It's incredible how much some of these celebrity kids have grown already. It seems like only yesterday that Andie MacDowell's children were barely a few years old, and now Margaret Qualley is a few years from 30. Somehow she's grown up a lot and changed quite a bit in that time, too, from a ballerina to an actress.
Her debut came in 2013 with the drama film 'Palo Alto.' While that was a minor role, she quickly landed something bigger in the form of the supernatural drama series 'The Leftovers.' After earning an Emmy nomination for the biographical miniseries 'Fosse/Verdon,' she hasn't looked back. Why would she when she keeps going from strength to strength?
Coco Arquette has her mom's acting talent but seems more interested in singing
It's easy to forget that the sitcom 'Friends' debuted nearly three decades ago now. A lot of time has passed since then, meaning the cast is much older now, as are their grown-up celebrity kids. One person who definitely isn't a little child anymore is Coco Arquette, the daughter of Courteney Cox, who's nearing her 20s.
Considering her roots, it's maybe no surprise that Coco has had a few little acting roles, albeit nothing notable. However, it seems that she also has an interest in singing, with the teenager actually contributing to the soundtrack of the dramedy film 'Just Before I Go.' She's also occasionally showed off her vocal stylings on Courteney's social media account.
John Owen Lowe managed to clean up his life with help from his dad
Rob Lowe is the father of two celebrity kids, both of whom are definitely now all grown up. Unfortunately, it seems that they've already had their share of troubles, much like their dad did when he was younger. John Owen, the youngest of the two sons, reportedly struggled with addiction during his teenage years, although things are better now.
Apparently, John's father was instrumental in supporting his son through his troubles and helping him to get clean. Since then, things have definitely shaped up for the better, with John and Rob actually landing a TV show together. Deadline announced in April 2022 that a series named 'Unstable' had been commissioned where the pair will play a father and son.
Emma Roberts has been nurturing her acting talent for two decades now
Over 20 years ago, Emma Roberts made her acting debut in the biographical crime film 'Blow.' Then just ten years old, she's gone on to become a big name in both movies and TV shows. Her role in the teen sitcom 'Unfabulous' brought her to the attention of many fans, and things have only gotten better since then.
Of course, as the daughter of Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia Roberts, is anyone surprised that Emma has come so far? Acting is seemingly in the family's DNA. Still, out of all the grown-up celebrity kids out there, she's definitely one of the most accomplished. Ryan Murphy certainly seems to enjoy keeping the actress in work.
Michael Conseulos reportedly faced money struggles after leaving the family home
Anyone who watches the morning talk show 'Live with Kelly and Ryan' regularly will probably feel like they know a lot about Kelly Ripa's celebrity kids. After all, the host hasn't shied away from talking about her family life over the years. So, fans will know that Ripa and her husband haven't always made life easy for their children.
Now that their oldest son Michael no longer lives at home, he's apparently faced money struggles. Kelly and Mark both had to work hard to get to where they are now, so they want him and their other celebrity kids to do the same. At least a spot in the drama series 'Riverdale' helped Michael to pay his rent.
Sailor Brinkley Cook has found her feet in modeling, just like her mother
When your mom is a successful model, it's only natural that you might consider a job in this industry too. Sailor Brinkley Cook certainly seemed to think that following in her mother's footsteps was a good idea, and she was right to do so. She's been modeling for almost a decade now and has already made quite a splash.
In 2017, she appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, a publication that made her mother, Christie Brinkley, very famous. She appeared in the following year's issues as well. Sailor has also photographed for the likes of Vogue and walked for brands like Dolce & Gabbana. Unfortunately, her work hasn't always had a positive impact on her struggles with body dysmorphia.
Maya Hawke has managed to stand out as an actress and a singer
Anyone who watches the sci-fi horror drama series 'Stranger Things' will know that Maya Hawke is no longer the little kid she used to be. The daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke has been starring as Robin Buckley since the show's third season and has gained quite a bit of recognition for her acting talent.
Other notable roles of Maya's include the dramedy film 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and the dark comedy movie 'Do Revenge.' She's also put her vocal prowess to good use with the release of several albums. We know that celebrity kids often grow up to do great things, but Maya's really blowing everyone out of the water.
