When both your parents are blessed with stunning looks and natural charisma then you are blessed from birth. When your parents also have a glittering Hollywood career and unlimited cash funds then you really have won the lottery of life. Celebrity babies not only get ahead in life because of their family name but quite often they have a winning set of genes too.
These kids have flashbulbs going off in their direction from the second they are carried out the hospital doors. Fans just can't get enough and grab at adorable pictures of them which is why they are worth big bucks. The most lucrative deal to date came was when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt sold pictures of their eldest biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel to People magazine. The sum was reportedly $4.1 million which they donated to charity.
These following celebrity babies really did come out as winners in the DNA-game. Here are the couples who got together and made some of the world's most beautiful babies.
18 Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom first started dating in 2007. Disaster struck in 2009, when they were the victims of the Bling Ring who were a group that broke into luxury homes. They targeted Bloom's house specifically to get their hands on Kerr's Victoria's Secret lingerie from her time modelling with them.
They married in 2010 and a month later their gorgeous son, Flynn, was born. Three years later, they announced that they were divorcing and intended to live separately. They both remain close and even live on the same street in their own homes. Kerr told the Daily Mail newspaper, "Orlando and I are so close – at four this morning, when I was jet-lagged, I was, like, “OK, does Flynn want to FaceTime?” and Orlando replied, “Of course!” So then I spoke to my son while he was taking a bath in LA."
17 Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Not a day goes by without new reports appearing that Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian are splitting up. It is beginning to feel as if their relationship is just one long breakup. The reality television stars have been together since 2006 when they first appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Since then, they have had numerous trial separations, aggressive fights and bitter exchanges. Luckily one thing that worked out for the best was having three beautiful children together.
Five-year-old Mason, three-year-old Penelope and newborn Reign all live in Los Angeles with their mother, most of the time. Scott is always in big trouble for his outrageous flirting and party-boy lifestyle. Despite Kourtney's attempts to try and calm Scott down it looks like he's just not cut out for a quiet life.
16 Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale
Last month, singer Gwen Stefani filed for divorce. She had been married to her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale for thirteen years. The pair have three young sons together; nine-year-old Kingston, six-year-old Zuma and 17-month-old Apollo. Their joint statement which was made public online read: While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment."
There is no prenup for the pair as they always believed it would be forever. Rossdale is now entitled to a huge chunk of Stefani's $120 million fortune. Although the couple cited irreconcilable differences as a reason behind their split, the rumour mill has been going crazy with accusations of Rossdale cheating which could turn this into one messy divorce.
15 Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge
When royalty is born in the UK the world goes wild. Prince George and his four-month-old sister, Princess Charlotte, bring in an estimated $5.3 billion to the British economy. Prince George has only just started walking and Princess Charlotte can't even sit upright but together they can make brands a fortune.
According to Brand Finance, as soon as the Prince and Princess are photographed with a product they instantly boost sales worldwide. The Silver Cross pram that took the Princess to her christening sold out overnight. Prams With Pizazz told the Daily Express newspaper they were "inundated" with calls about the stroller.
14 Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban met in 2005 then married the next year. Kidman is an award winning actress who has to travel worldwide for movie shoots and Urban also has commitments to world tours. To keep up with all the international travel they added homes in Sydney, Los Angeles, Nashville and London to their property portfolio.
Their first daughter, Sunday, was born in 2008 followed by second daughter, Faith, who was born in 2010 after they opted for surrogacy. Kidman has two adopted children with Tom Cruise from their previous marriage. She was unsure if she was able to have biological children but told Parade magazine that she now feels blessed. The 48-year-old said of her daughter Sunday, "I cry even thinking of her. But they are tears of joy. Because I suppose I never thought I would get to have it."
13 Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
Jessica Alba and film producer husband Cash Warren have two daughters, Honor and Haven, together. When they were first born Alba started her own business selling eco-friendly items for the home under the name Honest. Alba as co-founder owns around 20% of the firm which is valued at an estimated $1 billion.
