Jaden and Willow Smith Now
It’s always worth pointing out that Willow and Jaden Smith have inverted versions of their famous parents’ names. That is, daughter Willow is named after her father, actor Will Smith. And son Jaden is named after his mom, actress Jada Pinkett Smith. That’s not very creative, is it?
Anyway, Jaden and Willow have been in the industry since they were little kids. Jaden now goes by just his first name and is an actor and rapper. Likewise, singer Willow is known just by her first name.
Jaden and Willow Smith Then
Aren’t they just adorable? This is a family snap of the Smith kids when they were tiny tots. Willow was born in 2000, while older brother Jaden was born two years earlier. These two also have an elder half-brother from Will Smith’s first marriage to Sheree Zampino.
When they were still small, Willow and Jade each acted in movies with their dad. Later, Willow voiced an animated character in a movie with her mom. They were always bound for showbiz!
Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell Now
Nowadays, American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish is a bonafide star. The multi-Grammy award winner often performs alongside her brother, Finneas O’Connell. The talented siblings collaborate on music, with Finneas writing her debut single, “Ocean Eyes.”
Impressively, Finneas is a Grammy award winner in his own right. As well as working with his little sister, he has written and produced for Halsey, Camila Cabello, and Justin Bieber. He’s also released his own music and done some acting. This is one pair of super cool siblings.
Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell Then
There’s a reason these two grew up to be so talented! And that reason is named Maggie Baird (and maybe their dad, Patrick O’Connell too). Billie and Finneas’ mom, Maggie, is an actress and screenwriter. She homeschooled her kids so they could spend time together and have the freedom to learn.
This meant that little Billie and Finneas were making music when they were small children. The reason these celebrity siblings have different surnames is that Billie uses her middle name, Eilish, as her stage name.
Serena and Venus Williams Now
These incredible siblings are so impressive that there’s currently a movie out about their life. Both Serena and Venus Williams have won an astonishing amount of tennis titles and broken numerous records. Together, they brought in a new era for women’s tennis. Since their appearance, the world has never been the same.
Currently, younger sibling Serena Williams is the highest-earning female athlete of all time. On top of everything else, the Williams sisters also have four Olympic gold medals each.
Serena and Venus Williams Then
Much like Billie and Finneas, these celebrity siblings honed their craft from a very young age. They were also homeschooled, and coached by their father. A local professional tennis player spotted Venus when she was 10, and the family moved to Florida so the girls could join a tennis academy.
At one stage, Richard Williams withdrew his daughters from the sport because of racism. Eventually, he removed them from the academy and did their coaching at home. The rest is history!
Mary Kate, Ashley, and Elizabeth Olsen Now
While everyone knows that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen go together, not everyone knows about younger sibling Elizabeth. Well, everyone knows about the Marvel star, just not necessarily that she has famous siblings. However, once you really look at these three, it’s clear they share the same DNA.
While Elizabeth is a working actor, her famous twin sisters retired in 2012. Since then, they’ve founded their own fashion label, The Row, and have a lifestyle brand.
Mary Kate, Ashley, and Elizabeth Olsen Then
Famously, the Olsen sisters started working at a very young age. And we mean really young. Mary Kate and Ashley were just nine months old when they shared their first TV role. From there, the work just kept coming. Eventually, the girls had multiple movies, series, books, dolls, and more.
Likewise, Elizabeth Olsen had her first acting job when she was just four years old, starring in her elder sisters’ projects. Because of the media attention her siblings received, Elizabeth almost quit acting.
Charli and Dixie D’Amelio Now
These TikTok famous siblings are surely some of the most well-known siblings around. The D’Amelio sisters, made up of Dixie and Charli, have millions of fans. To be precise, Dixie has over 50 million TikTok followers, and Charli has over 100 million.
Actually, Charli was the platform’s most-followed creator. As well as being social media stars, these famous siblings have branched out into other areas. They have a TV show and podcast, as well as movie roles and singles.
Charli and Dixie D’Amelio Then
The D’Amelio sisters are still in their teens, but that doesn’t mean we d0n’t have a throwback picture! Younger sister Charli started dancing at three years old and went on to become a competitive dancer. She did this for over 10 years before starting her TikTok career.