Hailey Bieber is definitely grown up now that she's a married woman
We know that some of the Baldwin kids have done a lot with their lives since growing up, and Stephen's daughter Hailey is one of them. Of course, people probably don't think of her as a Baldwin anymore, given that she's now married to Justin Bieber. She definitely isn't a little kid now she has that ring on her finger.
Although we still remember Hailey as one of those celebrity kids hitting the red carpet with their famous parents, she's now a star in her own right. She's appeared in ads for the likes of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, appeared in publications like Vogue, and even established her own collections for makeup and skincare. Hailey's done some hosting, too.
Alaia Baldwin is both a model and a health and wellbeing advocate
Thanks to her marriage to Justin, Hailey Bieber is probably the most famous of Stephen Baldwin's grown-up celebrity kids. However, that doesn't mean Hailey's sister Alaia lives in her sibling's shadow. Alaia is actually the older of the two and has also done her share of modeling. She's reportedly represented by Squad Management and has walked various runway shows.
Grazia and Harper's Bazaar are just some of the magazines that Alaia has featured in so far, and we expect there will be many more to come. When the older Baldwin sibling isn't posing the house down, she's apparently doing great work as a health and wellbeing advocate. She's been very open about her struggles with endometriosis.
Jack Quaid has picked up where Meg Ryan left off with acting
In the 1990s, Meg Ryan and Jack Quaid were one of the biggest married couples in Hollywood. Although their relationship didn't work out, the pair did at least bring a child into the world while they were still married. Jack Quaid was born in 1992, and now that he's all grown up, he's been showing what he's made of.
You'd probably expect someone with Quaid and Ryan as parents to be a skilled actor, and that certainly seems to be the case. After a minor role in the dystopian action film 'The Hunger Games,' he's gone on to impress in 'The Boys' and the 2022 slasher movie 'Scream. The future definitely looks bright for this celebrity kid.
Rafferty Law is following in Jude Law's footsteps, but hopefully without the cheating
Rafferty Law was only a kid when all the drama with his parents played out. It's hard for many to really forget the time that Jude Law cheated on Sienna Miller with the family's nanny. Fortunately, that incident seemingly hasn't hurt Rafferty's relationship with his father, although the celebrity kid is apparently ready to break out of his parent's shadow.
However, while he might be ready to forge his own career, that doesn't mean he plans on following a path much different from his father's. Rafferty has started to establish himself as an actor, with Law landing a recurring role in the action drama series 'Masters of the Air.' We suppose it was inevitable, given who his parents are.
Iris Law has taken inspiration from godmother Kate Moss on modeling
It seems like Rafferty isn't the only one of Jude Law's celebrity kids who's all grown up and carving a professional career for themself. Whereas her older brother seems interested in establishing himself as an actor, Iris Law appears to be all about modeling. Well, her godmother is Kate Moss, so we suppose that makes a lot of sense.
Alongside studying textiles at Central Saint Martins art school, she's been appearing in campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Lacoste, Versace, and Calvin Klein. Her impressive work also helped her to score an ambassador role for Dior Beauty. Although she might not be fixated on acting, she did recently star in a biographical drama series as Soo Catwoman, too.
Lila Grace Moss Hack scored a Vogue cover before turning 20
Speaking of Kate Moss, it seems that Iris Law isn't the only one of these celebrity kids taking inspiration from her. The model's daughter is also making a name for herself in this industry, with Lila Grace Moss Hack landing a Vogue cover at only 19 years old. She's wasted no time in proving herself now that she's grown up.
Along with the Vogue cover, Lila has also scored gigs with Marc Jacobs, Chanel, and Miu Miu. Moreover, in 2019, she was invited to Princess Eugenie's wedding. Lila still has a long way to go if she wants to have the impact that her mother had - and continues to have - on the modeling world. We reckon she'll manage it, though.
Robert Irwin is just like his dad, even though he hardly knew him
It's evidently very common for celebrity kids to follow in their parent's footsteps. However, that's often because they've grown up seeing their mom and dad succeed in their respective fields. Robert Irwin wasn't so lucky as he was only two when his father passed away from that stingray injury. Despite that, though, he's still ended up in a similar career.
