2024 Was the Year We Realized These Celebrity Kids Grew Up: Violet Affleck, the Jolie-Pitts and More

It’s official: 2024 was the year when a lot of people realized celebrity kids were no longer, well, kids.

From the Jolie-Pitt brood to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s eldest daughter, Violet Affleck, and Kate Hudson’s son Ryder Robinson, the celebrity babies of yesteryear are now full-blown young adults making names for themselves.

Take Suri Cruise: the 18-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise graduated high school in June. She is now reportedly attending Carnegie Mellon University.

“I’m proud of my daughter,” Holmes, 46, told Town & Country magazine in August of being an empty nester. “Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.”

For her birthday on December 18, Holmes shared a photo of a bouquet of purple roses seemingly sent to her by Suri. “I am so grateful for all of my blessings 💕especially my daughter 🌷,” the actress shared via Instagram Stories.
