Celebrity Kids Who Completely Fell Off the Radar

Celebrities have the same stressors and anxieties that normal people have, and so do their kids. Some celebrity children have managed to stay out of the limelight for their entire lives, but that doesn't mean that they're completely anonymous...

Lola Consuelos

Lola Consuelos is the daughter of Kelly Ripa. As you may know, anyone with a relationship with Kelly Ripa might have a great opportunity to enter the Hollywood realm at a young age. But, Lola didn't want the same life that her mother lived. 

Walking a Different Path

Lola decided to study business instead of acting. She's now 19 years old and is on the track to graduate from the NYU business program. She is reportedly a great student and she plans to open her own firm post-graduation. 

Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber is the daughter of Cindy Crawford. Just like her mother, Kaia grew up to be a beautiful, charismatic, and publically talented individual. Using a combination of her good looks, interesting personality, knowledge of modern communication tactics, and her own personal manipulation of the Instagram algorithm, Gerber became one of the most famous people in the eyes of Gen Z over the past few years. 

She's Her Own Agent

Gerber has been able to translate her YouTube and Instagram popularity into very legit modeling gigs. She modeled for Vogue, Teen Vogue, and pop magazine to name a few. She also walked the runway in 2017 for Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Versace, and Chanel. 

Brooklyn Beckham 

David and Victoria Beckham had Brooklyn Beckham in 1999. He was given fame, fortune, opportunity, and all the stress that comes with waking up and being a uber-famous person from birth. He grew up playing soccer (or "football" for our non-American readers) but it never really stuck with him. 

Still Figuring It Out 

Brooklyn hasn't quite found his way yet, but who does that by the age of 22 anyway? He took up photography and modeling as a hobby, and he even worked in a normal coffee shop for several years because he wasn't in college. It seems like Brooklyn is going to become a fashion icon as opposed to an athlete just like his mom. 

Elijah Blue Allman

Elijah Blue-Allman is the love child of Cher and Greg Allman. Much like his father and mother, Elijah picked up the guitar at a very young age and he got completely sucked into the musician's lifestyle. He is now 43 years old and he plays lead guitar in the band Deadsy for a living. 

Rumor Has It

Although it is not confirmed, rumor has it that Kiss's famous bassist Gene Simmons handed Elijah his first guitar. After his father died in 2017, Elijah took a step back from producing music for his own band. But, he is actively helping Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars record their upcoming album. 

Jane Carrey

The resemblance between Jane Carrey and her father Jim is absolutely uncanny. Early on in her life, Jane decided that she wanted to be just like her dad. She got into singing, dancing, acting, and doing comedy when she was merely a child. 

She's on Camera Too!

Jane hasn't focused on acting as much as she has focused on her musicianship. She sings in a band called The Jane Carrey Band. In 2012, she auditioned for American Idol, but she didn't make it past the first elimination round. Recently, she finished her contract for an acting gig on the TV show Kidding, and she is now taking it easy. 

Hailie Jade Scott Mathers

If you couldn't guess, Hailie Jade is the daughter of Eminem, also known as Marshal Mathers. Eminem kept his daughter away from the limelight until she became old enough to understand what it could do to a person. However, at 24-years-old, she has been making serious waves on social media. 

Becoming Who She Wants to Be

Hailie has been pretty active on Instagram for a few years. She just graduated from Michigan State with high honors and now she is pursuing a higher degree in psychology. She also makes money as a clothing model for independent brands. 

Ethan Wayne

Ethan Wayne is the son of the legendary western star John Wayne. Not only did he follow in his father's footsteps, but he also doubled down on the industry. Instead of just becoming an actor, Ethan Wayne became a stunt double, a producer, an agent, and he even worked on some film crews behind the scenes. 

A Man After His Father's Legacy

Wayne lives in California, not too far away from where he grew up with his father. Producers love casing him because he performs his own stunts, he knows his way around a movie set, and he is incredibly humble and respectful to everyone who works with him. 