Alba told Business Insider earlier this year, "Seven years ago, when I was pregnant with my first daughter, I was frustrated by the lack of healthy and safe product options for me and my new family. I started The Honest Company to develop safe and effective products not just for my children, but for families everywhere." No wonder we don't see her on screen that much nowadays - she's making millionaires as a Momtrepreneur.
12 Nicole Richie and Joel Madden
Nicole Richie burst onto the showbiz scene alongside ex-BFF, Paris Hilton, in 2003. The pair are no longer on speaking terms. Hilton herself told People magazine, "It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it." Although it hasn't been confirmed, it is widely believed that Nicole showed one of Paris' personal sex tapes to their friends.
Nicole no longer spends her evenings partying in Hollywood clubs with socialites. Instead, she is a doting mother to her two children, Harlow and Sparrow. Her and husband Joel Madden, lead singer of rock band Good Charlotte, sold the first photos of their daughter to People magazine for $1 million. Not a bad price for a first photo shoot.
11 Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault
Salma Hayek married French billionaire, François-Henri Pinault, in 2009. The pair had a beautiful daughter together, Valentina. Despite the family having access to unlimited funds they still have troubles. Only last week, two women were given a restraining order and a warning to stay away from the actress. They were accused of impersonating the Frida actress and also conspired to kidnap Valentina.
USA Today reported, "This case arose out of a bizarre pattern of behavior by two apparently mentally disturbed individuals. Their actions include, among others, concocting ruses to meet Hayek’s family members to obtain Hayek’s contact information, impersonating Hayek to another celebrity, attempting to directly contact Hayek herself, and impersonating Hayek in contacting Hayek’s child." Scary stuff considering their daughter is only seven-years-old.
10 Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
At just nine-years-old, Suri Cruise has had quite the life. Her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes apparently divorced over strict rules set by the Church of Scientology. Holmes reportedly went through turmoil trying to extricate her daughter from the controversial religion and attempted to give her a normal upbringing instead.
Holmes told US magazine that since the divorce she tries to keep Suri grounded by constantly praising her. The Batman Begins star said, "The most important thing for me is letting her know how proud I am and her accomplishments mean everything. Whatever I do is whatever. It's really just about her. That's what I think is most important."
9 Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves
Matthew McConaughey must have felt like the luckiest man in the world when he met and fell in love with Brazilian model and presenter Camila Alves in 2006. They had a son together, Levi, two years later, then a daughter, Vida, in 2010. They wed in a private ceremony in Austin, Texas in 2012. Then soon after they had their youngest son, Livingston.
McConaughey told E! Online that he adores being a father. The Dallas Buyers Club star said, "It's the one thing I've always wanted to be. Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn...You know what's important. I definitely got more selfish. And at the same time, I think I got more compassionate." Awww, it just melts your heart doesn't it?
8 Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
In typical Mariah Carey style she has to do everything over the top. Morroco and Monroe have their very own website called Dem Babies dedicated to pictures of the gorgeous twins. Their father is presenter Nick Cannon, the couple are dedicated to making sure their two superstars always have only the most luxurious goods.
Roc and Roe, as they are nicknamed, were born into celebrity royalty. Their mother spared no expense after their arrival and splashed out $40,000 on the two cribs alone. Hollywood Life also reported that she spent $5,000 on Roddler strollers, which are fitted with iPods and DVD players. Although Carey and Cannon have now gone their separate ways after six years of marriage they still co-parent together like a true team.
7 Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams
Matilda Ledger looks the spitting image of her late father, Heath Ledger. Her mother is actress Michelle Williams and actor Jake Gyllenhaal is her godparent. Her parents ended their relationship in 2007 when she was just a toddler. Her father passed away aged just 28-years-old of cardiac arrest bought on by prescription drugs.
Heath was filming The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus at the time of his death. The three actors who took over the unfinished role were Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp. They gave their paychecks to Matilda as a trust fund for when she grows up. The film’s director Terry Gilliam said, "They didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter."
6 Courtney Cox and David Arquette
How times have changed. Coco Arquette is now eleven-years-old and although her actor parents, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, have separated they still remain close. Courtney had a tough time raising her daughter after suffering postpartum depression. Her rock to lean on during these difficult times was Coco's godmother and her best friend, Jennifer Aniston.
