THESE CELEBRITY KIDS ARE ALL GROWN UP AND SOME HAVE EVEN OUTDONE THEIR PARENTS!
Salma Hayek’s Daughter – Valentina Paloma Pinault
Famous actress and movie producer Salma Hayek had an eventful year in 2007. First, she was honored as executive producer when “Ugly Betty” won a Golden Globe Award. Then she also finalized negotiations with MGM to become CEO of her own film production company, “Ventanarosa.”
But we remember 2007 fondly because it was the year Hayek and her partner, Francois-Henri Pinault, gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault. Over the years, fans have had the chance to admire Valentina’s elegance and poise as she showed up alongside her mother at various events. If you’ve seen them together, it’s evident that these two are like peas in a pod.
Brad Pitt’s Daughter – Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt
Growing up, Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt’s photos often made it into the pages of celebrity news magazines. With A-listers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as her parents, the public was bound to be interested in her! Nothing much has changed over the years, it seems, except Zahara is now all grown up.
She even borrowed one of her “Eternals” star mom’s designer dresses when she attended a red carpet event in Los Angeles in 2021. It’s been a while since we saw her with her dad Brad though. The “Seven” actor has been in a custody battle for Zahara and her siblings since his 2016 split with Angelina.
George Clooney’s Son – Alexander Clooney
George Clooney may have joined the ‘Dad’ party relatively later than most. Still, no one could ever accuse him of slacking on the job. And fans only need to look at his relationship with his son, Alexander Clooney, to see how much of a doting father he is.
Alexander was born in 2017 with his twin sister, Ella. And the year he turned three, he made his unofficial debut when he Zoom-bombed his father’s online interview with GQ. Interestingly, that adorable exchange made its way into George’s GQ profile later that year. According to George, the twins could speak fluent Italian from as early as age three.
Cher’s Son – Chaz Bono
Chaz Bono is the older of music icon Cher’s two sons. Born to the “Believe” singer and her late husband Sonny Bono as Chastity in the late ’60s, he became known as Chaz later in life. Following in his parents’ footsteps, he embarked on a music career but eventually switched to acting.
Among his notable works is a recurring role on “American Horror Story” and a stint in the long-running soap opera “The Bold And The Beautiful.” In 2020, we saw him appear in an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and the comedy film “Reboot Camp.”
Sandra Bullock’s Son – Louis Bardo Bullock
Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock began building a family of her own when she decided to adopt her son Louis Bardo Bullock in 2010. Welcomed as an infant, he has grown so much since and has also become a big brother to a sister, Laila Bullock, who the “Miss Congeniality” star adopted in 2015.
While she keeps her children away from the spotlight, Sandra sometimes shares anecdotes about them with the media. She described Louis to InStyle as sensitive, kind, and wise. She is raising her kids with her longtime love Bryan Randall, a professional photographer, while she continues to work on films like “The Unforgivable” in 2021.
David Hasselhoff’s Daughter – Hayley Hasselhoff
Growing up in the shadow of a famous parent can be tough, but it looks like David Hasselhoff’s daughter Hayley Hasselhoff is handling things just fine. In fact, she’s even made a name for herself in the modeling world.
She made history as the first plus-size model to pose for the cover of a European edition of Playboy magazine in 2021. According to Page Six, she graced the cover of the German edition of the popular publication. That comes as no surprise as her “Baywatch” star dad is also popular in said country.
Courteney Cox’s Daughter – Coco Arquette
My, oh my, look how time has passed! Once just a child in the arms of her Courteney Cox at the Platinum Circle Awards red carpet, Coco Arquette is all grown up and looking just as stunning as her “Friends” star mother. We also see some of her father, David Arquette, in her, too!
Interestingly, Coco is now about the same dress size as her mom that in 2019, Cox passed down one of her gowns for her daughter to wear to a school dance. The mother-daughter duo also collaborated on a cover of the song “Unwritten” in 2021, performed at a benefit gala.
Eminem’s Daughter – Hailie Jade
Hailie Jade Mathers, or simply Hailie Jade as she’s known on social media, is the daughter of rapper Eminem and his ex-wife, Kimberly Anne Scott. Mentioned in several of the Grammy-winning musician’s songs, she has a close relationship with her famous father, as she told the Daily Mail.