Like his sister, Robert is a very passionate conservationist and is intent on continuing his father's legacy. He's done a fair amount of television work, including appearing in 'Crikey! It's the Irwins.' However, most of his time is reportedly spent at the Australian Zoo, where Robert feeds the animals and sometimes wrestles with the crocodiles, just like his dad.
Dannielynn Birkhead has continued to be a source of interest since her mother's passing
When it comes to celebrity kids, there's probably been more interest in Dannielynn Birkhead than most others. After all, she's the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith, who suddenly passed away when the girl was only five months old. She's reportedly the sole heir of the woman's estate, and many have wondered what she'll do with her life once she's older.
Well, now she's in her mid-teens, we're starting to get a good idea. Dannielynn's already got some modeling experience behind her with Guess. She's also continued to pop up on TV every so often, with most of these appearances being on news and talk shows. It seems interest in Dannielynn is still strong all these years after her mother's passing.
Alexandria Zahra Jones considers herself an artist, just like her dad
It appears there are quite a few celebrity kids who have had to grow up without their parents. One person who lost their dad somewhat recently is Alexandria Zahra Jones, the daughter of David Bowie. Her father passed away in 2016 when she was a teenager. Adolescence is already difficult enough without such a tragedy to contend with as well.
Thankfully, despite the grief, Alexandria has been thriving recently. She reportedly received a lot of interest to model after her mom posted a picture of her on her 18th birthday. However, it seems she's more interested in creating art, with Alexandria quite an avid painter. It's something that she seemingly picked up from her dad, who she still misses greatly.
Julian Murray Stern has finally changed his mind regarding what he thinks of Friends
Lisa Kudrow is best known for her role on 'Friends,' which she was in the midst of filming when she gave birth to her son, Julian Murray Stern. While most people would go on maternity leave when pregnant, Lisa's baby bump was used for one of the show's storylines. How many celebrity kids can say they've had that honor?
Despite this, Julian spent the longest time not actually watching 'Friends.' It's only very recently that he reportedly sat down to watch it and was apparently surprised that he enjoyed it. That's not the only way he spends his time, though. In 2021, he graduated from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, leaving his mom incredibly proud.
Sam Alexis Woods hasn't let her father's questionable past hurt their relationship
There have been some major celebrity dramas over the years, but perhaps one of the biggest was when Tiger Woods was exposed for cheating. It hurt his reputation pretty badly and had quite an impact on his family. Sam Alexis Woods was only a few years old at the time, so she probably wasn't that aware of what had happened.
Fortunately, this seemingly hasn't hurt Tiger's relationship with his daughter, who's now in her mid-teens. She still cares about him a great deal, enough to give an emotional speech in early 2022 when her dad was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. She was every bit an adult in that moment, despite being 14 at the time.
Ray Nicholson is proving to be a suitable replacement for his dad post-retirement
Jack Nicholson is often considered one of history's greatest actors, so now that he's retired, the world needs someone to take his place. Could that person be Ray Nicholson, the man's son who's now all grown up and in the process of building his filmography? He's technically been acting since the mid-2000s but only recently came into his own.
Ray’s previous roles include playing Hallorann in the crime drama series 'Mayans M.C.' and Ray Hall in the adventure drama series 'Panic.' He currently has a fair few credits in post-production, such as the thriller 'Borderline,' where he'll take on a bigger role than some of his past work. We'd say Ray's on his way to his dad's title.
Olivia Jade Giannulli has forged a successful career after the college admissions scandal
The world has long known Olivia Jade Giannulli as the daughter of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli. Unfortunately, those who didn't know her as a child got quite an unfortunate introduction to Olivia several years ago. This was when the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal occurred, and it emerged that Giannulli's college application was fraudulent.
It's never been clear whether Olivia was aware of the scam, but she was shamed and ridiculed regardless. Fortunately for her, the controversy has also helped her career. She boasts over a million followers on various social media platforms, where she now makes money through endorsements and advertisements. She also finished 8th on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2021.
Eve Jobs has proven she doesn't need her father's money to be successful
Money isn't something that most of these celebrity kids have ever had to worry about. That's certainly the case for Eve Jobs, the daughter of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The youngest of all of his celebrity kids, she has the potential to be worth a lot in the future. However, that doesn't mean Eve isn't working hard herself.
