Celebrity Kids Who Look Just Like Their Parents
It's expected that the offspring of someone is going to look like their parents at least a little bit. That is unless the parents choose to adopt. Excluding the exceptions, there are those children who resemble both or at least one of their parents almost identically.
There are plenty of celebrity children who look just like their parents. You might know of some cases, but you might be seeing double by the end of this list.
Diddy Number 2
Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Puff, or Diddy, as he's now more commonly known as has a son that looks like his clone. Christian Combs is now known by his rap name, King Combs, and he gets everything from his old man. Diddy has a handful of children, but Christian is the only one that resembles him this much.
Born in 1998, Christian will be turning 21 in 2019. If you know anything about Diddy, then you know he's probably already planning his son's 21st party to be the biggest party of the year.
Madonna Prides Herself As A Good Mother
Madonna might have had some failures in past relationships, but that doesn't deter her from being a great mother, something she takes pride in. She and her daughter Lourdes Leon have been spotted out together on many different occasions.
The two often dress alike as well. That makes sense knowing that Madonna had her own unique style when she was the hot thing. That style has rubbed off on Lourdes as she has her own fashion line.
She Has Her Father's Genes
When Beyonce announced for the first time that she was pregnant, America stood still. One of the biggest stars the world has seen was going to have her first child with arguably one of the best rappers to ever to live. It was a great ordeal.
Then the couple announced the baby's name as Blu Ivy Carter and that made people scratch their heads. As she's grown up, she's captured the hearts of many and is looking more and more like her father, Jay-Z. We wonder if Beyonce wanted her to resemble her more.
Denzel And John David Washington
Denzel Washington is a professional by all means. He still takes acting classes to keep his skills sharp, and there isn't a role that he hasn't brought his all. It's safe to assume he's passed down these great values to his two children.
Malcolm Washington and John David Washington are the names of his two sons, but the one we're highlighting is John David. You can see the resemblance but also look at the differences. His facial features make him appear to be a more mature version of his father at such a younger age.
Faith Hill and Audrey McGraw
Country icons Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have three beautiful daughters together, but it's their youngest, Audrey Caroline McGraw, who has been gaining the most attention lately. Audrey is now in her 20s and the power couple is sad to see her leave the household.
Her father said of his three daughters, "They had had such a great role model in their mother to model themselves after to go out and face the world as a woman because of who was involved in raising them."
Vivienne Is The Perfect Combo Of Both Gorgeous Parents
The world has been obsessed with Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt since she was born in 2008. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have several beautiful children, including Vivienne's twin brother Knox. As she's grown up, people can't help but notice how much she looks like her famous parents.
Brad has said that he thinks Vivienne looks just like her mother Angelina, and that twin brother Knox looks just like him. But we can strongly see the resemblance to both parents in Vivienne!
Violet Is Pretty Much Her Mom
Jennifer Gardner has a daughter that looks spot on like her already, and she isn't fully grown. Say hello to Violet Affleck who isn't even a teenager yet. Born in 2005, Violet dons the last name of her father Ben and not her mother.
At such a young age, she's almost as tall as her mother already. When the both of them wear their glasses together, it's adorable to see how much Violet resembles her mom.
Streep's Daughter Might Really Be Her Twin
Many people debate if Meryl Streep is the best actress of this generation. And she is definitely worthy of such debates. She hasn't missed a beat in her decades of acting and decided to create an offspring that looks strikingly like her.
During a trip to London for one of Meryl Streep's movie releases, Mamie Gummer displayed many of her mother's mannerisms. She did the closed lips while glaring up at the sky and a soft look at the ground.
Big Willie and Little Jaden
Will Smith has been one of the best personalities in Hollywood for a few decades now. From the Fresh Prince to Pursuit of Happyness, Smith hasn't failed to keep his fans happy. And with him joining Instagram not too long ago, now his audience gets more chances to catch up with him.
He also has children that are attempting to pave their own way in the entertainment industry. His son that he's done a handful of movies with is Jaden Smith. Jaden does music just like his father, and the two have an uncanny resemblance.
Clint Eastwood's Son Looks Just Like Him
Clint Eastwood grew up in the old-school. He's one of Hollywood's original tough guys that's still remaining. After playing in an insane amount of Western films, Eastwood figured it would be time to pass on his legacy to someone else.
