celebrity kids

Before this grinning guy was the father of Latin Caribbean music and Spanish rapping, he was just another smiling sweetie growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

This fashionable fella popularized a new genre of music that he likes to call Reggaeton. As a famed record producer, rapper, singer, and actor, you can't help but wonder how this busy media machine doesn't run out of Gasolina.

One of his singles gained so much popularity that it became the first Spanish song since "Macarena" to hit number 1 and was even remixed by Justin Bieber.

Before this little lady was known for her impeccable fashion sense she was just another posh kid doing the pressing while growing up in Essex, England.

Although this wannabe girl looks great in some kids' clothes and a smile ... once this pop musician in a girl group gained fame she traded in the toddler threads for high-end couture designs and a signature scowl.

The one thing that hasn't changed over the last 46 years was this brunette babe's dark locks ... even though she's more into blunt bobs than baby bangs nowadays.

Before this cool kid kickin' it in a cabin was dwelling in the lap of luxury as a Hollywood star, she was just another cute little girl growing up in Pasadena, California.

While this child of nature was photographed deep in the wild, she may be known best for her role on a CW television show that only featured one tree ... and the perfect pose and smile this little lady is whipping up for the camera is nothing compared to her looks she's now known for as an A-list celeb with big events to attend.

Before this happy little lad was making the world smile with his rocking music and unmatched good looks, he was just another cool kid growing up on the mean streets of the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City.

Even though this well-dressed dude looks good in a pair of overalls ... he turned into a style icon with one-of-a-kind fashion sense and is often spotted on the front row of very important fashion shows.

Try not to let his short hair fool you ... this musician is most recognizable with long beautiful locks.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are attached at the hip again, but only for a moment. At least for now.

We've known the exes have been spending time together while co-parenting True over the past several weeks -- but at a friend's birthday party they looked very cozy again ... with no kid in sight.

In the vid, posted by Tristan's old teammate, Jordan Clarkson ... Khloe and Tristan are standing right next to each other while singing and holding up their phones. Notably, it looks like his arm is around her.

It's not as earth-shattering as those pregnancy rumors -- which were false -- but for these 2, any news is big news. Our sources say the party was going down at Tristan's home in L.A., but despite appearances, they're not back on as a couple.

We're told Tristan sees Khloe and their daughter every day ... and the pandemic has simply given them a chance to hang out more and work on their friendship.

Our sources say they still live separately, though, and insist there's no change to their relationship status ... still just friends and co-parents.

They are together on one thing, though -- we broke the story, Khloe and Tristan threatened to sue a woman for lying and defamation after she made claims he was the father of her child. Their lawyers say that's been proven false, and Tristan did eventually sue her.

Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas are getting the hell outta Los Angeles -- but they ain't flyin' solo -- Ben's kids are comin' along too!

Ben, Ana and at least two of his kiddos were spotted boarding a private jet Wednesday on their way to what we're guessing will be some rest and relaxation. Ana's pooch even made the trip to make it a true bonding experience.

The private jet seems pretty practical during the age of COVID-19, plenty of legroom, personalized service and not to mention some serious social distancing from strangers.

It's unclear where the group is headed ... but the trip isn't the first time we've seen Ben's kids hang with his new gf. Violet, Seraphina and Samuel were seen on a neighborhood stroll with Ben and Ana just last month ... they also brought their dog for some exercise.

Before this bouncing little baby was jumping from television show to television show and ultimately finding her calling as a powerful TV host, she was just another super-cute baby girl growing up in Chicago, Illinois.

While she was just a newborn who had barely opened her eyes in this baby pic ... she gained a clearer view of the world as an actress and Hollywood star.

If you're still having a hard time getting a read on who this adorable infant is, you could always crack open her book, "Permission Slips: Every Woman's Guide to Giving Herself a Break," to get a sneak peek on who's behind the baby photo.

Before this riding runt was dreaming within a dream of being on the big screen and an activist for human rights, she was just another snapback sweetie growing up in Nova Scotia, Canada.

This biker kid is best known for her role as a quick-witted pregnant teen named after a city in Alaska, acting alongside a star-studded cast including Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner. Her future didn't seem bleak after being nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for the part.

With those wheels, it looks like she still knows how to whip it!

Vanessa Bryant is paying tribute to her daughter, Gigi, for her academic accomplishments ... sharing a heartfelt message and a photo of her honorary 8th grade graduation diploma.

