23 Celebrity Kids As Famous as Their Parents
It’s hard to believe that all of today's favorite stars will one day be considered “throwbacks.” However, it’s encouraging to note that the future is in good hands — their children’s hands, to be exact. Though they didn't choose this life, the children of celebrities have their images splashed all over social media from essentially the moment they’re born. As such, we tend to develop a sentimentality over the decisions they make during their lifetimes. We watch as they celebrate birthdays, go on exotic vacations, and start kindergarten, making us feel like we’ve been along for the ride. Certainly, not all of these children will want to be famous as adults, but that doesn’t mean we can’t root them on in their future personal and professional triumphs. We don’t want to put too much pressure on these youngsters, but here’s your guide to what the potential stars of tomorrow are up to today.

They’re already wearing custom Karl Lagerfeld and having entire articles written about their Snapchat cameos — which typically break the internet. As the progeny of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, we can only imagine all the ways North and Saint will rule the world when they come of age because…well, they’re already dominating and not even in elementary school yet.

Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon were the couple of the late '90s. Although their marriage didn’t work out, they gave the world two precious gifts: Ava and Deacon. The Phillippe kids look like mini versions of their parents, though we’re guessing they weren’t raised with any cruel intentions. In fact, Ava looks like Reese’s twin.

A seasoned veteran in the celeb baby game, Blue Ivy is already 4 years old! It’s hard to believe the toddling Carter will soon be headed to kindergarten, but it’s only a matter of time until she takes over the whole “running the world” business from her mom. As if she could do anything less.

Mason, Penelope, and Reign are definitely some of the cutest celeb offspring in the game. With parents like Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, it’s easy to see how they became so well-dressed and adorable. We’re guessing one of them will follow in Aunt Kendall’s footsteps and pursue a career in fashion.

Their names might be a bit quirky, but the Martin kids are undeniably adorable. They sing on stage with their dad and his band (y'know, just Coldplay) and frequently light up their mom's Instagram. Essentially, these two are future famous people in the making — and we can’t wait to see if they take up acting like their mom, or making music like their dad.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend may be new parents, but that doesn’t stop us from feeling the love on their Instagram accounts. Baby Luna is only a few weeks old, but is she inherits half the wit her mom has, she’ll be set for life.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are notoriously private when it comes to photos of their children, so this image of the two of them together will have to do. But in a perfect world, every time Esmeralda Gosling takes a nap, Ryan wakes her up by softly whispering, “Hey girl” into her crib. Does she even know that her father is the face of a feminist meme movement?! Hopefully her talented mom can break it down for her — and her baby sister! — when they're older.

Can you imagine having Mila Kunis as your mom and Ashton Kutcher as your dad? Would you just stare into their beautiful faces all day and laugh because you felt so lucky? OK, who knows how baby Wyatt feels about it, but she won’t be alone for long—mama Mila is pregnant with baby number two.

You know his mom Lucy Liu from her stint kicking ass and taking names in Charlie’s Angels. You might not be familiar with her new role as a mom to baby Rockwell. Spoiler alert: her son is cute as can be and hopefully inherited her ability to beat up bad guys.

The Cannon twins are already living the dream. They hang out on yachts, take trips abroad, and get to hang out with queen Mariah Carey on the regular. Because, well, she’s their mom. Did we mention the curly-haired kiddos also DJ from time to time with their dad, Nick Cannon? Talk about #goals.

With a famous basketball player for a dad, it’s no wonder Riley and baby sister Ryan Curry were basically destined to be ballers. Riley hasn’t launched her own basketball career yet (look out, WNBA), but she does dominate the post-game press conference like a seasoned player of the sport.
12/16James Knight and Leo Thames Newman
If being the sons of actress Jamie King wasn’t enough, Leo’s godmother is Taylor Swift. Impossibly cool. She must give the best birthday presents, like, ever.
FilmMagic13/16Coco Arquette
Not many 12-year-olds have songs written about them, and then get to star in the music video that follows — but Coco Arquette does. The folk rocker Foy Vance penned a tune about the only child of Courtney Cox and David Arquette and it’s not hard to see why. Coco always seems to be smiling when she’s snapped with her famed parents, and happiness is inspiring to everyone. Although the song “Coco” might be catchy, we’re not sure it has as much staying power as the Friends theme song.
14/16Silas Timberlake
We’re guess that when Silas is in middle school, his house will be the most-sought after for sleepovers. With Justin Timberlake as your father and Jessica Biel as your mom, his pad has to ooze cool.
WireImage15/16Prince George of Cambridge
Arguably the most intriguing famous kid OF ALL TIME because he’s not only a celebrity, but a royal to boot. From greeting President Obama while wearing his robe to dishing up precious life advice to little sister Charlotte, we can’t wait to see all that Prince George will go on to accomplish—and here’s to hoping he inherited some of Kate Middleton’s style, too.