Despite her dad’s fame, Hailie tends to keep a low profile. She graduated with a psychology degree in 2018 and sometimes shows glimpses of her life on social media. While Eminem doesn’t talk about his personal life often, he said that Hailie has made him a proud father during a 2020 episode of the “Hot Boxin” podcast.
Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Daughter – Bianca Bree
Bianca Bree, also known as Bianca Van Damme, is the daughter of ’90s action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme. She was born in 1990 as the second child of the “Double Impact” star and his then-wife Gladys Portugues. Growing up watching her father performing, she went on to become an actress, too.
Under different screen names, she’s appeared in films like “The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson” and “Welcome To The Jungle,” which also starred Jean-Claude. In 2020, she starred in the music video for the Shawn Hook song “Holding On To You.” Bianca also does some fitness modeling, according to her Instagram posts.
Angelina Jolie’s Daughter – Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Speaking of the Jolie-Pitts, let’s talk about another member of the family, Shiloh. Born in 2006, she’s Angelina Jolie’s second eldest daughter, and as the photo on the right shows, she looks like her carbon copy, too! Shiloh grew up in the spotlight with her five siblings and often accompanies Angelina to red carpet events.
In October 2021, she and her older sister Zahara wowed fans when they attended the Marvel film “Eternals” premiere at the Rome Film Festival. Once known for her androgynous style, Shiloh notably wore a black dress paired with sneakers for the event.
Julia Roberts’ Daughter – Hazel Moder
For the longest time, fans have only seen glimpses of Julia Roberts’ daughter Hazel Moder from the occasional paparazzi shots. So, people were pleasantly surprised when she made her red-carpet debut with her cinematographer father Danny Moder, at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021.
Hazel, who spends most of her time at the family ranch in New Mexico, kept things simple for the event, donning a yellow dress with a statement pair of Mary Janes. It’s undeniable, though, that she looks just like her “Pretty Woman” star mom during her heydays in the ’90s.
Anna Nicole Smith’s Daughter – Dannielynn Birkhead
It’s unfortunate that Anna Nicole Smith passed away just a year after the birth of her daughter Dannielynn Birkhead in 2006. Luckily, Dannielynn’s dad Larry Birkhead, who proved his paternity through a DNA test, stepped up to the plate to raise her.
Now all grown up and resembling her “The Anna Nicole Show” star mom, even more, Dannielynn is reportedly living with Larry in Kentucky, according to Distractify. In 2021, the father-daughter duo was even spotted at the state’s famous derby event, which they attend every year, looking happy and content in their matching blue outfits.
John Travolta’s Daughter – Ella Bleu Travolta
Now that she’s all grown up, Ella Bleu Travolta’s resemblance with her “Grease” star dad John Travolta has become all the more noticeable. From her piercing eyes to her dark hair color, she could be John’s twin! And it seems like the father-daughter duo is also pretty close with each other.
Ella, who John shared with his late wife Kelly Preston, often posts touching tributes for the “Pulp Fiction” actor on her Instagram page. In an October 2021 post that showed the pair during a “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance, she described him as her best friend and hero.
Kelly Ripa’s Daughter – Lola Consuelos
Once just an adorable kid on the way to watch a Broadway show with her mom Kelly Ripa, Lola Consuelos is now all grown up and making her way into the world. According to Elle, she went on to study music at the New York University, from which her older brother Michael Consuelos also graduated.
That said, Lola, whose dad is “All My Children” actor Mark Consuelos, has largely stayed away from the spotlight. She occasionally appears on Ripa’s “Live With Kelly and Ryan” show, where she shared an update about her life in 2020.
Tom Cruise’s Daughter – Suri Cruise
If you bought at least one celebrity news magazine in the mid-’00s, then you’ve probably seen a photo or two of a little Suri Cruise strolling with her movie star dad Tom Cruised, and mom Katie Holmes. And seeing her today, you’d be pleasantly surprised.
Suri is all grown up and appears to be almost as tall as her “Dawson’s Creek” star mother. A student at Manhattan’s Avenues, she’s often spotted out and about in New York City either with Holmes or her friends as she did in April 2021 when she celebrated her birthday.
Val Kilmer’s Son – Jack Kilmer
Although Jack Kilmer joined the family business when he pursued acting, it seems like he’s determined to veer away from the action genre, which his dad Val Kilmer is known for. The younger Kilmer made a name for himself starring in dramatic films like “Palo Alto” and “Josie.”
