Her fearless creativity and unapologetic vibe make her one of the most interesting young talents emerging today. She is definitely one to watch!
Barron Trump, 18 – Student
Barron Trump might catch your eye initially because of his famous parents, Donald and Melania Trump, but he’s carving out his own path. While his dad was busy in the Oval Office and his mom was taking on First Lady duties, Barron was growing up right before our eyes.

Now a teenager standing at an impressive 6-foot-7, he’s more than just the tall, silent type in the background. He’s a student navigating life under a magnifying glass, growing into his own personality and interests. We’re watching to see what is next for him as he steps out from the towering shadows of his parents.
Ashley Biden, 43 – Social Worker and Activist
Ashley Biden isn’t just the youngest daughter of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden; she’s a force in activism and style.

She once led the Delaware Center for Justice, where she was a fierce advocate for criminal justice reform.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopted three children internationally to go with the three they had biologically. Zahara was the one adopted from an orphanage in Ethiopia in 2005. The multicultural family may be broken apart, but Zahara still enjoys the spoils of a Hollywood upbringing. For starters, she already has some acting experience in the form of a small role in the film Maleficent and has also done voice work. Jolie has been quick to shoot down any chance of her kids getting into acting, although with Zahara’s start, that could change. Jolie is set to star as Thena in the upcoming Marvel film Eternals.
Suri Cruise, 12 – Fashionista

Suri Cruise is the daughter of former couple Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Suri is now entering her teens and is known for having a wicked fashion sense. We won’t be surprised if she becomes a fashion designer someday, but for now, she is just enjoying her young age with her mom.
Ella & Alexander Clooney, 4 – Just Kids

At the age of four, the lovable twins Ella and Alexander Clooney are still getting ready to attend junior kindergarten. Right now, they’re probably still not aware of how famous their parents are, even though George Clooney and the lawyer Amal Clooney make for one of the world’s most recognizable celebrity couples. Daddy Clooney, who’s working on the upcoming movie Ticket to Paradise, has talked about the hardships of taking care of two baby twins in a People magazine interview.

Even after she divorced James, she proceeded with the adoption as a single parent. Bullock is set to star in an upcoming film called Lost City Of D.
Hazel Moder, 16 – Student/Actress

Remember Hazel Moder, the daughter of Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder? Well, she’s all grown-up now, and she’s looking like a stunning 16-year-old! Despite having two famous parents, Moder has been living a very discreet and private life, and she’s believed to be a student at the moment. Moder’s moment of fame came in 2016 when she appeared alongside her twin brother on Mother’s Day, starring her mom as well as the likes of Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston. So far, though, this has been her only acting credit. In 2021, it was reported that Roberts was trying to get her kids into Sydney’s North Shore Catholic school.
Chaz Bono, 49 – LGBT Activist & Actor

Chaz Bono is different from the little kid we used to see with parents Sonny Bono and Cher because he is now a transgender person.

Sistine Stallone, 19 – Model

Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin have a stunning daughter named Sistine Stallone. Sistine grew up with a normal life and her parents have made sure to keep her away from the spotlight.

Dylan Brosnan, 21 – Model & Musician

Dylan Brosnan is Pierce Brosnan’s good-looking son who is a man of many talents. Aside from booking modeling gigs, he is also pursuing music and is a part of a band named, Raspberry Blonde.

Ella Bleu Travolta, 18 – Actress

Ella Bleu Travolta is the daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Ella is already starting to add credits to her acting portfolio because she is set to appear in the upcoming movie entitled Gotti. It’s about time she starts being financially independent because it seems like her parents have gotten her accustomed to a life of affluence as she was growing up.
Paris Jackson, 22 – Model & Actress

It is often said that a father is a daughter’s first love, and the fact may have been beyond accurate for Michael Jackson, who only had one daughter. Paris Jackson is not the kid many of us remember anymore, but rather a 22-year-old smoking hot model. She is currently signed with IMG Models and has worked for Rolling Stone magazine. Paris is also an actress, whose most prominent work up to date was on Gringo and Scream. The King of Pop missed seeing his children grow up, but he’d certainly be proud.

At first glance, it is highly likely that you’d think that the woman in this photo is actress Lisa Bonet. If you did, then you can’t be more wrong because that is, in fact, her daughter, Zoë Kravitz. She is the only child Bonet shares with her ex-husband and singer, Lenny Kravitz. Zoë is currently 31 years old, happily married, and a successful actress. With great genes inherited from her mother, Zoë didn’t hesitate to get into the same occupation as Bonet.

Klum recently revealed that Leni, as the child is known, may be interested in entering the modeling world.

John Owen Lowe, 23 – Actor

John Owen Lowe is Rob Lowe and Sheryl Berkoff’s son who used to be his father’s plus one to red carpet events but now, he is already pursuing the same career as that of his father. He continues to build his acting portfolio but some of you might have seen him already in shows like The Grinder and A Canine Affair.
Lourdes Leon, 21 – Model

A lot of people say that Lourdes Leon looks exactly like her mother, Madonna. We’re not sure if she has the same singing talent as her mother but for now, she is using her beauty to her advantage and is pursuing a career as a model. She recently gained so many praises for her campaign with Converse.
Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff, 28 – Actress

A lot of you might know who Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff is because her family had their very own reality show. She is the daughter of Baywatch star, David Hasselhoff.