When the teen’s platform kicked off, she had to switch to virtual school. Luckily for Dixie, Charli’s success led to her career. The famous sisters grew up in Connecticut to a business owner dad and a photographer mom.
Miley and Noah Cyrus Now
Because of her huge child stardom, some people mightn’t know that Miley has a little sis. In fact, the singer and actress has several siblings, including brother Braison, and various step-siblings.
Like her elder sister, Noah Cyrus is a singer and actress. She released her first track in 2016 and ended up with a Grammy nomination. Both of the Cyrus sisters are outspoken. They’ve both talked openly about their mental health, political beliefs, and charitable organizations. Plus, they both have style.
Miley and Noah Cyrus Then
It’s obvious that both Miley and Noah Cyrus grew up in the showbiz world. Their dad is country singer and actor Billy Ray Cyrus. He started releasing music in the early ’90s and has sold millions of records.
Plus, the star spent 18 consecutive weeks at the top of the charts in 2019 with rapper Lil Nas X. Miley appeared in TV shows with her famous dad when she was just a child. Not long after, she landed her most famous role.
Kylie and Kendall Jenner Now
They’re part of a group of even more siblings, but for now, we’ll focus on just Kylie and Kendall. The Jenner sisters have perhaps managed to eclipse their super famous elder siblings. Or, at least, they’re a version of the Kardashians for a younger generation.
Younger sibling Kylie founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2015 and it went on to be valued at over a billion dollars. Meanwhile, Kendall dominates the world of modeling. In 2017, she was the highest-paid model in the world, pushing Gisele off the hotspot.
Kylie and Kendall Jenner Then
The world first met Kylie and Kendall when their family’s reality show first aired in 2007. Back then, the girls had straggly hair, cheeky faces, and questionable supervision.
Kylie and Kendall are the daughters of momager Kris Jenner and former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner. As well as having the Kardashians as siblings, they have Caitlyn’s other kids, including reality star Brody Jenner. The girls grew up in Calabasas and eventually were both homeschooled. Kendall started to pursue modeling at 14.
Paris and Nicky Hilton Now
The Hilton sisters are just what you’d expect socialites to be. They’re glamorous, super-wealthy, and just a little bit eccentric. Since their years in the public eye, both Paris and Nicky seem to have calmed down a bit.
For a period in the noughties, Paris was best known as a pink-wearing, pooch-holding, party girl. These days, Paris has her own podcast and various TV shows. Her perfume alone has made over two billion dollars. As for Nicki, she has several fashion collections.
Paris and Nicky Hilton Then
We’re completely obsessed with this picture of the Hiltons growing up. Could they look any more like wealthy little heiresses? Both Paris and Nicky were born in New York City and lived a luxury Upper East Side life. After all, their great grandfather founded Hilton Hotels.
The Hilton sisters both went to fancy Catholic private schools. For a while, the family even lived in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. According to Paris and her relatives, she was a tomboy growing up.
Kim and Kyle Richards, and Kathy Hilton Now
How could we talk Paris and Nicky without mentioning their mom and her sisters? Kathy Hilton is the eldest child of Kathleen Dugan who went on t0 have two more daughters, child actresses Kyle and Kim Richards.
The world caught up with the Richards siblings when they appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This year, after 11 seasons, we finally got to see a decent amount of Kathy. Now, we understand why Paris is the way she is. What a family!
Kim and Kyle Richards, and Kathy Hilton Then
Just look at Kyle Richards’ ’80s brows in this throwback picture! Here, a young Kathy Hilton is pregnant with son Barron and accompanied by a white-haired Nicki. All three of these famous siblings started working at a young age. Kathy was 11 when she first appeared on-screen.
Kim had a much shorter childhood as she started acting when she was just months old. For all of their younger years, she and Kyle acted in multiple movies and TV shows.
Hilary and Haylie Duff Now
The Duff sisters have been around for quite a while, and they’re now both proud moms. Younger sibling Hilary is a mom of three. She has a son from her first marriage, to NHL player Mike Comrie. Then, she has a son and daughter with second husband, singer-songwriter Matthew Koma.