That doesn’t mean that he refuses to be associated with his “Top Gun” actor father, though. In 2021, Jack narrated a documentary called “Val,” chronicling the life and career of his dad. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was later released on Amazon Prime Video.
Tom Hanks’ Son – Colin Hanks
With their close resemblance and shared acting talents, Tom Hanks and his eldest child Colin Hanks are like two peas in a pod. Surprisingly though, the duo has rarely worked together on screen. Among their few collaborations is the 2008 film “The Great Buck Howard.”
Still, it can’t be denied that the “Forrest Gump” actor has made a lasting impression on Colin, who told Hollywood Life that his father once assured him that he’d have plenty of time to do the things he wants to do. And he’s been using his time well as he stars as real-life lawyer Mike Emmick in the 2021 TV series “Impeachment: American Crime Story.”
Salma Hayek’s Daughter – Valentina Paloma Pinault
Famous actress and movie producer Salma Hayek had an eventful year in 2007. First, she was honored as executive producer when “Ugly Betty” won a Golden Globe Award. Then she also finalized negotiations with MGM to become CEO of her own film production company, “Ventanarosa.”
But we remember 2007 fondly because it was the year Hayek and her partner, Francois-Henri Pinault, gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault. Over the years, fans have had the chance to admire Valentina’s elegance and poise as she showed up alongside her mother at various events. If you’ve seen them together, it’s evident that these two are like peas in a pod.
Adam Sandler’s Daughter – Sadie Sandler
There is no need to wonder whether Sadie Sandler is anything like her actor father, Adam Sandler. After all, she’s appeared in his films since she could crawl. And films like “Bedtime Stories,” “Hotel Transylvania,” “Pixels,” and “Murder Mystery” are proof of this fact.
But apart from her movie roles, the public doesn’t get to see a lot of Sadie. And her presence on social media is practically nonexistent. This is a good thing in a world where actual privacy can be challenging. Sadie’s partnership with her dad isn’t going anywhere as she appears in another of his productions, “Hubie Halloween.”
Kate Moss’s Daughter – Lila Grace Moss Hack
Three decades after she hit it big in the modeling scenes of the ’90s, it seems like Kate Moss is ready to pass on her crown. And who better to wear it next than her daughter, Lila Grace Moss Hack. Born to Kate and Dazed Media co-founder Jefferson Hack, Lila made her runway debut in 2020.
She’s been steadily rising since and wowed spectators in 2021 when she graced the catwalk of several luxury brands, including the Italian fashion house Fendi. As expected, Kate is (literally and figuratively) cheering on her only child from the front row.
Thomas Rhett’s Daughter – Ada James Akins
We see why country singer Thomas Rhett continues to garner adoring fans. Beyond his hit albums “Tangled Up” and “Life Changes,” he has his family with his wife Lauren Akins to be proud of. Together they share daughter Ada James Akins, who was born in 2017.
Ada is their second child and appears to be a daddy’s little girl already, looking at the images the “Die A Happy Man” singer has shared on Instagram. What’s even more impressive, though, is how Rhett manages to be a doting father all while producing albums like “Country Again: Side A,” which he released in 2021.
Lea Thompson’s Daughter – Zoey Deutch
Because of their different last names, you might not have put together that “Back To The Future” star Lea Thompson and “Set It Up” actress Zoey Deutch are related at first. Seeing the resemblance between their smiles would clue you in that they’re a mother-daughter duo for sure!
Thompson shares Zoey with her husband, film director Howard Deutch. That said, Zoey’s decision to pursue acting doesn’t come as a surprise at all. Her star has been on a steady rise, too, leading to projects like the streaming TV series “The Politician” and an invitation to the 2021 Met Gala.
Will Smith’s Daughter – Willow Smith
Another celebrity kid who’s making their parents proud is Will Smith’s daughter Willow Smith. Although she began her career as a child actress, she later switched to music and scored the hit “Whip My Hair” in 2010. A decade later and she’s still doing what she does best with the release of her album “Lately I Feel Everything” in 2021.
The same year also saw Will and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith attending their daughter’s live performance at The Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. Beyond that, the Smith family’s bond shines bright on the talk show “Red Table Talk,” which Willow and Jada host together.
