Celebrity families are making headlines as new generations step into the spotlight and grapple with the privileges and pressures of sharing their well-known parents’ names. The Backstreet Boys, all now proud dads, share adorable family updates and watch some of their kids, like Brian Littrell‘s son Baylee, chase their own music dreams. Meanwhile, icons like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson are also proud parents and their children have grown up navigating fame.
Some celebrity offspring, however, are choosing quieter paths, with stars like Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise’s kids opting for ordinary careers away from Hollywood’s glitz. All the while, the debate over nepotism heats up, as famous kids like Maude Apatow, Lily-Rose Depp and Phoebe Gates open up about the double-edged sword of legacy, sharing how family connections have shaped — and sometimes challenged — their professional journeys.