As for Haylie, she’s a mom of two. She has two daughters, Ryan and Lulu, with Matt Rosenberg. Hilary has been pretty outspoken about paparazzi taking snaps of her kids.
Hilary and Haylie Duff Then
These two definitely did most of their work in their younger years. And who can blame them for taking a bit of a break in adulthood? Hilary was most famous for playing the lead role in a hit Disney show.
As a teen idol, she starred in a bunch of movies and released her own music. At one point, she even co-authored a trilogy of novels. As for Haylie, she started dancing at a young age and eventually crossed over into acting.
The Jonas Brothers Now
Look at them, all grown up! Here, we have the dashing Jonas Brothers all dressed in jewel-toned blazers. Though they’ve been around since they were kids, the band is still going strong. In fact, the Jonas Brothers’ 2019 hit “Sucker” was their first-ever number one single!
All three of the boys are now happily married men. Nick is married to Indian actress Priyanka Chopra. Joe is married to English actress Sophia Turner. And Kevin is married to TV personality Danielle Deleasa.
The Jonas Brothers Then
Here they are in a grainy throwback snap of a happy Jonas Christmas. The Jonas Brothers’ success is actually largely down to youngest brother Nick (though there’s another, even younger Jonas, named Frankie). He was discovered at six years old and referred to a showbiz manager.
From there, he regularly performed child roles on Broadway. When Nick wrote and released a single in 2003, Columbia records paid attention. They ended up signing the three brothers together, and the rest is history.
Raini and Rico Rodriguez Now
Our next famous siblings are Raini and Rico Rodriguez, a set of former child actors. Currently, actress and singer Raini is 28 years old and working in TV. She’s voice acted for various animated shows, and appeared as herself on various game shows.
As for younger brother Rico, he’s also stayed with TV. Along with his sister, he’s appeared on game shows and prank shows, and also dipped his toe in voice acting. We reckon we’ll see much more from these two.
Raini and Rico Rodriguez Then
Rico Rodriguez actually got into acting because of his elder sister. Raini was discovered at a showcase when she was just 11 years old. A talent agent suggested she move to LA, so she, her mom, and Rico all moved from Texas to sunny California. The kids were homeschooled so they could get to work.
Rico started in his role as Manny Delgado of Modern Family when he was just 11 years old. Before that, he’d already had several small parts on TV and in movies.
Tia and Tamera Mowry Now
What about these powerhouses? Tia and Tamera Mowry were a pretty popular pair back in their heyday, rivaling Mary-Kate and Ashley in the twins’ category. Thankfully, both sisters made it through child stardom and came out the other side.
Currently, Tia Mowry is married to Cory Hardrict and has two kids. She still acts, and appeared on reality TV with her sister. As for Tamera, she married Adam Housley and they also have two children. She has hosted several daytime talk shows.
Tia and Tamera Mowry Then
Tia and Tamera actually have more siblings — brothers Tahj and Tavior. The twins were born in Germany because their parents were both sergeants in the US army. Their mom, Darlene, ended up managing the girls’ careers.
Tia and Tamera were in pageants from a young age. They eventually convinced their parents to move to California so they could act. They were given one month to land a role, and both succeeded. Several years later, they had their own hit show.
Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar Braxton Now
Tens of thousands of people have tuned in to keep up with the Braxton family. Stars of their own reality series from 2011, the family is full of both talent and drama. The Braxton sisters include Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar.
As well as their main series, the Braxton siblings also star in various spin-offs. They also release music, host radio shows, and star in TV shows and movies. There’s no denying this is a talented celebrity family with some serious longevity.
Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar Braxton Then
According to the Braxtons themselves, the siblings first sang together in their childhood bathroom. The subject? Toilet paper. Apparently, young Tamar yelled for toilet paper, and each sister and brother arrived in the bathroom singing “the toilet paper song.” This was their first time writing together, and harmonizing together. How adorable!
The Braxtons sang in their church choir and eventually formed their own R&B group. From that, Toni got a record deal. She went on to win seven Grammy awards.
Aly and AJ Now
We have another couple of Disney kids next. Aly and AJ Michalka are the two halves of musical duo Aly & AJ. After 14 years, the siblings released their fourth album in 2021. Personally, we’re very happy to hear it.