Not only did she attend Stanford University, from which she graduated in 2021, but she's also made her mark as an accomplished equestrian. Moreover, in early 2022, she signed with DNA Model Management, through which she's apparently scored a Vogue Japan cover and a Louis Vuitton campaign. Eve probably won't need any of her dad's money soon enough.
Rocco Ritchie has become an artist thanks to how Madonna and Guy Ritchie raised him
Madonna hasn't always had the strongest relationship with her celebrity kids, including Rocco Ritchie. However, things seem to be better between the mother and son now, with Rocco actually praising his mom for helping him with his career. It seems that Madonna and Guy Ritchie's decision to raise him in a "creative household" really made a difference.
Now in his 20s, Rocco is reportedly focused on becoming a painter and recently co-founded his own gallery - Maison Rhed. Rhed was the alias that he used to use when he wanted people to judge his work based on what they saw rather than who painted it. Now, though, he's more comfortable attaching his real name to his art.
Delilah Belle Hamlin has overcome a dependency issue she had with certain medication
Anyone who's been watching the reality series 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' for a long time will be familiar with Delilah Belle Hamlin. She's one of Lisa Rinna's daughters who's appeared periodically throughout her mom's time on the show. Over the years, she's grown into a young woman who her family can be proud of.
That doesn't mean she hasn't had her problems in the past, though. Delilah recently had issues with medication dependency as a result of certain autoimmune problems and increased anxiety. This consequently led to her accidentally taking too much and ending up in the hospital. Thankfully, in early 2022, she publicly celebrated her six-month recovery from the ordeal.
Navarone Garibaldi is talked about more for his music now rather than his mom's relationship
When it comes to Priscilla Presley's celebrity kids, Lisa Marie Presley tends to attract the most attention. Well, her father was Elvis Presley. However, Priscilla has more than one child, with Navarone Garibaldi being her son. He's faced a lot of media interest throughout his life, given his mother's former relationship with the King of Rock & Roll.
Now that he's grown up, though, a lot of the public attention is to do with his own achievements rather than any family drama. Navarone has dedicated himself to music, with the celebrity kid now a member of his own rock band. They're reportedly inspired by the likes of Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails and have sold out many shows.
Ming Lee Simmons has a modeling career that might soon rival her mother's
Kimora Lee Simmons began establishing herself as a model early in her teen years, and she never looked back. That skill, tenacity, and determination are something that she's passed on to her celebrity kids, including Ming Lee Simmons. Just like her mom, she's focused on becoming a model, and she's doing everything right so far.
She already has over a million followers on her social media, with people eager to see what incredible shots she posts next. While she might not have pushed into the industry quite as early as her mom did, she's certainly not wasting any time now. We don't think it will be long before Ming Lee's career matches her mom's.
Aoki Lee Simmons is also passionate about modeling, despite an Ivy League education
It seems that the celebrity kids in Kimora Lee Simmons' family really are passionate about following in their mom's footsteps. That's despite some of them showing exceptional academic prowess, like Aoki Lee Simmons. She's so intelligent that she got into Harvard when she was only 16 years old. That's an achievement few celebrity kids can compare to.
Despite her Ivy League education, Aoki Lee wants to pursue a career in something she enjoys, and that's modeling. She's taken to social media in the past to defend her decision, but her work speaks for itself. Since having her runway debut modeling for Pyer Moss Paris Couture, Aoki's shown that she has the Simmons modeling genes.
Apple Martin recently headed off to college to study an unknown degree
As the lead singer of Coldplay and a highly awarded actress, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow made quite the power couple. Before their "conscious uncoupling," they brought several celebrity kids into the world, including Apple Martin. It's hard to believe that she arrived over 18 years ago, with the teenager very much looking all grown up now.
Given the various talents of her mom and dad, it's not hard to imagine Apple carving out quite a successful career for herself very soon. However, right now, she seems to be focused on college. We're not sure where she's studying or what she's looking to major in, but we expect she'll walk away with a great education.
