82 celebs you didn't know are nepo babies
You know Hailey Baldwin Bieber and Emma Roberts — but some of these OGs of nepotism will *shock* you.
By 
Ah, nepo babies. What are they? Celebrities born into fame or with famous families. Where do they exist? Everywhere. Would you wanna be one? Don't even lie — if you could become an overnight sensation because of your family alone, you would. And so would I, so no judgement here. But alas, most of us don't have Hollywood Walk of Famers or Academy Award winners as parents. So we're left following the Jenners and Hadids of the world on Instagram, wishing we could swap out even just our siblings for more famous ones. (JK, but like...not really...?)
Be warned: Once you realise nepo babies kinda take up ALL of Hollywood, you won't be able to unsee it. Seriously — it's as if every actor, singer, or model in the past century has had some connection that set them up for success. (To be fair, a lot of them are talented in their own right...but they're nepo babies nonetheless!)
So take a deep breath, prepare yourself for some shocking information, and read on for a comprehensive list of every single nepo baby I could possibly think of (it was an act of love).
Nicole (reality star, fashion designer) and Sofia Richie (model)
When your career's so bright (thanks to your dad, singer and general legend Lionel Richie) you have to wear shades.
Emma Roberts (actress)
Like aunt, like niece. You can't mistake that Roberts family smile - Julia is Emma's auntie.
Nicolas Cage (actor and producer)
As if we needed more proof that Nic Cage is a time-traveling vampire (it's a real theory people, look it up!!!), here's a pic of him looking like an actual clone of his father, August Coppola. You know, the brother of Godfather director Francis Ford and uncle of Sofia?!
Sofia Coppola (actress and filmmaker)
Wait, maybe I wasn't clear enough: Sofia Coppola and Nicolas Cage are cousins. Excuse me, what?? 🤯
Timothée Chalamet (actor)
It's true: Timothée is a nepo bébé. His mother, Nicole Flender, was a Broadway actress and dancer. But it goes even deeper: His uncle directed episodes of Dawson's Creek, Gilmore Girls, and The O.C., while his writer-producer aunt has worked on hits like L.A. Law, In Treatment, and Masters of Sex.
Lily-Rose Depp (actress and model)
Having Jack Sparrow as a dad? Check. Having stunning French singer Vanessa Paradis as a mum? Also check.
Sailor Brinkley Cook (model)
It doesn't get much better than having Christie Brinkley as your mum.
Kaia Gerber (model)
Oh wait, it might. Cindy Crawford?!? It's just not fair for the rest of us.
George Clooney (actor, producer, director, all the things)
Long story short, his dad is famous anchorman Nick Clooney and his aunt is Old Hollywood star Rosemary Clooney. I feel like there's an idea for an Anchorman spinoff starring George in here somewhere...
Zoë Kravitz (actress)
Singer Lenny Kravitz and actor Lisa Bonet, who shot to fame as Denise Huxtable on the sitcom The Cosby Show are her parents.
Jennifer Aniston (actress and producer)
She must've gotten her dramatic Rachel Green hair flips from her Days of Our Lives star father, John Aniston.
Matt Healy (singer)
That's right, The 1975 fans — Matt Healy was born into fame. His mum is an actress and panelist on Loose Women, Denise Welch.
Brandon Thomas Lee (actor and reality star)
You know, the old Pamela Anderson's son-turned-The Hills star pipeline.
Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, and Wyatt Russell (actors)
The fact that there isn't a Kardashian-style reality show starring this entire family is simply a crime. Actor Goldie Hawn is Kris Jenner material, I can feel it!! And she's Kate Hudson's mum.
Gracie Abrams (singer-songwriter)
How have I never realised that Star Wars director JJ Abrams and singer Gracie Abrams are father and daughter?! Consider my mind blown.
Hailey Bieber (model)
Mrs. Biebs comes from a long line of famous Baldwins...but it's clear she got her famous "I don't care about anything that's happening around me" stare from her dad, Stephen.
All of the Kar-Jenners (all the things)
With Kris Jenner taking charge of your career, the sky's the limit. And that sky is literally made of dollar bills and pure gold.
Gigi and Bella Hadid (models)
At least we know where they got their model looks from (their model mum, Yolanda Hadid), who is also a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Lourdes Leon (model)
We get it, you're hot and Madonna's your mum, okay?
Ava (model) and Deacon (actor) Phillippe
Are we sure Ava isn't just a hologram of mum Reese Witherspoon from 20 years ago?