That's what Scott Eastwood is here for. Scott is literally the spitting image of his father. It's almost creepy. He even carries the same value as his dad. "My father's definitely old-school. And he raised me with integrity – to be places on time, show up and work hard."
Twins Inspired Since A Young Age
If Ricky Nelson was anything, he was a great rock star, and he was a significant influence on his young twin sons, Gunnar, and Matthew Nelson. That and add in the fact that his genes are all over the twins, all three look alike.
"I was sitting on an apple crate watching my father perform at Knott's Berry Farm," Gunnar recalled. "I was 2 and a half. I thought, 'Wow, that's my dad, and he's having a great time, and all those people he is playing for are having a great time. I want to do that.'"
Bronny Jr Gets It From His Dad
LeBron James has been making a name for himself since a freshman in high school. And as he's aged, he's only become more of an icon. With his latest move to the Los Angeles Lakers, he's planning on life after the NBA early.
But before then, he's still molding his son, LeBron James Jr aka Bronny. Bronny not only looks like his father, but he has the skills to match. James plans to play one year with his son before he retires. "You want to ask me what is the greatest achievement of my life? If I'm on the same court as my son in the NBA. That would be number one in my lifetime as an NBA player," James said.
Katie Holmes Loves Her Daughter, Suri
Katie Holmes' daughter, Suri just turned 12 in 2018, and the mom celebrated her daughter as any proud mom would. Holmes cherishes her daughter a lot and wants her mini-me to have an innocent young life. Well, as much as she can get.
"My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now," Holmes said. "It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood. I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there's nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed."
Willow Could Pass For Jada's Sister
Jaden Smith looks like his old man, Will. Willow lucked up and received her mother's gorgeous looks. Jada Pinkett Smith has done an awful lot in the entertainment world dating back to the early '90s. These days, she's focused more on her talk show and being a mom to her kids.
Willow isn't much into the acting scene like her mother, but she instead follows the footsteps of her musician father. Remember when a young Willow told the world she whips her hair back and forth?
Sean Still Feels His Dad
Having a legendary father as a dad whose life was taken too soon must come with its ups and downs. Sean Lennon, son of John, feels like his dad is still around. If he looks in the mirror, it should feel like looking at a picture of his dad directly.
"People ask me, 'Do you feel like he's still around?’ And he is, man," Lennon says proudly. He’s alive in his music, in my life. Sometimes I walk into a store and hear him singing – ‘Instant Karma’ is playing – and I feel like that’s him talking to me.”
Kim And Her Baby Twin, North
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been together for quite some time now. In 2013, the couple finally had their first child, North West. In the past several years she's been alive, North has grown more into looking like her mother, Kim.
Although she might have her mother's looks, she sometimes displays her father's characteristics. Such as shunning off the paparazzi. As of 2018, she's only five, but we're sure the more she grows, the more Kim's looks and personality will come out in her.
Its In The Eyes
His name was Benjamin Keough, and he had the same sleepy look about his face that his grandfather had. We had to make an exception to this list and put someone's grandchild because although Elvis' daughter has similar looks, Keough could have done time for his grandfather's crime, they looked so similar.
Keough stepped out into the public on occasion, but not often. When he did, fans are fast at acknowledging the similarities between the two. Keough sadly passed away on July 12, 2020 at the age of 27. The Presley genes are strong, indeed!
Mel Gibson And Milo Gibson
Mel Gibson first rose to fame playing Max Rockatansky in Mad Max. Before long the Australian actor was an American movie staple. In the '80s and '90s he became an action icon, and he also became a father. Gibson has seven children, and none look more like him than son Milo.
Milo Gibson is also and actor, but it took him awhile to decide to follow in his famous fathers footsteps. Born in 1990, Milo made his acting debut in 2016's Hacksaw Ridge, a critically acclaimed war film directed by his father that starred Andrew Garfield.
The Apple Of Gwyneth's Eye
Apple Martin is just a tiny version of her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow. And when Paltrow had Apple over 12 years ago, a day hasn't gone by where she hasn't appreciated her daughter. She has the looks of her mother but the musical talent of her dad.