Rory Gates could potentially become the CEO of Microsoft in the future
We've no idea how tight-fisted Bill Gates is with his money, but we imagine his celebrity kids have never been left wanting for cash. After all, as the co-founder of Microsoft, the man is worth more money than most people can get their heads around. Still, his celebrity kids have done a decent job of earning their own money.
We expect that Rory Gates will be earning quite the salary now that he's graduated from the University of Chicago, reportedly from the School of Law. His future work should tide him over until it's time for Bill to name a successor to Microsoft, which could allegedly be Rory. Becoming the company's CEO would definitely boost his bank account.
Matilda Rose Ledger is practically the spitting image of Heath Ledger
Unlike some of these celebrity kids, Matilda Rose Ledger hasn't been that prevalent in the spotlight. We haven't seen much of her in recent years, which is why it's so shocking for some to see how much she's grown up. She's no longer the little girl that Heath Ledger held on his shoulders while he was still alive.
Matilda only got to spend a few years with her dad, but she reportedly still holds him with her. She certainly bears a striking resemblance to the man whose loss is still felt around the world today. Now 16, Matilda will have to start thinking about her future pretty soon. Whatever it entails, we see great things for her.
Jack Marsden is somehow an adult, despite his dad still seeming so young
Some people might be surprised to know that James Marsden has celebrity kids who are all grown up. The actor doesn't look like he should be old enough to have children who are now adults, yet his oldest son - Jack - is in his 20s. Is it possible that Jack could soon be following in his father's footsteps?
It's possible, although it seems like the younger Marsden is more interested in exploring other avenues at the moment. He's already started to make his mark in the modeling world, having walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana in the past. He also labels himself as a singer and songwriter on his social media, with his debut album released in 2020.
Presley Gerber's succeeded as a model, despite a questionable tattoo nearly causing issues
You might think that with Cindy Crawford as their mother, the model's celebrity kids might feel too intimidated to enter the modeling industry. After all, how do you live up to the reputation of someone as successful as Cindy? However, both of her children have shown an interest in being models, and that includes her son, Presley Gerber.
Presley has attracted plenty of positive reception since signing with DNA Model Management. However, one thing he didn't receive rave reviews for was his "misunderstood" face tattoo. Although Presley is no stranger to being inked, the tattoo caused controversy as some questioned if it would affect his modeling career. Gerber has seemingly since had the ink removed.
Kaia Gerber is thriving as a model and now has her sights set on acting
While Presley Gerber has definitely found success as a model, he's not the biggest standout of Cindy Crawford's grown-up celebrity kids. That honor goes to Kaia Gerber, who's already gone above and beyond with her modeling work. She's previously won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards and landed all of the Big Four Vogue covers.
Kaia is the first person born in the 21st century to achieve the latter, proving that she really is a star. With her career in this industry now assured, it seems as though Kaia is starting to venture into other areas too. In 2021, she appeared in the horror anthology shows 'American Horror Stories' and ‘American Horror Story: Double Feature.’
Zoë Kravitz has shown herself to be one of Hollywood's greatest talents
When Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet brought a child into the world in 1988, there was a feeling that the kid would grow up into a superstar. Over 30 years later, that's definitely the case. Zoë Kravitz is one of Hollywood's greatest talents at the moment, and she still has many more years to keep showing what she's got.
So far, she's appeared in the sci-fi action movie series 'Divergent,' the fantasy film series 'Fantastic Beasts' and the drama show 'Big Little Lies.' Another of her most recent roles was playing Catwoman in the superhero movie 'The Batman.' This was the same year that Time named her as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world.
EJ Johnson has cared more about being on TV than playing basketball like Magic Johnson
While most celebrity kids might end up doing the same careers as their parents, one place where that hasn't been the case is the Johnson family. Michael Johnson is known around the world as one of the greatest basketball players in history. However, his son Earvin Johnson III, or EJ, hasn't followed in his footsteps.
Instead, EJ is best known as a TV personality who has appeared on reality series like 'Rich Kids of Beverly Hills.' EJ has long stood out for having a more feminine and androgynous style, something that his family supports. They had his back when he revealed that he's part of the LGBTQ community and have continued to celebrate his uniqueness.