"Congratulations on your 8th grade graduation Gigi," Vanessa said on Instagram. "I love you forever and always."

Gigi was a student at Harbor Day School in Corona Del Mar, CA ... and was in the middle of her 8th grade year when she died in the tragic helicopter accident alongside Kobe and 7 others on January 26.

The school honored "Gianna Maria-Onoré Bryant" with a diploma -- and Vanessa was clearly moved by the gesture.

"I’m so proud of you. ❤️, Mommy #classof2020."

Gigi was a standout basketball player with dreams of making it to the WNBA ... and her school retired her #2 jersey at a memorial ceremony in February.

Before this tiny toddler traded in his baby talk for one of the most powerful voices in rap music he was just another cute kid with a New York state of mind growing up in Brooklyn, New York.

You may not recognize him by his birth name (Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones) ... he only shortened the Arabic name once he started his career as an MC and nasty lyricist.

Although he's god's son ... many say it was written in this young man's fate for the rapper to rule the world and now his life is good.

Before this backward hat boy was known for his comedic work ethic, he was just another little lad in a white tee growing up in Waterloo, Iowa.

This hilarious kid got his big break when the web series he created with his two best friends got picked up by Comedy Central. This trio's funny office place antics and stoner humor was so popular that the show ran for 7 seasons.

And, now, this tough guy has moved onto pitch-slapping movies where he has starred alongside Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick, Zac Efron, and many more.

Madonna tried to honor George Floyd by sharing a video of her teenage son dancing to a Michael Jackson song, but social media is a merciless universe ... especially for Madge, these days.

Thursday, before a third night of protests over Floyd's killing was beginning, Madonna released a 3 and a half-minute clip of her son, David Banda, busting moves to MJ's "They Don't Care About Us."

She wrote ... "As news of George Floyds brutal murder travels around the world my son David Dances to honor and pay tribute to George and His Family and all Acts of Racism and Discrimination that happen on a daily basis in America."

While supportive Madge fans applauded the post and were impressed by David's dancing -- the kid is good -- it didn't go over well with a lot of other people ... who blasted her response to the hot-button issue as insensitive and clueless.

April Reign, the activist who created the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, wrote ... "Nobody asked Madonna to weigh in today. Not a soul. Unforced errors among public figures have been rampant this month." Others sarcastically thanked Madonna for "ending racism."

We'll say this ... Madonna's timing was not good. She posted the vid right around the time federal and local prosecutors held their news conference to say they were NOT arresting officer Derek Chauvin yet for Floyd's death. That non-announcement clearly fueled the rage that turned protests into fiery riots Thursday night.

Before this cute kid with a drenched hairdo was making waves in the music industry with her pop song and smooth voice she was just another sweet, little lady with wet hair growing up in London, England.

This curly little kid traded in her blonde swirly hairstyle once she shot to stardom ... and now famously only rocks jet black hair with bob cuts and blunt bangs.

Although her name was super catchy as a kid (real name Jessica Ellen Cornish) she's chosen a much more abbreviated version of her beautiful birth name as a celebrity.

Before this adorable little boy buckled into a cute pair of overalls and had strapped himself into a wild ride as an athlete, rapper, actor, sports commentator ... and even Superman ... he was just another cute kid getting dressed up for a photo in Newark, New Jersey.

Although this side-eye guy hasn't looked back since he shot to fame in the mid-'90s in magical fashion ... he still maintains his child-like playfulness and young spirit in everything he does.

Attack this awesome throwback and see if you can get to the center of who he turned into!

Before this little lady in a lego ride was building a career as a smoking hot actress and riding around on the streets of Hollywood she was just another sweet little girl going for a spin in Spokane, Washington.

Although this pint-sized princess has done a lot of growing to become a 22-year-old star ... she still has been able to hold onto her light-brown locks and perfect complexion.

Now that this wheely cute kid has lego of her good-girl image she's landed roles on shows like "Euphoria," "Handmaid's Tale" and "Sharp Objects."

Before this straight-faced kid grew into a respected actor with roles on long-lasting television shows, she was just another girl showing her serious side growing up in New Jersey.

Although this cute girl was born in 1980 as disco was dying ... she's most recognized for her '70s style looks including high-waisted bell-bottoms, rockin' KISS shirts and Farrah Fawcett inspired follicles.

This little ginger kid has always stayed true to her roots with beautiful red locks ... but can be spotted around Hollywood from time to time showing a bit of her dark side, with some more muted hair colors.