Damien Hurley

Damien Hurley is the son of Elizabeth Hurley and Steve Bing. There were some serious issues with paternity tests at the beginning of Damian's life, but it was ultimately confirmed that Steve Bing was the father. However, Bing decided that he didn't want to involve himself in Damien's life, and it seems like he might be better off without his eccentric estranged father. 

A Model and an Actor

Damian is now 17 years old, and if you couldn't already tell, he was practically born to be a model. He also acts in his spare time, and recently he landed a role in the show The Royals which starred his mother as the Queen of England. Damian also has a huge list of famous godfathers including David Beckham, Elton John, and Hugh Grant. 

Bindi Irwin

Stever Irwin was one of the most recognizable members of the animal-television world before he tragically passed away in 2006. However, his daughter has taken up the family torch. Being born into her conservationist family, Bindi Irwin has been outspoken about her views on animals and how the world affects them. 

From Musician to Zookeeper

Bindi started her broadcast career by singing, dancing, and acting on Vine when it was around. After Vine shut down, Bindi still had a decent following online, and she began using her platforms to educate and advocate for animal rights. Recently, she became the co-runner of the Australia Zoo and she works as a conservation consultant for zoos and television producers. 

Stella Banderas 

Antonio Banderas is a red carpet professional who has won dozens of awards. He tried to hide his daughter from the limelight, but at a young age, she took an interest in acting. By 1999, she acted in her first film that was coincidentally written and directed by her father titled Crazy in Alabama. 

Moving On Up

By 2018, Stella completely committed herself to acting, but she's tried to keep a low profile in the business, patiently waiting for her big breakout role. She studied performing arts at a popular school in New York City, and now she is focusing on modeling. During the coronavirus pandemic, she has shifted to becoming an influencing advocate for Madhappy, a company that's focused on assisting those going through mental health crises right now. 

Maury Luana Williams

Jane Fonda was extremely popular in the '80s and '90s for her workout videos, but she was also able to carve out a successful Hollywood career as she became a household name. Outside of show business, Fonda is an accomplished writer and political activist. Also, some might not know this, she is a mother to an adopted child named Mary Williams.  

Where Has She Been?

Williams has completely stayed out of the limelight, and she likes it that way. She doesn't have any social media, she doesn't appear on camera with her mother often, and she has personally chosen to carve out her own life instead of trying to drag on the coattails of her mother. Fonda helped Williams get into activism and politics as a career, but other than that, Williams likes to keep to herself.  

Lily Collins

If you didn't already know, Phil Collins is an extremely accomplished singer, songwriter, drummer, producer, and founding member of the band Genesis. His daughter, Lily Collins, became a successful model and actress. She also wrote a book and has written several award-winning essays. 

A Wiz With a Pen

In 2017, Lily Collins published a collection of essays titled Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me. She dives deep into her own mental health, her relationship with her father, and other serious issues in her life. Turns out, just being rich and famous doesn't necessarily mean that you will be happy. She also played the lead role in the Netflix series "Emily in Paris," which was nominated in a few categories at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.

Jack Quaid

Jack Quaid is the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. He was practically born directly into stardom and was essentially bred to follow in his parents' footsteps. You might recognize him from his roles in The Hunger Games and Plus One. 

Man With a Plan

Quaid knew he wanted to be an actor like his parents since a young age. He got his bachelor's degree at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York before moving to Los Angeles to act full-time. In the process, he met the love of his life, Lizzie McGroder. 

Mikaela Spielberg

It only makes sense that Steven Speilberg's kid would follow in his movie-making footsteps. His youngest daughter, Mikaela Spielberg, has been in the process of reconnecting with her sense of self outside of the umbrella of her father and the expectations that society has for her. Mikaela slaps an adult content warning on all of the videos she makes and sends them out on pay-per-view sites like Vimeo and OnlyFans.