Rumer Willis has accomplished so much as an actress since growing up
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were another power couple when they were still together. Although many years have passed since they got divorced, the love they shared still lives on in their celebrity kids. The most famous of these is Rumer Willis, who was born in 1988. She's the eldest of the kids and easily the most successful.
Some of Rumer's roles include 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' the teen drama series '90210,' and the musical drama series' Empire.' She was also on the 20th season of 'Dancing with the Stars,' where she emerged as the winner. Willis has even stood out on the stage, too, with the actress playing Roxie Hart on Broadway in 2015.
Chet Hanx hasn't managed to match Tom Hanks’ clean-cut image in recent years
It's been a while since any of Tom Hanks' celebrity kids have been considered children. One of the actor's youngest is Chester Marlon Hanks, known professionally by the name of Chet Hanx. While people might still remember Chet as a kid attending games with his dad, the man is now in his 30s and a much more controversial figure.
Alongside acting roles in shows like Empire and the dramedy series 'Shameless,' Chet has established himself as a musician, most notably with the duo FTRZ. However, he's also attracted plenty of drama, from going to rehab to damaging a hotel to releasing merchandise a little too similar to certain extremist groups. It's quite a contrast from Tom Hanks' clean-cut image.
Billie Lourd has lived up to her mother and grandmother's incredible legacies
Billie Lourd was probably destined for greatness before she was even born. After all, with Carrie Fisher as her mother and Debbie Reynolds as her grandmother, how could she not grow up to become a huge success? Unfortunately, neither of those women is around anymore, having passed away within days of each other back in 2016.
Thankfully, Billie continues to keep their legacies alive with her own successful work as an actress. She's bagged roles in 'American Horror Story,' the black comedy slasher series 'Scream Queens,' and the third trilogy of the space opera film series 'Star Wars.' Billie made a lasting impression in each of those roles and all before turning 30.
Michael Gandolfini impressed playing a younger version of Tony Soprano
When you need someone to play the younger version of an iconic character, who do you turn to? The actor's kid is sometimes a good shout, and it certainly paid off with Michael Gandolfini. He was asked to portray Tony Soprano in the crime drama 'The Many Saints of Newark,' a character his dad previously made famous.
Unfortunately, James Gandolfini wasn't around to see his son ace his performance of his famous character, having passed away in 2013. However, we're sure he would be proud to know that Michael's acting career is now really starting to take off, with tons of projects already in the works. Not bad for someone who's only in his early 20s.
Sean Preston and Jayden James have a rocky relationship with Britney Spears right now
All eyes have been on Britney Spears' sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, for years. With the singer being in a conservatorship for much of their lives, there's naturally been a lot of interest in how she's raised the boys. Sadly, although Britney's now out of her conservatorship, her relationship with the boys doesn't seem too great.
The mom has reportedly accused her boys of being "hateful" and not spending time with her when they visit. The brothers didn't attend Spears' wedding to Sam Asghari and supposedly aren't happy about her exposing her body on social media. It doesn't help that the pair are teenagers, meaning the family is trying to navigate adolescence with everything else.
Suri Cruise reportedly sees little of Tom Cruise because of the Church of Scientology
Most celebrity kids whose parents are divorced still spend a lot of time with both their mom and dad. However, that's not always the case, with Suri Cruise being an excellent example of this. Reports suggest that she hardly ever sees her dad anymore, with his devotion to the Church of Scientology reportedly to blame for this.
Suri has been prominent in the public eye from a young age because of Tom's religion and the effect it had on his marriage to Katie Holmes. Still, it's hard to believe that she's now a teenager, one who will be looking to potentially attend college in a couple of years. We wonder what she'll choose to focus on.
Blue Ivy has already achieved so much in the first decade of her life
Compared to some of these other celebrity kids, Blue Ivy isn't quite as grown up. However, the first child of Beyoncé and Jay-Z is somehow now in double digits and repeatedly proving that she's already a superstar. That's basically been the case since the moment she was born and her voice was used for several of her parents' songs.
Despite her age, Blue Ivy is already a style icon and serves every single time she steps out in public. Whether she's at an NBA final or an awards show, all eyes are on her, and she knows it. It's only a matter of time before she becomes the new Queen B and takes over the world.