Also in 2021, elder sibling Aly landed a role in a Hallmark movie. Prior to that, she’s been starring a range of movies and TV series. As for Aly, she’s the voice of Catra in a Netflix animated adventure series.
Aly and AJ Then
Both Aly and AJ have been musical from a young age. Perhaps that’s because their mom, Carrie, is a musician. AJ started to play the guitar in her early years, started acting at five, and started to play the piano when she was six. Likewise, Aly has played the guitar and piano since her childhood.
Aly was a Disney kid, playing Keely Teslow in a sci-fi comedy for the channel. Then, along with sister AJ, they starred in a range of other Disney content.
Solange and Beyoncé Knowles Now
It’s amazing that some families manage to produce not one, but two musical stars. As this list proves, lots of pairs of siblings end up collaborating together or working in the same field.
Beyoncé Knowles has dominated the music scene for decades now. First, she was a member of Destiny’s Child, and then a superstar solo artist. Younger sister Solange also has a successful music career, and a Grammy under her belt. Each Knowles sister has a different musical style.
Solange and Beyoncé Knowles Then
The Knowles siblings were raised in Houston, Texas and performed from a young age. It’s no surprise they went on to be the first sisters with number one albums. When Bey was just seven years old, her vocals beat a bunch of teenagers in a school talent show.
She ended up in performing arts school and was in a girl band as a child. Solange studied dance and theater as a little girl, and made her singing debut at age five.
Gia, Gabriella, Melania, and Audriana Giudice Now
Reality TV fans know that Gia, Gabriella, Melania, and Audriana Giudice are the daughters of New Jersey pair Teresa and Joe Giudice. These days, the girls are well-known because of their time on our screens for over a decade.
Currently, eldest sibling Gia is studying criminal justice in college. We assume that’s because of her unconventional childhood. Gabriella stays out of the spotlight, while Melania and Audriana are active on social media. The girls are often seen in videos with their dad in the Caribbean.
Gia, Gabriella, Melania, and Audriana Giudice Then
The Giudice girls had a particularly difficult childhood. As well as appearing on a reality show, both of their parents went to jail. That means the girls had to spend years without one of their parents. Now, their dad has been deported and banned from re-entering the US.
But, way back in the day, the girls were extremely pampered. They wore designer clothes, posed in pageants, and ran riot. In this picture, Gia, Gabriella, and Melania can be seen posing with mom Teresa and Mary Poppins.
Dakota and Elle Fanning Now
From the small screen to the big, next up are actresses Dakota and Elle Fanning. These two look incredibly similar, with their blonde hair and pale skin. Each of the Fanning sisters are accomplished actresses and have modeled for various publications.
The famous siblings have also gone into business together. In 2021, they set up production company, Lewellen Pictures. They’ve also signed up to star together in a 2022 movie. The Fanning sisters show no signs of slowing down!
Dakota and Elle Fanning Then
The Fanning sisters grew up in Georgia in a Southern Baptist family. They come from a sporting family, with a tennis player mom, a baseball player dad, and a football player grandpa. However, Dakota and Elle settled on acting.
Dakota Fanning was in her first commercial at just five years old. From there, she starred in TV shows before breaking into movies. Usefully, the younger Elle played an even younger version of her sister’s characters in several of her movies.
Frankie and Ariana Grande Now
Our next set of celebrity siblings are the talented Frankie and Ariana Grande. These two are actually half-siblings that share the same mom, CEO Joan Grande. Younger sibling Ariana is a critically acclaimed singer with a raft of awards under her belt.
Most recently, she’s landed the amazing role of Glinda in the live-action movie of Wicked. Frankie has performed on Broadway several times and is a social media star. He’s currently engaged to actor Hale Leon.
Frankie and Ariana Grande Then
Both of the Grande siblings grew up in Florida with their mom. Frankie performed in musicals from a young age, before going on to perform on Broadway. Before her life as a pony-tailed popstar, Ariana Grande was a Nickelodeon star.
When Ariana first arrived in Hollywood at just 13, she was intent on making an R&B album. Several years later, she landed a sitcom role that turned her into a teen idol. She also starred on Broadway in her youth.