A Little Background

Just so you know, these videos aren't explicitly "pornographic." She creates art films that are centered around the sexualization of the black woman's body. Her parents "don't get it," but they have acknowledged that what Mikaela is doing is valid and unique. 

Sistine Stalone

Sistine is the daughter of Sylvester Stallone. She is now 21 years old, and she is following in her father's footsteps. He set her up with a few gigs in Hollywood and her career is beginning to take off. If you want to watch her debut film, check out "47 Meters Down: Uncaged" on Amazon Prime Video. 

Allison Eastwood

Allison Eastwood is the daughter of Clint Eastwood. She is now 47-years-old, and she has lived a life full of modeling, acting, directing, producing, and fashion designing. Currently, she spends most of her time working with her non-profit animal welfare organization called the Eastwood Ranch Foundation. 

John Carter Cash

John Carter is the son of Johnny Cash, the revered country/western singer who was most popular in the '60s. John Carter spent the majority of his 49-year life working as a record producer. He records and performs his own music as well. John Carter has insane guitar skills, just like his father. 

Lila Grace Moss Hack

Kate Moss is an impressive lady, and so is her daughter. Lila Grace, who is now 17 years old, has already begun making waves in the fashion world. She became so popular so quick that she was invited to Marc Jacobs' wedding and had to take her mother as a plus-one. 

Coco Arquette

Coco is the daughter of Courtney Cox and David Arquette. Her parents split when she was a kid, and she got the best of both worlds in the divorce. Two Christmases, two allowances, two different sets of friends in two different locations in Los Angeles county, and two different parental figures to guide her through her early life. Coco is just 15 years old, she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life yet, but she is confident that her parents are setting her up for success. 

Lisa Marie Presley

Elvis was the king, so that must have made Lisa Marie the princess. Lisa Marie Presley is now 53-years-old. She has managed to make a music career outside of the expectations of fans of her father. She even spent a brief stint of her life in the church of Scientology, but thankfully she got out and was able to write music about it afterward. 

Prince & Paris Jackson

Prince and Paris were the two adopted children of Michael Jackson. After he died in 2009, the duo left their homes and was forced to strike out on their own paths with the small fortune that Michael left them. Now, both Prince and Paris are 24-years-old. Prince is an aspiring musician, and Paris is beginning to make waves as a model. 

Raphael De Niro

Raphael De Niro is the son of the legendary actor, Robert De Niro. He started his life down the same trajectory his father went on, but he found out that his true calling was in high-end real estate sales. His client list includes Kelly Ripa, Renee Zellweger, and billionaire Travis Kalanick, just to name a few. 

Anderson Cooper

Believe it or not, Anderson Cooper's popularity is largely due to nepotism starting with his mother. He was born the son of Gloria Vanderbilt. She was an actor, author, artist, fashion designer, and a regular writer for the New York Times' civilian journalism column. Cooper spent his life riding on his mother's coattails, and because of that, he has become one of the most recognizable journalists in history. 

Rumer Willis

Rumer was born to Demi More and Bruce Willis back when they were together in the late '80s. Rumer tried to make her own space in Hollywood but was largely unsuccessful. However, in 2005 she started appearing in movies that her father was in. In 2015, she entered Dancing with the Stars and almost took the whole thing. She acts here and there nowadays, but she hasn't picked up any major roles in a long time. 

Ava Phillippe

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe had a thing back in the late '80s and they had Ava as a result. Unlike her mother and father, Ava started pursuing a career in modeling. She took over her mother's clothing line and she has managed to amass an absolute ton of money in the meantime. That, and she's getting really famous on Instagram. 

Sofia Richie

Sofia Richie strayed away from the music world and has embarked on her own journey to own and manage her own series of clothing lines. After her career took a jump start when she was just 16, just six years later she is working with Travis Scott, Chanel, Michael Kors, and Tommy Hilfiger. 

Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose is the daughter of Disney's favorite pirate, Johnny Depp. Lil-Rose began her life in France, but she slowly acted her way to America. She took a small part in the movie Tusk a few years ago and has been grabbing extra roles ever since. She's working on a big project right now with Evangeline Lilly and Gary Oldman about the opioid crisis, but that was halted by the coronavirus pandemic. 

Dakota Johnson

Dakota Johnson is the product of her mother's influence. Due to Melanie Griffith's power in the film industry, she was able to get Dakota up and acting very early. Recently, Johnson became the face of the 50 Shades franchise, and she's been busy with that since those movies hit pre-production around 2013. 

Frances Bean Cobin

How incredible and miserable it must have been being the daughter of Kurt Cobain. Fortunately for Frances Bean (or unfortunately, depends on how you look at it), her father passed away before she was big enough to understand what that really meant for her. She was raised by Courtney Love and the rest of the members of Nirvana. She inherited a large amount of her father's estate and has sustained herself off the millions he made before he died. 

Apple Martin

Gwyneth Paltrow caught a lot of flak for naming her daughter "Apple" in 2006. However, with Elon Musk naming his baby X Æ A-12, that's hardly a strange thing to do in 2021. Apple is now 16 years old, and she completely avoids the limelight. She doesn't have social media, and she doesn't want to be analyzed or noticed really at all. 

Trey Smith

Willard Carroll "Trey" Smith III was born to Will Smith's first wife. Trey is now 28-years-old, and he has managed to stay completely out of the eyes of the public. Trey likes to DJ, but he never successfully made a career out of music like his half-brother and sister, but he seems to enjoy his life for what it is. 

Stella McCartney

Stella is now 48 years old. She was born when the Beatles were at the very top of their game, and she got to spend the majority of her childhood chasing her father (Paul McCartney) around from show to show. She is a successful model and fashion designer, and she has even racked up some awards for her work in the clothes industry. 

Dylan Penn

Dylan Penn is the child of Sean Penn and Robin Wright. At the age of 18, Dylan embarked on the initial journey of her modeling career. She even started showing up in movies in 2015. She plans on working in independent film until she thinks of something else to do, and thanks to her parents, that shouldn't be too difficult. 

Dlan Brosnan

Dylan Brosnan is the 23-year-old son of Pierce Brosnan, who you might know as "James Bond." Dylan is a part-time model who is studying cinematic arts at a college in New York City. He also plays in a band called Rasberry Blonde. Additionally, he and his sister Paris got to hand out Golden Globes in 2019. 

Chet Hanks

Chet Hanks (also known as Chet Haze) is the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Chet, unfortunately, went off the deep end early in his life. He has become openly racist on social media, struggled with drugs in the past, got some wild tattoos just for clout, and is attempting to perform CPR on his music career that was dead on arrival. Chet is 31 now, and we hope he is starting to do a little better than he did before. 

Raymond Nicholson

Believe it or not, Jack Nicholson has five children. However, Raymond (or Ray, as Jack calls him) might just be his father's favorite son. They are often photographed together in various places around Los Angeles, but other than that, Ray likes to lay extremely low. Chances are, you didn't even know that he had a role in the 2006 hit film, The Benchwarmers. 

Sarah Sutherland

For all those people out there who don't know who Keifer Sutherland is, you need to watch 24. For all those who do, then you probably know about his daughter, Sarah. She's 32-years-old, and she's been riding in the wake of her father all the way to success. Her biggest role so far was in the hit HBO show "Veep." She was given a Screen Actors Guild award for outstanding performance in that show last year. 

Dylan Lauren

Dylan Lauren had the opportunity to move down the same path that her father carved, but she decided to go a different route. She opened Dylan's Candy Bar in Brooklyn and Manhattan. She sells unique and exotic candies all made in New York City or imported from other countries. Evidently, she wanted to own a candy store ever since she saw Willy Wonka for the first time when she was 16. 

