Nepotism Babies On The Rise Including Maude Apatow, Jaden Smith, & More!

These up-and-coming nepotism babies are starting to make careers of their own!

It’s a tale as old as time, highly-awarded celebrities have children, and alas, a star is born. Dan Levy, Emma Roberts, and Tracee Ellis Ross are just a few examples of “nepo-babies” we all know and love.

Now, the next generation of nepotism babies has arrived, and we’re here to present you with some up-and-comers to look out for!

Maude & Iris Apatow

Maude and Iris Apatow are daughters of famous director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann. Maude Apatow established herself as a capable actress on HBO’s Euphoria as season two favorite, Lexie Howard. Maude’s little sister Iris has also become a hot topic as of late. Iris is BFFs and roommates with everyone’s favorite teen pop star, Olivia Rodrigo. She starred in Netflix original film The Bubble, released earlier this year. This sister duo is a force to be reckoned with.

Willow & Jaden Smith

Willow and Jaden Smith are no strangers to the spotlight, but we believe their careers are just beginning. As children of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow and Jaden are the nepotism babies of all nepotism babies. Both siblings have immersed themselves in the music scene, collaborating with the likes of Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne, and Justin Bieber, just to name a few. Interestingly enough, both Smith kids dropped their famed last name, going by the mononyms WILLOW and Jaden as artists.
