The media, photographers and fans start the hype about celeb kids even before they are born! And once they are, they have to get used to growing up in the spotlight, and also basking in their parents’ peripheral glow. Blessed with a rock-solid gene pool (and probably a rock-solid trust fund in their name, too!) these celeb kids have it good!

We may remember them from the time these kids were little, holding their mom or dad’s hands on the red carpet, but now they’re old enough to hold their own. They have successful careers now, some are teens, while some are married with kids and others have had a tragic life with brushes with law, DUI arrests, and issues of alcoholism and drug addiction.

Find out what these celeb kids look like now and what they have been up all this while…

Angelina Jolie’s Adopted Son, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt – Off to College

Maddox is Salt actress Angelina Jolie’s oldest son, who she adopted from Cambodia. We have practically seen him grow up in front of our eyes, even as his mom adopted his 2 other siblings. Angelina then married Fight Club star Brad Pitt and 3 more biological siblings followed. Brad even legally adopted Jolie’s adopted children after getting married to her.

Now, Maddox is 19 years old and had moved to South Korea as he attends Yonsei University there. It was widely reported that in 2016, he had an altercation with Brad on a private plane and that pushed Angelina to file for divorce. Ever since then, Maddox has not spent any time with his father, who suffered from alcoholism.

Vin Diesel’s Daughter, Hania Riley Sinclair – Still in School

The torchbearer of the Fast and Furious movie series, Vin Diesel is such a mysterious enigma, that we hardly know anything about his private life. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that he was been with his partner Paloma Jimenez, a Mexican model, since 2007.

What’s more is that the couple has three kids together, and their eldest is daughter Hania Riley. She actually acted with Vin in his new movie Fast & Furious: Spy Racers, which is also her screen debut. While we are not sure if she harbors any acting aspirations, we are sure the young girl will be terrific on screen.

Will Smith’s Son, Jaden Smith – Actor and Rapper

We are all aware that Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s Will Smith has two sons, but his second son Jaden is the more popular one because he appeared in his movie The Pursuit of Happyness when he was quite young. Jaden then starred in The Karate Kid remake and teamed up with his dad again for the movie After Earth.

Jaden also has a promising career as a rapper, having released two albums so far, 2017’s Sre and 2019’s Erys. Surprisingly, he became legally emancipated from his parents on his 15^th birthday, with their consent, as Will and his actress wife Jada raised him to be independent from a young age.

Matt LeBlanc’s Daughter, Marina Pearl LeBlanc – Still in School

Friends actor Matt LeBlanc’s marriage to Melissa McKnight lasted only 3 years but it gave him lovely daughter, Marina Pearl. Unlike most of his Friends co-stars, Matt chose not to capitalize on his post-show fame, and instead care for his daughter, who was diagnosed with a rare medical condition when she was 11 months old.

Thankfully, Marina’s condition improved as she grew up, and this experience only made Matt’s relationship with his daughter stronger. The 16-year old-usually stays out of the spotlight, but is sometimes spotted with her dad – even gracing the red carpet with him once.

Pierce Brosnan’s Son, Dylan Brosnan – College Student, Musician and Model

The 2020 Golden Globes Award picked two young brothers as Golden Globe Ambassadors, since they are Hollywood royalty after all. Dylan and his younger brother Paris are two of Bond actor Pierce Brosnan’s 5 kids, and were born to his second wife and model Keely Brosnan.

Dylan is a college student who has a degree from USC School of Cinematic Arts, and has also tried his hand at modeling, acting and cinematography. He has walked the runway for Burberry and YSL, acted in Out of Reach, Poisoning Paradise and The Young Motivators Club, besides singing and writing songs for his band, Raspberry Blonde.