Manolo Vergara

As you would probably imagine, the son of Sofia Vergara is extremely handsome and charming. Sofia had Manolo early in her life, and she raised him as a single mother. This brought them very close together, and they consider themselves to be best friends.  Manolo does a little modeling, and he takes a few acting roles when he wants. But, for the most part, he doesn't have to work. 

Honey Hollman

Honey is the daughter of the legendary actor, Jack Nicholson. She loves film and has tried acting in the past, but she doesn't seem to enjoy being in the public eye as much as her dad did. In reality, she never had much of a relationship with her father, since her mother wanted to keep her away from him. Evidently, Honey was born because of a single-night fling that her mother and Jack Nicholson had in 1980. 

Chloe Lattanzi

Chloe was born to Olivia Newton-John, and she has profited massively off of her mother's success. Chloe had some substance abuse problems that left her without a career for several years, but as soon as she went into recovery, her career just skyrocketed. She released an album in 2016 that did decently well, and she's been taking small roles in movies here and there to make ends meet. 

Rene-Charles Angelil

Rene-Charles Angelil is actually the son of Celine Dion and a Canadian musical producer, who was coincidentally Dion's former manager. Rene-Charles took a card from his mother's deck and is now actively pursuing a career in music. He raps under the alias "Big Trip" and he actually managed to secure the No. 1 and No. 2 rankings for most played songs on Canadian SoundCloud. 

Maya Thurman-Hawke

Back when Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke were Hollywood's "It" couple in the late '90s, they had Maya. Of their two children, May came out as the one with the biggest personality. She became a model early in her life, but she still managed to keep herself out of the public eye. She likes it that way. As long as she can secure jobs, she is perfectly comfortable hiding away with her parents. 

Matilda Ledger

Michelle William and Heath Ledger met and fell in love on the set of Brokeback Mountain. In 2005, the couple had a baby girl that they named Matilda. In 2008, when Heath Ledger tragically died of an overdose, Michelle William was left to tend to Matilda on her own. Fortunately, Matilda adjusted well to the loss and she is edging her way into adulthood right now. She is just 16 years old at the moment, and she plans on staying out of the public eye for the foreseeable future. 

Ava Sambora

Ava Sambora is the daughter of Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora of the band Bon Jovi. Although Heather and Richie split up in 2007, they have done a great job co-raising their child.  Right now, Ava is just getting out of college and she has no plans for the immediate future. But, she thinks that she is going to at least try to become a model like her mother. 

Alaia Baldwin

Back in the day, the Baldwins ruled Hollywood. But, nowadays, they are positioning themselves to pass the torch down to their daughters. Unlike Hailey, Alaia keeps to herself, despite being a very successful model in her own right. She chose not to be exposed to the public like her sister, and she likes that for herself. 

Hazel, Henry, and Phinneas Moder

Julia Roberts is one of the most recognizable actors in Hollywood history, but we bet if we lined her children up you wouldn't be able to pick any of them out. That's because Julia Roberts has gone completely out of her way to keep her family life within her family. That, and none of Roberts' children really want to be in the public eye anyway. 

Connor & Isabella Cruise

Connor and Isabella were adopted by Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman only a few years before they split in 2001. After the couple parted ways, the kids chose to live with Tom to stay out of the public eye. They are rarely seen in public, which seems to be exactly what they wanted with their lives. 

Zelda Williams

Zelda Williams is the daughter of the late Robin Williams. Evidently, Zelda spent most of her childhood reading comic books and playing video games. Since she was named after the heroine from the Legend of Zelda, we think that's quite fitting. After Robin Williams died in 2014, Zelda hasn't been seen really at all (although she did take a small role in the show Dead of Summer). She is 30-years-old now. 

The Jolie-Pitt Clan

The children of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are all, in general, kept out of the spotlight. While they may have uber-famous parents, Angelina and Brad are allowing their children to have a choice when it comes to their level of fame and doing their best to protect their kids from the judgment the spotlight can bring.