Courtney and David don't just co-parent they also have an ongoing business relationship, part-owning Coquette Productions. They divorced in 2012 and David is now married to Entertainment Tonight correspondent Christina McLarty. Courtney has moved on and will marry Snow Patrol rocker, Johnny McDaid, later this year.
5 Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubrey
Nahla Aubry is one lucky little lady. Her mother, Halle Berry, is one of the most beautiful actresses in the world and her father, Gabriel Aubry, is an internationally successful model. The pair have been kind enough to pass on the beauty gene to their daughter.
Nahla might have the showbiz gene already blossoming inside her after practically growing up on movie sets. The X-Men actress told Hello! Magazine, "(Nahla) was just 3 months old when we started so I was doing drive by nursings every two hours. I would go into my trailer, nurse for 10 minutes and off I was.” Unfortunately, her parents have split for good and Berry has moved on with French model, Olivier Martinez.
4 Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson
Model and actress, Milla Jovovich, married her husband, film director Paul W.S. Anderson, after they both met on the set of Resident Evil in 2002. Anderson wrote and directed the film and Jovovich took the lead role. Now the pair collaborate on raising two gorgeous young girls together instead.
In 2007, they welcomed their first daughter, Ever Gabo, who was blessed with the same striking blue eyes as her mother. Then earlier this year, their second daughter, Dashiel Edan, was born. The girls will most likely adopt the strong persona their mother has and Jovovich has already commented that Ever has already started to become just like her. The Ukraine born model told People magazine, "She’s like me times ten. She’s so strong. Very aggressive. If she wants something she’s going to let you know immediately." Watch out for these two when they grow up.
3 Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
North West has been a natural beauty since birth. Her mother, Kim Kardashian, will always have a contouring kit close-by, but the way North can work a camera she won't be needing it. The two-year-old, who's father is rapper Kanye West, has already gained millions of Instagram likes by showing off her signature pout for her mother's phone camera.
Well known for her tantrums on the front row of Paris Fashion Week, the youngest member of the Kardashian clan has huge fashion companies such as Balmain and Kenzo throwing clothes at her to wear. North is already a baby A-Lister before she has even attended her first day of pre-school and if she takes after her mother we expect nothing less from her than world domination.
2 David and Victoria Beckham
2015 was a big event for David Beckham fans, after he joined the ranks of Instagram and began sharing his stunning snaps. His wife, fashion designer Victoria Beckham, had already been an active user of the app - but now it was all about David.
Back when they first met Victoria was known then as Posh Spice and a member of The Spice Girls. David Beckham was dubbed 'Goldenballs' by the press during his prestigious career as captain of the England soccer team. The pair have four children, Brooklyn aged 16, Romeo aged 13, Cruz aged 10, and their daughter four-year-old Harper.
They are the kind of family with faces that make the world melt. The pair have passed on not only their chiselled cheekbones but also their kindness, as they are rumoured to be the most well-behaved kids in showbiz. Brooklyn Beckham has already started to use his looks and charm to attract 18-year-old actress, Chloe Moretz. The pair have been caught by the cameras out on several dates throughout the year.
1 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
It feels like only yesterday the world went crazy when romantic photographs emerged of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together. Ten years later, the Jolie-Pitts now have six children and were married last year. Jolie had already adopted a son, Maddox, from Cambodia in 2002. She then adopted daughter, Zahara, two years later from Ethiopia and son, Pax from Vietnam in 2008. After she met Brad, he agreed to co-adopt the children also as his own.
Their first biological child, Shiloh, was born in Namibia, to avoid media attention, in 2006. They sold her baby pictures to People magazine for $4.1 million with all proceeds donated to UNICEF. The couple then completed their family with twins, Knox and Vivienne, in 2008. After a media scrum for the pictures, they eventually sold for $14 million to People magazine with all proceeds going to the Jolie-Pitt foundation. It does always help when selling newborn pictures for millions that the children themselves are flawlessly photogenic.
