THESE CELEBRITY KIDS ARE ALL GROWN UP AND SOME HAVE EVEN OUTDONE THEIR PARENTS!
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.
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.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son – Joseph Baena
Although he may not share his father’s famous last name, Joseph Baena is, without a doubt, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son. The father-son duo shares a passion for keeping fit and bond with each other by hitting the gym based on Baena’s Instagram posts.
Joseph, born to Schwarzenegger and Mildred Baena, doesn’t seem to have plans to follow in his “Terminator” actor dad’s footsteps into acting, though. In a May 2021 post, he proudly shared that he started a career as a realtor based in the western area of Los Angeles and Silicon Beach.
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.
Hoda Kotb’s Daughter – Haley Joy Kotb
As a respected broadcaster and the co-anchor of “Today,” Hoda Kotb typically presents her professional side on the job. But at home, it seems like she’s a whole different person as she dotes on her two daughters: Haley Joy Kotb and Hope Catherine Kotb.
She first became a mother when she adopted Haley Joy in 2017. Speaking in an October 2021 episode of the “Me Becoming Mom” podcast, she said she felt like Haley Joy was hers from the first time she ever held her in her arms. Hoda is raising the girls with her longtime partner Joel Schiffman, who proposed to her with a $250k engagement ring in 2019.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Cindy Crawford’s Daughter – Kaia Gerber
Looking at Kaia Gerber, it’s pretty clear that her mom Cindy Crawford passed on her good looks and towering height to her! And Gerber is now banking on those traits as she follows in Crawford’s footsteps. She notably made her runway debut walking for the designer brand Calvin Klein in 2017 and has been unstoppable since.
Kaia has landed numerous magazine covers, including international versions of Vogue. You might have also seen her campaign for Omega, which also featured Crawford. She’s also made a foray into acting with a recurring role in the tenth season of “American Horror Story” in 2021.
Heidi Klum’s Daughter – Lou Sulola Samuel
The youngest of “Project Runway” star Heidi Klum’s children with her ex-husband Seal, Lou Sulola Samuel was born to the celebrity couple in 2009. Over the years, she was often spotted out and about with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model. So, it’s no surprise seeing her all grown up.
Lou tends to stay away from the spotlight, though and only appears on Klum’s Instagram page from time to time. In October 2021, the “America’s Got Talent” judge posted a touching birthday tribute for Lou along with throwback photos of her as an infant.
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.