Khloé, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian Now
We’ve checked in with Kendall and Kylie, but what about older siblings Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian? Well, since their reality series wrapped, all the elder Kardashian siblings have been keeping us up to date on social media. Plus, they’ve signed on for a new Hulu show.
Perhaps most importantly, Kourt got engaged to drummer Travis Barker. As far as we know, Khloé is not currently with Tristan (hooray). However, Kimmy has been spotted holding hands with comedian Pete Davidson.
Khloé, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian Then
Thanks to their years on our TV screens and smartphones, we’ve seen tons of pictures of the Kardashians as kids. Our favorite era is probably moody Kim and Kourt in the ’90s — so many chokers.
Here, we have the three Kardashian sisters posing together. Khloé is in the center with curly hair, and Kim and Kourt are sporting rather fetching matching bobs. These kids have been perfecting their poses from an incredibly young age.
Jamie Lynn and Britney Spears Now
Now, this is a rather controversial entry on our list of celebrity siblings. Currently, popstar extraordinaire Britney Spears is fighting to be free of an abusive conservatorship. For over a decade the singer’s career, personal life, medical decisions, and estate have all been controlled by her father, Jamie.
Now that she’s spoken out after years of silence, the star has been very critical of her family. As for Jamie Lynn, she’s said, “Since the day I was born, I’ve only loved, adored, and supported my sister.”
Jamie Lynn and Britney Spears Then
The Spears family was based in the Mississippi Bible Belt. A young Britney sang in the church choir and started performing at a young age. She first started attending dance lessons at age three. After that, she went on to win multiple state-level gymnastics competitions.
Eventually, the talented child would find herself on the Disney channel. Jamie Lynn made cameos in her sister’s movie and on Nickelodeon shows. Eventually, she landed a deal with the network to star in a show of her own.
Charlie Sheen and Emilio, Ramon, and Renee Estevez Now
Not everyone knows that these famous actors are related. While Charlie and father Martin Sheen mightn’t have kept their original name, they were born into the Estevez family. The most controversial of the bunch is definitely Charlie. However, at one stage he was also the highest-paid actor on TV.
Ramon is an actor and director, and runs Estevez Sheen Productions. Emilio is still acting, recently reprising his role as Coach Gordon Bombay. And Renee is an actress and screenwriter.
Charlie Sheen and Emilio, Ramon, and Renee Estevez Then
Don’t the Sheen Estevez crew look dashing here in their younger years? Unsurprisingly, the Estevez kids got into the business because of their father Martin Sheen, originally named Ramón Estevez. Emilio was an extra on some of his dad’s movies, and wrote his high school play. His dad recalls thinking, “My G-d, he’s one of us.”
Charlie was also interested in the arts as a kid. He and Emilio, and school friends Rob Lowe and Sean Penn, used to make amateur movies together.
Kate and Pippa Middleton Now
The Middleton sisters are now rather dashing ladies, married to very coveted men. That is, if you’re into royalty and race drivers. The world watched as Kate married the UK’s Prince William in 2011 at Westminster Abbey. Now, they have three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
As part of her royal duties, the Duchess of Cambridge works with charities and attends engagements across the world. Pippa got hitched to hedge fund manager and former racing car driver James Matthews in 2016. They have two kids.
Kate and Pippa Middleton Then
When Kate Middleton first came into the public eye, the British press focused on her humble background. Much was made of the fact that her mom, Carole Middleton, had worked as an air hostess. Carole also comes from a family of coal miners. Not so royal!
However, Kate and Pippa’s father, Michael, comes from a wealthy family. Both of the girls attended expensive private schools, including boarding school Marlborough College. Eventually, Kate would meet her Prince Charming at the University of St. Andrews.
Bella and Gigi Hadid Now
Reality TV fans have also had the pleasure of watching a pre-fame Gigi and Bella Hadid. If you haven’t seen them as moody teens in Beverly Hills mansions, we highly recommend it. Now, the stunning sisters are a pair of supermodels.
Bella recently walked in Paris Fashion Week and made headlines with her Cannes couture gown. Gigi has been focusing on her family life. Along with Zayn Malik from One Direction, she welcomed baby Khai in 2020. They have since split.
