For many celebrities, Hollywood is a family business. Numerous Hollywood kids have tried their hands at following in the footsteps of their famous parents. Whether they're acting, singing, or modeling, it's good to be a "nepo baby." But who are these celebrity children? L'OFFICIEL is rounding up 32 Hollywood kids who are direct descendants of some of our favorite celebrities.  

Deva Cassel

 

The 19-year-old model and up-and-coming actress Deva Cassel is the nepo baby of European movie royalty Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel. She is also a runway regular for Dolce & Gabbana and Dior and is set to appear in the Netflix series The Leopard.

Not much is known about Matilda Ledger, the daughter of Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger. Born in 2005, Matilda was just two years old when her father died, and since then, her mother has been devoted to being the best parent she can be. When Williams spoke to Porter Magazine in 2016, she said she's a believer in "not fighting circumstances" and "accepting where you are and where you’ve been," in all but one unfortunate truth, which is "Matilda not having her dad."

“You know, that’s just something that doesn’t... I mean, it just won’t ever be right,” the My Week with Marilyn actress continued. 

Despite the loss of her father, Matilda is in good hands, as her godparents are Williams's Dawson's Creek co-star Busy Philipps and Ledger's Brokeback Mountain co-star Jake Gyllenhaal. Williams also told The New Yorker that her daughter is a film buff, so if Matilda decides to delve into film like her parents, she has more than enough connections. 

Tilly Ramsay

 

Matilda Ramsay, better known as Tilly Ramsay, is what one can call a culinary nepo baby. She is the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and cook book author Tana Ramsay. Her father may be the most famous chef on TV, as he's notorious for pushing aspiring chefs to their limits on Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and Master Chef, but Tilly Ramsey has also made a name for herself as a TV chef. The 22-year-old has her own BBC cooking show, Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, and appeared as a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef Australia. She has also made TV appearances alongside her father on The Late Late Show with James Corden and MasterChef Junior.

Emmeline Bale

Emmeline Bale, daughter of Christian Bale, has entered the "nepo baby" chat. While the 18-year-old has mostly flown under the radar, she is starting to emerge in the spotlight as she recently walked in a Dolce & Gabanna runway show. Gaining her father's love for Hollywood, Bale also has a couple of acting credits under her belt, best known for having an appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder.

Amelia Gray Hamlin

 

The New-York based model has strayed away from the reality TV world her parents, Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, threw her in as a child and has successfully created a career in fashion. In 2021, Hamlin briefly dated Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian's famous ex-boyfriend and father of her four children. Since then, Hamlin has slowly been making a name for herself in the modeling world, recently walking on the Chanel Fall/Winter 2023 Haute Couture runway

Zaya Wade

At 12 years old, Zaya came out as a trans girl and has since been admired as a young member of the LGBTQ+ community. Her first public appearance was at the 2020 Truth Awards alongside her father and stepmother Gabrielle Union. Now, she's setting her sights on fashion by attending major runway shows like Miu Miu.

While the 19-year-old has remained out of the spotlight for most of her young life (even her Instagram is private), could this be a sign of more to come? 

Aoki Lee Simmons

 

Daughter of Kimora Lee and Russel Simmons, Aoki Lee Simmons made her runway debut at just 18 months old when her mother Kimora took the final bow for her Baby Phat collection in 2004. As a kid, she made appearances in her mother's reality show Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane. A proud Harvard graduate, Aoki will be assisting her mother with the re-launch of the Baby Phat collection and plans to continue pursuing modeling.

Maya Hawke

 

Maya Hawke gained mass recognition for her breakout role as Robin in Netflix'Stranger Things. The actress seemingly popped out of nowhere and many were surprised to find out that Hawke is actually the child of a celebrity parent. Hawke is the daughter of writer, director, and actor Ethan Hawke and Pulp Fiction actress Uma Thurman. Given the acting talents of her parents, it's no surprise that Hawke has become one of social media's most beloved new actresses. 

Kaia Gerber

 

Model and actress Kaia Gerber has been named Model of the Year, starred in many campaigns and runway shows, and can be frequently spotted on the streets hand-in-hand with her celebrity boyfriend. As the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and former model and businessman Rande Gerber, Kaia is also a "nepo baby." But clearly, good looks definitely run in the family because at just 21 years old, Gerber has already made her own mark in the fashion industry.

