There are a lot of really adorable celebrity children, and because they do the cutest things, or their parents dress them up in the most hilarious outfits (like Chrissy Teigen does to her daughter Luna), it’s hard not to give these little darlings attention. But what happens when these tiny stars grow up; are they going to become A-listers like their popular parents, or will they choose to disappear from the limelight entirely? Of course, this is a question that cannot be answered with certainty, but what we do know is that there are some celeb children that have become hugely popular in recent years, and they are getting so much attention that it looks as though they’re going to be making headlines, or appearing in magazines and films, for a long, long time.
Take Cindy Crawford’s beautiful teenage daughter, Kaia Gerber, who is already following in her mother’s footsteps and making a name for herself in the modeling industry. Or Ming Lee Simmons, who has literally grown up in front of the cameras thanks to her mother Kimora Lee Simmons reality TV show, Life in the Fab Lane, but now it looks as though she’s going to continue to command attention on her own terms. Below are 20 children of A-listers, whose names are likely to be in lights.