On Apple's recent birthday, Gwyneth had a heartfelt message on her Instagram. "Happy birthday, my darling girl," she started. "You make everyday feel like Christmas morning. You are the most vibrant, hilarious, twirling all over the place, beautiful (inside and out) young woman."
The Resemblance Is Shocking
Reese Witherspoon and daughter Ava Philippe have a ton in common besides their looks. Not only can these two pass for twins, but they are also best friends. Witherspoon noticed from a young age that her daughter was like her and a caring person.
"I think the way Ava and I are most alike is our strong opinions and our empathy," she explained. “From the time that she could speak, Ava has always had her own ideas, and I love to watch her express herself.”
Making A Way For His Son
If you know anything about Ice Cube, then you're aware the mogul had a rough upbringing in Los Angeles. Part of his early life was documented in the movie Straight Outta Compton. Cube has worked endlessly to build the life he has now and his son is here to reap the benefits.
O'Shea Jackson Jr. acknowledges the sacrifices his dad has made for him. “It’s nothing like the way that I grew up, and that’s all because of my father’s hard work," O'Shea said. "The understanding of that is something that they [parents] have embedded into all of us kids.”
Bulking Up Like His Old Man
It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger is building up another champion like himself! Not only does his son Joseph Baena look like his dad in the face, but his body is starting to level up to his dad's physique as well. Baena is only 20 as of 2018, so he's still got a lot of growing to do.
For his birthday, Arnold posted a picture of the two together and made a sweet caption. "Happy birthday Joseph! You’re a fantastic son and a great training partner. You get stronger and smarter every year, and I’m so proud of you. I love you."
Her Mother's Child
If there's one positive note about Kris Jenner that people need to acknowledge, then it's the fact that she does work hard for her children. It's no secret that that work ethic rubs off at least a little bit on her daughters. Kendall Jenner looks like her mother and grinds like her too.
"Kendall is really satisfied on her role in KUWTK," Kris said. "With her modeling career she's so busy. If she's not walking a runway, she's shooting a campaign or traveling around the world with her fashion obligations. She's a pretty busy little girl."
Jamie Lee Curtis And Janet Leigh
Jamie Lee Curtis got an early start in the acting world, as both her mother and her father were actors. Jamie Lee's mother, Janet Leigh, was discovered when she was eighteen years old and starred in many films, such as Little Women, and Angels in the Outfield.
Janet Leigh gave birth to Jamie Lee in 1958. Her marriage to Jamie's father, Tony Curtis, was often talked about as their marital problems and subsequent divorce played out in Hollywood for all to see. The two women share a striking resemblance to one another.
SEAL and His Son Henry
Although British singer and songwriter Seal and supermodel Heidi Klum aren't married anymore, they undoubtedly have a beautiful family together. That includes their son Henry Gunther Adomel Dashtu Samuel, one of three children the once-power couple share together.
It's clear that Henry has taken on the good looks of both of his famous parents, but looking at his photo alongside his father's, when he was a young boy, the genetics are undeniable. Compared to his father's dapper suit, however, Henry is able to enjoy a more relaxed, fashion-oriented lifestyle.
Celine Dion and Her Son Rene Charles Angelil
Artist Celine Dion's first son, Rene Charles Angelil, is now seventeen years old. His father and namesake, Rene Angelil tragically passed away in January 2016 due to complications of cancer, but Rene's path is strongly influenced by both parents.
Looking at Rene alongside his mother Celine you can see the resemblance in their facial features. He also shares a love of music and has recorded several rap songs. Rene said when he played his tracks for his mother, "She was just kind of stunned at first, because she'd never heard anything from me. It was kind of a weird conversation."
Rohan Marley and Bob Marley
Although it was cut short, reggae artist Bob Marley lived an influential life. The Jamaican singer-songwriter became a cultural icon with the Wailers. Before passing away at the age of 36, Marley fathered several children (most sources name eleven) including Rohan, who was born in 1972.

Rumer Willis and Bruce Willis
While many people will point out how much Rumer Willis resembles her mother Demi Moore, it's worth comparing her photo alongside her father's, Bruce Willis. Rumer is another young actress born into the limelight with two famous parents.