Jane chooses to live a more private life these days but we already saw her auditioning for the show, American Idol. She gave birth to a son back in 2010 and is currently raising him as a single mother. We’re sure her father is always there to help out if ever she’d face money problems.
Jackson Theron, 8 – Student
Charlize Theron lived all her life knowing that one day she would adopt children rather than giving birth. She only went ahead and did it, however, in 2012. That was when she adopted the almost one-year-old Jackson. In 2019, Charlize told everyone that Jackson is a transgender girl

Despite some backlash that she had to face after her reveal, Charlize never backed down from letting her child grow up the way she wants to. In 2019 Charlize played in the critically-acclaimed Bombshell movie and is now going to be acting and producing The Old Guard film.

Alana Nicholson is the daughter of acclaimed actor Jack Nicholson with former partner Rebecca Broussard.

But she doesn’t earn money only for her work in front of the camera for she is also trying her hand at directing.
James Redford, 58 – Film Director

You know you’re getting old when you learn that Robert Redford is now 83 years old, and his only son is 58. Probably after watching Robert ace his characters on the screens, James decided to take a similar career path. He is a director, producer, and screenwriter, who has got 12 credits under his name. Many of his works are documentaries like California Typewriter and Wartime. It’s not much, but it’s still impressive considering he is also the co-founder and chairman of The Redford Center, which is an environmentally-focused storytelling not-for-profit organization.
Rachael Krueger, 30 – Costume Designer & Hairstylist

You don’t need a DNA test to confirm that Rachael Krueger is related to Marie Osmond, because, look at them! The mother-daughter duo shares naturally beautiful features. Rachael is now a 30-year-old woman who has been married to Gabriel Krueger since Christmas day 2012. She is also the mother of a 4-year-old girl, which makes Marie Osmond a grandma (a gorgeous one). According to Closer Weekly, Rachael used to be a costume designer, who’d created the perfect outfits for her mother’s and uncle’s shows. However, she has now gone from fashioning clothes to styling hair.
Valentina Paloma Pinault, 12 – Child Icon

Being the only child of the foxy actress Salma Hayek and the French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault can’t be frustrating. Valentina Paloma Pinault is proving to be a little diva at her current age of 12. From effortlessly rocking Gucci to doing the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week to running her a slime business at school (future businesswoman alert) to doing humanitarian work—can you think of a single child defined as such? According to Hayek’s Instagram, little Valentina supposedly has a passion for cutting hair. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.
Gemma Rose Davis, 8 – Momma’s Girl

Kristin Davis was able to overcome her excessive drinking without going to alcohol rehab. Once she had her life intact, she decided to adopt a daughter named Gemma Rose who is around eight years old already. These days, she is busy raising Gemma and we’re sure that Kristin is the kind of mother who would just be behind her daughter once she starts to pursue her dreams when she grows up.
Tracy French, Undisclosed Age – Actress & Producer

Her dad passed away at the age of 54; however, his work is still remembered. He is now survived both through his projects, like the infamous Little House on the Prairie and through his children. Tracy French even tried out acting herself briefly, playing a small role in the Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? series of the late ‘00s. She went on to be an executive producer on the Free Throw documentary in 2012. On top of sharing similar interests with her dad, she also has the same curly hair and good looks!
Hannah Lynch – Aspiring Writer

Her mother has been part of the Real Housewives of New York cast since 2015. It was at around that time when we first got acquainted with Hannah Lynch. She is 26 years old right now and aspiring to become a writer. Dorinda Medley had Hannah with her ex, Ralph Lynch. Growing up, Hannah attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, an all-girls school on the Upper East Side, and later, Columbia University. She takes after her mother in more ways than just good looks, as Hannah herself is also incredibly outspoken.
Sofia Richie, 19 – Model

Sofia Richie is Lionel Richie’s adoptive daughter. Barely in her 20s, Sofia has been able to earn a big fortune in her savings account through working as a model. She has also become quite the socialite ever since she started dating Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick. Let’s just hope his alcoholic tendencies don’t rub off on her.
Casie Colson Baker, 11 – Student
We have been getting to know Machine Gun Kelly’s only daughter named Casie, primarily through his Instagram account. He had her with Emma Cannon back in 2009, and now that she’s 11 years old, she looks more and more like her famous father! When he had her, MGK hadn’t even released his first album yet!

Today, as he has only just released his fifth one, Tickets to My Downfall, he’s been finding incredible amounts of success. His Bloody Valentine video clip even granted him a VMA! He is now in a relationship with Megan Fox. Meanwhile, his daughter seems to be sharing the same charisma!
Draco Verta, 10 – Student
Just by taking a look at the ten-year-old Draco Verta, we can easily tell that he’s Danica McKellar’s son as he looks just like her! Although we do not know if he shares her mom’s love for math, he’s undoubtedly developed an interest in it, as he has even taken part in his mother’s Math Bites series.