Lily Rose Depp

Maude & Iris Apatow

 

Maude Apatow shook the acting scene with her role as Lexi in the hit show Euphoria. Fans quickly realized that not only did they recognize the actress herself but they also recognized her parents.

Aurélien Enthoven recently made his modeling debut at Versace Men's Spring/Summer 2023 show. Enthoven is the son of legendary model Carla Bruni and radio and television host Raphaël Enthoven. But, until now the nepo baby has remained relatively out of the spotlight. We cannot wait to see what's next for Enthoven as he follows in his mother's footsteps. 

Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet has been a Hollywood hearthrob since his breakout role in Call Me By Your NameThe actor is a fan favorite, starring in movies like Dune and Little Women and receiving multiple award nominations for his work.

Deacon Phillippe

 

Acting—"What, like it's hard?" Just like his mother Reese Witherspoon, who has been in countless iconic films like Legally Blonde, and his father Ryan Phillippe, Deacon is stepping into his new role: an actor. The 19-year-old, who has previously dabbled in music, even releasing singles "Long Run" and "Love For The Summer," appeared in Season 3 of Netflix's Never Have I Ever.

Willow & Jaden Smith

 

Willow and Jaden Smith have been in the singing industry from a young age. Who can forget Willow's 2011 hit "Whip My Hair" or Jaden's feature on "Never Say Never" with Justin Bieber? The celebrity siblings are notably the product of actress and talk show host Jada Pinkett Smith as well as actor Will Smith. For this celebrity pair, performing definitely runs in the family. 

Lourdes Leon

 

Lourdes Leon is one of the bigger nepo babies to make waves on social media. The 26-year-old has modeled for brands from Mugler to Calvin Klein and released an EP under the name Lolahol. However, many people don't know that Leon is also the daughter of iconic singer Madonna and actor Carlos Leon.

The model has amassed hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers with her unique style and exciting adventures.

The pair are the daughters of actor Sylvester Stallone and model Jennifer Flavin. The sisters can be found on their Youtube channel talking about their family life and have even brought in their celebrity parents for interviews. 

Billie Eilish

 

There has been much controversy regarding whether or not Billie Eilish can be classified as a nepo baby. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter is the daughter of actress and screenwriter Maggie Baird and actor Patrick O'Connell. The singer has certainly made a name for herself outside of her parents, but has continued on their performing path. 

Meadow Walker

 

Model Meadow Walker has done campaigns for Tiffany & Co, walked the runway for Alexander McQueen, and worked with Givenchy. The 24-year-old is also the daughter of actor Paul Walker. Walker has gained millions of followers for her modeling work and we can't help but wonder if this nepo baby will try out acting in the future. 

Ella Emhoff

 

Ella Emhoff's nepotism roots are different than many other Hollywood kids. Emhoff is the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, and since her stepmom's rise to the executive branch, Emhoff has made a splash as both a model and a fashion designer with her own handmade knitwear brand.

Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney
 

What do you get when your mom is a famous singer and your dad is a famous artist and film director? Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney, the daughter of Björk and Matthew Barney. But despite having famous parents, she's stepping out on her own. In fact, she made her modeling debut in Miu Miu's Fall/Winter 2022 jewelry campaign, alongside well-known names like actress Sydney Sweeney and former Victoria's Secret model Emily Ratajkowski. But she doesn't just model. She also acts. She starred in the 2022 film The Northman. All this is to say—be sure to keep this nepo baby on your radar. 

Leni Klum

 

Looks like nepo baby Leni Klum learned a thing or two from her supermodel mom Heidi Klum. At just 19, she has already walked the runway for esteemed fashion houses like Dolce & Gabbana, modeled for brands like Chopard and Fila, and is also a German Dior Beauty ambassador

Pax Jolie-Pitt

Or should we say “Embtto.” Despite being the child of superstar actor parents Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jolie-Pitt has decided to make a name for himself in the art world, hence the pseudonym. Since he has always maintained a low profile, this form of secrecy seems fitting for the 19-year-old. His works, which will make their debut at a gallery show in Tel Aviv, Israel, have been described as “abstract.” True to form, we don't have many details about his pieces yet, apart from the fact that they are definitely not NFTs.

Olivia Jade Giannulli 

 

Influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli began her career on Youtube in 2014 and has since amassed over a million followers. When Giannulli first gained popularity, fans were surprised to see a celebrity cameo in her videos. Giannulli is the daughter of Full House actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. Even though the Youtube star has been the subject of controversy in the past, she always has her nepo baby roots.
