According to Allie Hagan, an American writer and critic, the obsession with celebrity children is a new phenomenon that kicked off with the help of the media and the internet.
With this in mind, kids of celebrities worldwide make headlines with anything they do. The celebrity status of their parents rub off on them and most times, they use it as leverage to kick-start their own careers.
From Jay Z and Beyonce’s Blue Ivy, Will and Jada Smith’s Jaden and Willow to Prince William and Kate‘s George Alexander Louis, celebrities all over the world flaunt their adorable kids.
While some of the kids have started showing early signs of interest in the showbiz world, others bask in the stardom that comes with being a celeb kid but stay away from being fully involved in the industry.
