22 Celebrity Kids Who Look Exactly Like Their Parents

Beautiful people can definitely make beautiful offspring and the resemblance here is uncanny.

There’s a certain allure to celebrities getting together, which seems to be magnified by the celebrity kids that may be borne out of these romances (and occasional dramas).

Sometimes, these children follow in their parents’ footsteps and other times they may rarely be in the public eye. But one thing’s for sure, when there’s a lookalike vibe it can take us right back to the start of a famous relationship (or the search archives, if it was before your time).

Here, we round up 22 examples of celebrities with kids who look just like them.

Naomi Watts and daughter Kai Schreiber, who looks like both her parents.

Naomi Watts, 55, attended Dior’s pre-fall show in New York in 2024, alongside her lookalike youngest daughter Kai Schreiber, 15. The pair were relaxed alongside an all-star front row including Alexandra Daddario, Michelle Williams, Rachel Zegler and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Kai, a student, looked stunning in a skirt and sweater outfit by Dior, while Watts also wore a crisp white dress from the label.

Watts shares Kai and her brother Alexander with ex-partner Liev Schreiber. She is now married to American actor Billy Crudup.

The Maddens attended the premiere of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead in Los Angeles, and there was a clear resemblance between mother and daughter, and father and son.

Harlow (16) appears to have inherited her mother’s hazel eyes and smile, wearing a bandeau top and leather-look flares for the occasion. Likewise, Sparrow (14) resembles his dad, in rocker-style baggy jeans and neck chain, with the same blue eyes. They were pictured with Nicole’s mum, Brenda Harvey-Richie.

The family are rarely pictured in public, with 2024 proving to be the family’s red carpet debut.

Thandiwe Newton and daughter, Nico Parker.

When Westworld star Thandiwe Newton took her then-15-year-old daughter to the Dumbo premiere in 2019, the mother-daughter pair matched in velvet gowns. Not only do the two share a similar sense of style, with Newton in a crimson Oscar de la Renta look and Parker in green Gucci, they also look alike.

Catherine Zeta Jones and daughter Carys Zeta Douglas.

In 2018, the resemblance between Catherine Zeta-Jones and daughter Carys Zeta Douglas caused a stir in the media after they attended the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda women’s couture event at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. More recent photos from Carys’s Instagram reveal they still look very similar – she could practically play a younger Zeta-Jones if there was a movie that called for it.

Liz Hurley's son, Damian Hurley shares her looks and has followed in her footsteps, with a career in showbiz.

He also revealed on the Today show the advice she gave him before starting, “Learn your lines and don’t be annoying.” Liz Hurley posted this snap on Instagram with her son when he was 18 and we had to do a double take!
