celebrity kids

Before this present pipsqueak became a Grammy Award-winning singer and rapper, he was just another excited kid unwrapping all his favorite gifts for the holidays in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.

This gift guy has been making popular Latin tunes for audiences for years ... but he truly became a household name after collaborating with huge A-list artists like Drake and Cardi B. Now, he's made waves in the industry by winning Grammy Awards and being featured during Super Bowl Halftime shows.

Also, this epic performer has been dabbling in the world of WWE as of late.

Iain Armitage is doing quite well for himself outside of his usual revenue stream as the child star of "Young Sheldon" -- he earned another fat payday on his latest animated film.

According to Iain's minor's contract -- filed in L.A. Superior Court and obtained by TMZ -- the 13-year-old actor made at least $100,000 for his work on "PAW Patrol: The Movie" ... but he could have taken home even more than that.

The contract says Iain was paid $10,000 for each recording session he did for the movie ... and the deal says he was guaranteed at least 10 sessions, so there's $100k off the jump.

Iain, who is the voice of Chase in the animated movie, also had contractual bonuses depending on how well the film did at box offices in the U.S. and Canada after being released back in August ... but unfortunately for him, it didn't pan out.

The docs say Iain would have earned a $175,000 bonus if the film reached at least $150 million at the domestic box office ... and there are escalators that could see his total bonus haul reach $1.675 million, again, depending on how many kids drag their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to movie theaters.

However, the flick came up a little short with $130 million at the box office -- so he settled for the six-figure payday. Still a pretty sweet check at 13, or any age, for that matter!!!

Before this Christmas kid was awkwardly entering into the television world, she was just another festive girl hanging her ornaments onto the tree in Los Angeles, California.

This decorating darling isn't unfamiliar with the ins and outs of acting on television ... that's because her famous father has been doing it for decades! He must have taught her tons of his tricks because this actress is a natural on a popular MTV comedy series that ran for 5 seasons.

Now, this blonde beauty is waiting for the release of her newest project in which she stars alongside Kristin Davis.

Before this sweetie with a stuffy was acting and singing on television, she was just another holiday-ready cutie squeezing her stuffed animal tight in Hollywood, Florida.

This cuddly kid got her start as a teenager on some of your childhood favorite television series ... she had made appearances on shows like "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and "iCarly" but her breakout role was for a Nickelodeon comedy starring Jamie Lynn Spears.

After, she scored the lead in a musical sitcom following a group of talented friends showing off their skills at a performing arts academy.

Tiger Woods is back to playing pro golf again -- this after his nasty car wreck -- and he's doing alongside none other than his own ... both of whom have some ground to gain.

Round one of the PNC Championship is underway Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Grande Lakes in Orlando, where TW and Charlie Woods joined forces anew to play in a little father-son competition among other golfers and their kids.

As you can imagine, the fanfare was at an all-time high for the Woods family ... as this marks the first time Tiger has played in an actual tourney of any kind since getting crumpled in his automobile accident in February ... which left his legs shattered.

For Tiger's tee-off, everybody's eyes were on him ... and he hit a pretty decent shot to kick things off, with one guy clearly excited behind him -- shouting, "Welcome back, Big Cat!"

From there, Charlie started getting into his groove as well ... looking like a chip off the old block as he teed off himself with a beautiful drive -- which his dad later sunk with a putt.

From the outset, they were looking pretty good as a team ... but at the moment, they're well behind. As it stands, Team Woods is tied for 13th place as they approach the 11th hole. There's 36 holes total that they'll get through between today and tomorrow, and they're just past the midway point for today's round.

Basically, they're playing from behind right now ... but they have a ways to go before the day's out -- and could easily pull ahead, especially if they play as well as they have been thus far. And, as most everyone knows by now, never count Tiger Woods out.

Bigger picture though -- Tiger is looking fantastic out there ... as is his boy.

It's pretty miraculous to see the guy out here after everything he's been through. He addressed that before hitting the links, writing ... "Although it's been a long and challenging year, I am very excited to close it out by competing in the @PNCchampionship with my son Charlie. I'm playing as a Dad and couldn't be more excited and proud."

As you well know by now, Tiger's been on a long road of recovery since his February crash ... but steadily, he's been rehabbing and getting back onto golf courses. The only question now is ... will he eventually feel good enough to hop back into a solo PGA tournament???

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney are first-time parents, secretly welcoming a little boy into the world last month ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Olivia gave birth on November 24, the day before Thanksgiving, in Los Angeles.

It was back in September when John made the surprising announcement that he and Olivia were expecting, dropping the news during an interview on "Late Night With Seth Meyers."

The interview touched on the ups and downs of John's life over the last year, where he also shared that it was Seth and other close friends who staged an intervention and encouraged him to go back to rehab for several weeks.

Prior to Olivia, John had been married to Anna Marie Tendler from 2014 until they announced they'd split in May 2021, John filed for divorce in July. At the time, reports said Mulaney and Anna had broken up quite some time before the news was made public.

Little boy Mulaney is the first child for both Olivia and John.

Before this animal lover was a staple character on some of the most beloved television shows, she was just another cool cat feline herself for the camera in New York City, New York.

This cuddled-up cute kid got her leading role in an ensemble cast at the young age of 10 years old ... and she remained an important character -- and key member to the dysfunctional family -- in the dramatic comedy series for 10 years.

Now, she's moved on to acting as part of another famous family rebooted from a classic 1988 sitcom.

Before this superhero sweetie was one of the biggest heartthrobs on television, he was just another little Spiderman fan getting all dressed up to save the day in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

This cute kid's spidey senses were tingling to get on the big screen, and when he was cast alongside the Olsen twins, that is exactly what he did. He always had fairly small roles in feature films, but it wasn't until he scored a reoccurring role on "One Tree Hill" that he finally rose to stardom.

