celebrity kids

Before this plaid pipsqueak was a Hollywood heartthrob starring in movies and television, he was just another cool kid with a popped collar growing up in Toronto, Canada.

This slicked-back hair sweetie got his acting start on family-friendly sitcoms like "Life With Derek" and "True Jackson, VP" ... but now, he doesn't shy away from the big screen. In one high school-set rom-com, he scored on-screens kisses with both Bella Thorne and Mae Whitman.

His most recent Amazon Prime sci-fi, created by Greg Daniels, has gained a lot of popularity as well.

Before this mini monarch with a cool crown was living the life as Hollywood royalty she was just another cute kid playing princess dress up with frilly gowns and sparkly tiaras in Houma, Louisiana.

If you're still feeling stumped about who's behind the jeweled kid maybe you should take a look at some of the hit shows that have been graced with her highness including "Pretty Little Liar," "Daytime Divas" and "The Carrie Diaries."

Even though this little lady has a laundry list of accomplishments in the entertainment industry, the one that's most impressive is her degree from Columbia University.

Here, here!

Los Angeles native Jason Hervey was only 16 years old when he shot to stardom after landing the role of the bully big brother Wayne Arnold -- who regularly ribs on his younger sibling Kevin and gives him rude nicknames -- on the iconic '80s television show "The Wonder Years."

Jason Hervey was cast alongside a now-classic group of actors including Danica McKellar as the girl next door, Winnie Cooper ... and of course Fred Savage as the awkward brother Kevin Arnold.

Before his break on "The Wonder Years," Hervey could be spotted in movies like "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," "Back To The Future" and "Meatballs Part II."

Before this cute kid in a pair of good looking glasses was blocking out Los Angeles sunshine and Hollywood flashbulbs, she was just another shady baby with a bright future growing up in the Big Apple.

Although this small little sprout was only 15 years old when she burst onto the scene with a major role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she's actually aged like a vampire and now looks stuck in time at 34 years old.

If you're still stumped who the cutie is behind the fashionable frames ... hopefully, a little gossip might spark your inspiration.

Before this young man on a mini motorbike was hitting the pavement of Hollywood and riding through life on an easy street as a comedic actor and director, he was just another cool guy hitting the gas on the trails of New Jersey.

It's no surprise that this biker boy is embracing safe motorsports practices because he went on to spend a lot of time around the hospital for nearly 10 years while filming his hilarious doctor comedy.

Don't let this old school style have you seeing red ... hit the gas and try to figure out who's on two wheels.

Before this cutie covered in curlers was a member of one of television's favorite funny families, she was just another sweetie ready for the salon growing up in Manhattan, New York.

This chocolate loving child got her start back in 1997 when she played the role of Howard Stern's daughter in the film 'Private Parts' and later continued her acting career on television. The funny female is the recurring daughter on a show that just ended it's 11th and final season this year ... and previously won Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series 5 years in a row.

Before this class cutie was schooling the competition with her impeccable acting skills and Hollywood empire, she was just another young lady flashing a smile for a formal photo in Washington D.C.

Don't let the classic fashion fool you ... this A-list celebrity can still be seen wearing throwback threads in movies like "Hidden Figures" but is more frequently spotted in cool couture clothes for the cameras.

This smart young person is the proud owner of a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Critics Choice Award ... as well as holds a degree in theater from Howard University.

Before this adorable kid was rocking hairstyles like pixie cuts, cornrows, blonde bobs and even buzzcuts she was just another cute little tot with hair ties growing up in Edison, New Jersey.

Although this mini-musician no longer goes by her real name (Ashley Nicolette Frangipane) she still flashes this same bright smile while performing as a singer and songwriter with a more singular stage name.

You should be sad and sorry if you're still stumped about this cute kid ... take control cause it's now or never if you are going to guess who this sweet kid from the Eastside is.

Before this spiffy kid in a shirt and tie was wearing many different looks as an actor, musician, Hollywood activist and all-around awesome guy he was just another cool kid growing up in Baldwin Hills, California.

While this young man (real name O'Shea Jackson) made his way to fame by expressing himself with his powerful lyrics and a ground-breaking attitude he ultimately traded in his birth name for something a little cooler.

With over 100 movie, television and production credits under his belt it's no surprise that this awesome young man was destined for stardom at a very young age.

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.