Bella and Gigi Hadid Then
The beautiful Hadid sisters are the daughters of Dutch model and reality TV personality Yolanda Hadid, and Jordanian-American property developer Mohamed Hadid. Gigi — real name Jelena — was born in California, while Bella was born in Washington. The girls, along with their other siblings, were raised on a ranch in Santa Barbara.
Both Bella and Gigi rode horses in their younger years, and Gigi was captain of the volleyball team. In this throwback snap, they’re posing with little brother, Anwar.
Cole and Dylan Sprouse Now
What would Hollywood do without their many sets of talented twins? Cole and Dylan Sprouse have been working since their youths, and are still entertaining audiences today. Cole has been playing Jughead Jones since 2016, and appeared in various movies.
He also produced and starred in his own podcast. Meanwhile, Dylan Sprouse has also continued to act, though he’s not as high profile as his brother. After their intense period of child stardom, he spent four years at college getting a degree in video game design.
Cole and Dylan Sprouse Then
We just can’t resist those identical little faces! The boys were just eight months old when they shared their first role on TV. Their grandma was a drama teacher and actress and thought they’d be good for the business.
For the next while, the boys appeared together in a bunch of movies and TV shows. This worked great for everyone involved. Because of child labor laws, it’s easier to film with two people that can fill the role of one child.
Paris and Prince Jackson Now
Before they were even born, Paris and Prince Jackson have had the eyes of the world on them. Now, Paris Jackson is making a name for herself in the industry.
In a recent interview, eldest sibling Prince commented, “Any moment I get to spend with my siblings now, especially as we’re getting older and our own lives are starting to kind of blossom and grow, every moment that I get with them — any little family dinner, any little family outing — is really a special moment for me.”
Paris and Prince Jackson Then
Michael Jackson welcomed his first child, son Michael Joseph Jackson Jr — or Prince — in 1997. One year later. Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson arrived. Amusingly, MJ and socialite Kathy Hilton made a pact at one point to name their daughters Paris. That’s how we have both Paris Hilton and Paris Jackson!
The Jackson kids, along with sibling Blanket (pictured), were raised solely by their father. Their childhood home was Neverland Ranch and Paris and Prince’s godparents are Elizabeth Taylor and Macauley Culkin.
Tracee Ellis Ross and Evan Ross Now
Unlike some of the other entries of this list, there’s a bit of an age gap between these famous siblings. Both Tracee Ellis and Evan Ross are the kids of Motown singer Diana Ross. However, Tracee’s dad is music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, and Evan’s is Norwegian businessman Arne Næss Jr.
The pair has a 15-year age gap. Here, actress, singer, and TV host Tracee poses with actor and musician Evan. They’re joined by Evan’s wife, singer Ashlee Simpson.
Tracee Ellis Ross and Evan Ross Then
We have a couple of cute pictures of these two over the years. On the left, we can see a much younger Evan waiting impatiently for a group shot to be taken. On the right. Tracee is 31 years old, while Evan is just 16.
Tracee was born in LA in the ’70s and has two other full sisters. When her mom married Evan’s dad, she gained three step-siblings. Evan grew up in Connecticut and has half-siblings from his dad’s other marriages.
Chris, Luke, and Liam Hemsworth Now
Let’s close up our list of famous siblings with a strong and handsome entry — the Hemsworth brothers. Eldest brother Luke mightn’t be as well-known as his actor brothers, but he’s still had some great roles. Then, there’s middle brother, Chris, who’s perhaps best known for playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Finally, there’s Liam, who might be best known for playing part in Katniss Everdeen’s love triangle, as Gale Hawthorne. Besides their work, these hunky Australian brothers are loved for their looks.
Chris, Luke, and Liam Hemsworth Then
All three of the Hemsworth brothers were born in Melbourne, Australia. However, they also spent some time in the Outback. Chris has said, “My earliest memories were on the cattle stations up in the Outback […] probably my most vivid memories were up there with crocodiles and buffalo.”
Chris, Luke, and Liam all starred in popular Australian soap operas while still living in their home country. Eventually, Chris and Liam moved to the US in 2009 to break into Hollywood.