Since then, he's appeared on numerous other popular television series.

Before this mini microphone man was making audiences jam out to his memorable music, he was just another cute kid ready for the holidays in Manhattan, New York.

This tiny tot created a career for himself that caused him to fly away with success. He's sold millions of album copies, set a record for his Grammy Awards -- he's won Best Male Rock Vocal Performance 4 consecutive years in a row -- and made a huge impact on the rock and roll world.

He's also tried his hand in acting, being featured alongside Jennifer Lawrence in a huge movie franchise.

The mom of ex-NBA player Corey Benjamin's daughter has been charged criminally in California after allegedly directing her daughter to sucker punch an opponent during a H.S. hoops game.

44-year-old Latira Shonty Hunt was hit with 2 misdemeanor charges ... battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. If she's ultimately convicted, she faces a year in jail.

While announcing the charges, Orange County DA placed the blame right on the mother's shoulders, saying “In my opinion, it would have not happened, but for mom’s words."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the girl absolutely decked her 15-year-old opponent, sending her crashing to the hardwood floor.

At the time, police in Garden Grove, CA told us they were investigating the incident. After reviewing the video and talking to witnesses, officials decided to charge Hunt.

While her daughter isn't facing any charges, she has been punished. The league permanently banned her from competing.

As for her former professional hooper dad, Benjamin apologized for his daughter's actions, saying, "As a father, I’m shocked and disappointed at my daughter’s behavior as this is not a reflection of the values and standards that my family holds. Nor does it exemplify the values, character and spirit of sportsmanship that the game of basketball requires.”

Before this giggling girl was lighting up the screen by scoring lead roles in film and television, she was just another precious pipsqueak cheesing for the camera in Los Angeles, California.

This smiling sweetheart may be known for her hilarious role in a classic romantic comedy -- where she acted opposite to the hilarious Will Smith -- but she has stolen the screen in lots of action films as well. She has even starred in a giant video game franchise that was adapted for the big screen.

She has also dabbled in the music industry in her early career, as well.

Master P's 16-year-old son, Mercy, put on an absolutely incredible show ... the kid of the famous music icon just dropped a 40 piece in his first high school game as a sophomore.

Mercy, P's youngest, plays for Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota ... and they were taking on Apple Valley, and they had no answer for him all night.

As you can see in the video, Mercy was in his bag ... scoring in a variety of ways -- attacking the rim, shooting outside the perimeter, and even hitting a few mid-range jumpers.

This should come as no surprise 'cause hoops runs in the family. P had a stint in the NBA back in the day ... and Mercy's brother, Hercy, plays college ball at Tennessee State University.

P tried to warn us about the emergence of Mercy -- who committed to playing at the University of Houston -- telling TMZ Sports his son could have a legendary career like Hakeem Olujawon.

"His favorite teams was University of Houston and Duke," P told us, "That was his final choice and to be able to do that as a young kid right now ... he's blessed," P recently told us.

"A lot of the greats went to University of Houston," P said. Clyde the Glyde, Elvin Hayes, Hakeem Olajuwon and now you got Mercy Miller -- could be on that same wall."

Before this mini mustache man was searching for love on television, he was just another French fella showing off his artistic abilities in Arlington, Texas.

This cultured kid became a fan favorite while putting his heart on the line for roses each week of a reality television series. He proved he was there for all the right reasons but was sent home before he was able to propose. Nevertheless, this is when his real love story began.

Now, this celebrity personality and heartthrob is married to the winning girl with whom he shares three children.

Before this hide-and-seek sweetie was dazzling audiences with her incredible harmonies, she was just another peek-a-boo pipsqueak being goofy for the camera in Cojímar, Cuba.

This cute kid first started her career in music when the tough judge, Simon Cowell, formed an all-girl group on a popular reality television series. It wasn't long before she began her solo career and rose to fame with numerous hits you've jammed out to on the radio.

Recently, this multi-talented singer and songwriter tried her footing in acting with a magical performance in a retelling of a classic Disney cartoon.

Before this little piano player was belting out her beautiful voice to millions, she was just another mini musician getting a feel for the keys in New York, New York.

This overall cutie's talent was hard to ignore for music producers when they discovered her at the young age of 15 years old. She was launched into stardom and has been thriving ever since ... especially by becoming one of the most successful female artists with 15 Grammy Awards (5 which she won in the same year).

With all that success, this girl really is on fire!

There's a new Peter Pan movie that's about to take to the skies next year -- and wouldn't you know it ... their lead Wendy is getting paid handsomely, especially for her age!

Actress Ever Anderson, who's just 14 years old, stands to make at least six figures for her work on Disney's "Peter Pan & Wendy" flick ... a new live-action spin on the classic fairy tale that's due out sometime in 2022.

Like we said ... EA is playing a young Wendy Darling, PP's love interest and the oldest of the Darling children who join Peter on an adventure to Never Land. Unclear if there's a whole lot new or different they're doing this time around ... other than just rebooting the franchise.

In any case, TMZ got a hold of her minor's contract filed with the court -- which spells out what Ever is raking in for this movie ... as well as any sequels that get greenlit. For this film, she's guaranteed $100k ... and there's even a $50k bonus on the table if the movie is released straight to Disney+ without a theatrical run first.

Looks like Disney may have learned its lesson after the ScarJo and "Black Widow" fiasco and is addressing this scenario in the contract.

That's about all there is to be had for this first installment, but if a sequel comes about ... Ever's contract says she could earn at least $200k guaranteed on the next go-around, and if they're in the mood for part 3 -- it'd be a cool $400k right out the gate ... not to mention any bonuses that could be attached to those respective projects.