Now 30-years-old, she's followed in their footsteps, landing roles in many films and playing recurring roles on 90210 and most recently, Empire. She's no doubt made both of her parents proud and carries on both Demi and Bruce's good looks.

Heather Locklear was an '80s icon who charmed her way into America's hearts with Dynasty and Melrose Place, during the filming of which she married Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. Locklear and Sambora welcomed daughter Ava Sambora in 1997.
At the ripe age of 21, Ava Sambora is turning out to be a carbon copy of her beautiful mother. Ava is an aspiring model and actress who made her film debut in This is 40. However, it seems that Ava's main concerns is the behavior of her troubled mother, who for a while has struggled with substance abuse.
Dhani Harrison and George Harrison
What would The Beatles be without George Harrison? The man's songwriting and guitar talent helped the band become iconic. All that talent had to overflow somewhere and luckily, it all went right to his son, Dhani. Dhani Harrison was born in 1978 to George and Olivia Harrison.
George sadly passed away in 2001, but Dhani has held the torch to keep his the Harrison music gene alive. The younger Harrison is a professional musician who in 2013, began his career as a composer. He contributed to Warner Bros.' Beautiful Creatures and has gone on to score a number of TV shows.
Zoe Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson

In 1980, Jackson married LaTanya Richardson, who is also in the entertainment business, and the couple had one daughter in 1982, Zoe.
Growing up with two parents in the same industry, it's no surprise that Zoe would follow in their footsteps. Zoe has produced six television shows so far and was even nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.
Emma Roberts and Eric Roberts (with Aunt Julia)
Eric Roberts is another '80s star who charmed us in hit moves such as King of Gypsies and Star 80. In 1991, he had a daughter named Emma with his then-girlfriend, Kelly Cunningham. Emma has become an actress herself, debuting in 2010's Blow.
Emma is definitely growing up with her father's features, but many think she is becoming a spitting-image of her aunt, Eric's sister, Julia. The resemblance is uncanny and Roberts has clearly inherited her father and aunt's love of acting. Emma co-starred with Aunt Julia in 2010's Valentine's Day, but they shared no scenes together.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's Twins
For a good ten years of her career, Jennifer Lopez was married to fellow Latin singer Marc Anthony. Within those ten years, in 2008, Lopez gave birth to twins: Maximilian David and Emme Maribel Muñiz (which is Marc Anthony's real last name).

At 19-years-old, people can't help but notice how Phoenix is looking to be the spitting image of her mother during her Spice Girls day. It may be too soon to tell if she'll enter entertainment like her mum, but she does already have quite a following on Instagram.
Jessica and Maxwell Simpson
Jessica Simpson began her career as a pop singer at the young age of sixteen. Her song "I Wanna Love You Forever" came out in 1999 and from there she has been forever in the public eye. During her singing career, Simpson made the transition to acting – sort of. When she married fellow pop artist Nick Lachey, they started a reality series about their marriage, but it didn't work out.
Since then Simpson has moved on and has acted in some films before focusing on her shoe line. She has since remarried and in 2012 gave birth to her first child Maxwell.

In 1987, he had a daughter named Jane with then-wife Melissa Womer. Carrey has largely kept his family life out of the public eye as he continued to do some of his most memorable work throughout the '90s.
But in 2012, America got a glimpse of Carrey's grown-up daughter Jane when she auditioned for American Idol. Though she didn't win the competition, the fact that she tried out shows that she might have a bit of a performance bug in her also.
Jason Ritter and John Ritter
John Ritter was someone we all felt like we could live with after he played Jack Tripper on Three's Company from 1977 to 1984. He has received a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role, later going on to act on Broadway before transitioning back to television.
Six days before he was to turn 55 in 2003, Ritter died of heart complications. His son Jason was born in 1980 and has continued his father's legacy in absentia. Jason is known for his role on Parenthood but made his debut on camera on the opening credits of Three's Company.

She met fellow model Paul Qualley, who is also a rancher. They had daughter Rainey in 1990. It seems that Rainey wants to be in the spotlight just like her mother. She has already forged a singing and acting career, which shouldn't be hard when she has her mother's stunning looks.
