Most people would need to work their entire lives to achieve recognition. For a select few, however, “celebrity status” came bundled with their birth certificate. Whether it came from a famous last name, high-profile parents, being born into the public eye, or a combination of all three, these 10 people were celebrities long before they even learned how to walk.
10. Romy Mars
Born in the prestigious Coppola family, Romy Mars is a 16-year-old aspiring DJ who recently shocked social media with her Coachella set. Daughter of Sofia Coppola and French musician Thomas Mars, Romy has “entertainment” engraved in her DNA.
9. Apple Martin
Apple Martin made her debut at the Paris Fashion Week last year, with tabloids commenting on how the 21-year-old socialite continues the legacy of her parents, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
8. Willow Smith
Born in 2000, Willow Smith immediately became an international superstar and the next in line to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s legacy. She first rocked the music world with her “Whip My Hair” video when she was only nine years old.
7. Jaden Smith
If Willow inherited Will and Jada’s musical talents, then Jaden would pursue his father’s Hollywood dreams. Co-starring alongside his dad from a very young age, Jaden has now become more active in the musical scene.
6. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
The first biological child of Hollywood’s sweethearts, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Shiloh was making headlines even before she was born. The couple even had to briefly relocate to Namibia for her birth as a last-ditch effort to avoid the paparazzi.
5. Suri Cruise
When Suri Cruise was born in 2006, the media immediately tried to get info on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ only biological child. She keeps a mostly low-key presence, even if she frequently stars in films directed by her talented mother.
4. North West
North West’s birth was first announced on Twitter to an audience of over 20 million followers. Now, North follows the footsteps of her world-famous mom, Kim Kardashian, having turned into a dominating 12-year-old TikTok influencer and fashion icon.
3. Stormi Webster
When your mom is one of the world’s leading fashion influencers and your dad is one of the most successful living musicians, success is pretty much a given from the crib. Stormi has since become a “mini-influencer” alongside her mom, turning Kylie Jenner’s multi-million dollar cosmetics empire into a mother-daughter enterprise.
2. Blue Ivy Carter
It takes some real online traffic to bring down a platform like Instagram to its metaphorical knees—which is exactly what Jay Z and Beyoncé achieved when they announced their daughter was born. Now, Blue Ivy already flaunts a Grammy win at just nine years old, the youngest winner in history, continuing the Carter tradition of hoarding Grammys with gusto.
1. Prince George of Wales
You can hardly get any more famous than being born into royalty. Now imagine being the grandson of one of Britain’s most beloved Royals—and a future king. Prince George might be 12, but he’s already the “Future King” in the eyes of the tabloids.