Danica had Draco with her ex, Mike Verta, in 2010, just a year after they had tied the knot. Draco has been in many of his mother’s TV projects, and the last time we saw him was at the Christmas at the Grand Valley film of 2018.
Lily Collins, 31 – Actress

Much like her dad, Phil, Lily Collins was born in the U.K. She moved to the States with her family at a young age, and ever since then, she’s been surrounded by cameras. Today, Lily’s finished studying journalism, a thing she loved since she was a teenager when she was writing for Teen Vogue. She has also received praise as an actress; in fact, just within 2020, she’s all set to play in the movies called Inheritance, Mank, and the Emily in Paris series. Meanwhile, her dad has The Last Domino? Tour scheduled for late 2020.
Will Reeve, 25 – Sports Journalist

At a young age, Will Reeve lost his parents, Superman star Christopher Reeve, and Dana Reeve, but the inheritance he got still made him live a comfortable life. Will has always been into sports and once he finished his studies, he started working for ESPN’s SportsCenter as a contributor and journalist.
Ben Stiller, 54 – Actor & Producer

Now that he’s older, the similarities between Ben Stiller and his father Jerry are even more visible than before. Ben might have been born into a famous family, but he didn’t rest on their success. There’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know who Ben Stiller is today. Films like Zoolander and Tropic Thunder characterize his career. He’s also been finding a lot of success as a producer recently. For 2020 he’ll be producing Dinner in America and Friendsgiving. He lost his mother, Anne Meara, in 2015, but thankfully his father is alive and well at the age of 92.
Delilah Belle Hamlin, 19 – Model

Delilah Belle Hamlin is the daughter of actors Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin. She is a model who is signed to Elite Model Management and has worked for big brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce & Gabbana. It’s likely that working at a young age lets her to freely go shopping without much help from her parents.
Coco Arquette, 13 – Student

Coco Arquette is the daughter of Friends star Courteney Cox with ex-hubby David Arquette. Coco is still a student but she might end up like her parents someday because as early as now, she’s been acting in her school plays. Hopefully, she doesn’t turn out like her father who ended up in alcohol rehab.
Bella Hadid, 21 – Model

You would likely know who Bella Hadid is because she is one of the most in-demand names in the modeling industry today. In her early 20s, she already has millions in the bank. Back in 2014, Bella faced a DUI which suspended her driver’s license for a whole year. She also had to attend Alcoholic Anonymous meetings to get her off the hook. We guess that it still beats having a stint at an inpatient alcohol rehab!
Ava Sambora, 20 – Actress & Model

Ava Sambora is the daughter of Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora. She puts her beauty to good use for she is pursuing a career in modeling and acting. She is known for the roles she had in films like This Is 40, Mommy Be Mine, and the series, Fresh Off the Boat. We do hope, for her sake, that she wouldn’t fall prey to vices like her mother once did or else, she might land a stay at an alcohol and drug rehab center, which would be a pity.
Sosie Bacon, 26 – Actress

Sosie Bacon is the daughter of married couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Even if Sosie has pursued acting at a young age, she still knew how important her studies were and she was later able to study at the prestigious Brown University. These days, she continues to earn money through her work as an actress and a lot of you might know her for her appearance in 13 Reasons Why.
Dominik Cristina Garcia-Lorido, 34 – Actress

Dominik Cristina Garcia has been in the Hollywood radar ever since she was a child because she’s the daughter of actor Andy Garcia with Marivi Lorido. She had a busy acting career during the 2000s for she bagged roles in movies like The Lost City and City Island. She’s not that active anymore these days but we guess that she’s been able to refinance herself through other income-earning pursuits.
Hayley Hasselhoff, 25 – Actress & Model

Hayley Hasselhoff is the daughter of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff with Pamela Bach. Hayley is an established plus-sized model who also has done some acting in the past. Aside from her family’s reality show, she is known for her role as Amber in the show, Huge. The last time we saw her on screen was in 2017 when she appeared in Fear Factor.
Colin Hanks, 40 – Actor

Colin Hanks sure looks like a younger version of his father, Tom Hanks. He’s also opted to get into acting like his father and is known for his portrayals in The House Bunny, Fargo, and Life In Pieces. Colin is currently married to Samantha Bryant who is a New York publicist and the couple has two daughters. With his fruitful career and growing fortune, we wouldn’t be surprised if Colin had already considered making stock investments on the side.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., 7 – Young Model

Renowned pro-footballer Cristiano Ronaldo must have updated any life insurance policy he might have had when he had his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., whose mother’s identity has been kept a secret. The young boy has already modeled for his father’s clothing line so he will either pursue modeling in the future or become a soccer star like his father. Well, we won’t be surprised if he becomes both actually…
Oscar Maximilian Jackman, 18 – Private Life

Oscar Maximillian Jackman is the adoptive son of actor Hugh Jackman with wife Deborra-Lee Furness. Ever since he was a young boy, he has always loved spending time with his father whenever he has free time. Hugh is still far from cashing in on his retirement investment, so maybe there’s a chance that we can see him and his son in one movie in the future.
