celebrity kids

Before this pigtail pip-squeak was making a new name for herself by acting in popular movies, she was just another runt in ribbons growing up in Miami, Florida.

This cute kid launched her career when she starred alongside the Academy Award-winning lead actor from a police driven drama set in Los Angeles. She has shown range for her comedic abilities as well as when she played Will Smith's love interest in an endearing romantic comedy.

Now, she is married -- with two daughters -- to one of Hollywood's hottest heartthrobs who she met on the set of one of her films.

Before this talented youngster was starring in a television show adaptation of a popular teen novel, she was just another pretty little kid showing off her singing skills in Memphis, Tennessee.

This curly-headed cutie is best known for her mysterious role among a group of friends hiding lots of secrets. She has also shined on the big screen in some scary thriller films including 'Fantasy Island' and 'Truth or Dare?'

This triple threat has also been very vocal about her love for music since she got her start on a reality singing show back in 2003.

Bow Wow is a father again ... he just revealed Instagram model Olivia Sky recently gave birth to his first son.

The rapper and reality TV producer ended speculation about his rumored secret child Thursday, confirming what many fans were already starting to piece together ... he's the father of Olivia's bundle of joy.

Bow Wow just posted this adorable photo of his boy, nearly a week after Olivia hinted Bow Wow was the dad -- and he tells us he's welcoming his "Prince Bow."

Olivia sent the rumor mill into overdrive Friday when she posted a photo of the baby with the caption "My Dog For Life" ... and fans were quick to point out they thought the kid looked an awful lot like Bow Wow.

For his part, Bow Wow seemingly hinted the boy was his in his new song, "D.W.M.O.D," which is short for "Dealing With My Own Demons."

Bow Wow said the answers where there in the song, and he rapped about telling his daughter Shai Moss she has a brother ... "Shai asking about a brother, I don't know what to say. That's gone be one of them talks we have face-to-face. I'm looking in his eyes, I'm trying to see me in him. I'm peeping out his swag, and I see the resemblance."

Now Bow's made it clear, the boy is his.

Gigi Hadid's year just got a helluva lot better .... she's officially a MOM!!!

Gigi gave birth to her and Zayn Malik's first child together ... a baby girl.

Zayn is over the moon. He shared an adorable snap of his hand around his little one's, and said, "The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding." He also assured everyone that their little bundle is 'Healthy & beautiful."

It was just a few weeks ago the supermodel showed off her growing baby bump. She looked pretty damn angelic and glamorous. In one of her pics, she simply captioned it, "Growing an angel :)"

She also posted a series of photos with the date July 26 ... probably the date she shot those pics. In another post, she cradled her belly and said, "Cherishing this time. Appreciate all the love & well wishes. Will never forget creating these special images with my friends @luigiandiango @gabriellak_j @erinparsonsmakeup thank you. I love you!"

TMZ broke the story ... Gigi was around 20-weeks pregnant when we reported the news back in April. Though, at first, she didn't come out and say it herself ... only dropping hints.

Like during her 25th birthday party celebration ... when Gigi flaunted big 2-5 balloons that also had blue and pink ribbons attached. She also posted pics about dining on spicy vodka sauce, with a twist -- she wrote, "but have no vodka... so without, but still gooood." See? Hints.

It wasn't until an appearance on Jimmy Fallon when Hadid finally fessed up.

Congrats!!!

Before this graduation guy was getting nominated for Academy Awards, he was just a scholar sweetie growing up in Manhattan, New York.

This cap and tassel kid gained widespread recognition for his portrayal of Elio in this successful film adaptation of a novel set in Italy. This peachy pip-squeak became one of the youngest people nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award ... even though he lost the Oscar win to Gary Oldman for his role in "Darkest Hour."

Oscar De La Hoya's stunning 21-year-old daughter, Atiana, says she's out to make a name for herself outside of the boxing world ... telling TMZ Sports she's working to blaze her own trail as the next big model!!

Remember, looks run in the family -- Atiana's mom is former Miss USA Shanna Moakler ... and ODLH ain't too bad lookin' himself.

We spoke with Atiana about her own career ... and she says it's off to a hot start!!!

"It's going great!," ADLH tells us. "Kinda ready to branch out and start a whole new path, so we'll see where it goes. Got some exciting stuff I'm working on."

We asked if having a legendary boxer as her pops has any perks in the modeling industry ... and Atiana makes sure to point out she still has to be great in order to succeed.

"I always like to say it opens doors but it doesn't get you through them."

While she won't spill the beans on any of her current projects, one look at Atiana's Instagram shows she's already got huge brand deals with companies like Too Faced Cosmetics ... so she's off to a great start!!

Naturally ... we had to ask some questions about Oscar's big boxing comeback ... and Atiana is 100% confident her dad will open a can of Whoop Ass when he gets back in the ring.

"I think it's amazing! I'm so excited for him. Think it's gonna be great."

As for ODLH being 47 ... Atiana ain't worried one bit.

"Absolutely not! He's got this. I'm so confident in him. It's gonna be great!"

Kroy Biermann says he doesn't give a crap what "uneducated" people think about his daughter, Brielle, sitting on his lap in a photo, and his wife's reaction is even harsher.

We got Kroy, Brielle and Kim Zolciak-Biermann Thursday at LAX, and asked them about the recent online backlash to Brielle posting a pic of herself sitting on Kroy's lap while celebrating his birthday.

The disgusting comments were pretty swift, and typical for the Internet, with trolls wondering if Brielle slept with her stepdad. Ya couldn't blame Kroy if he's pissed about it, but watch ... he's surprisingly calm and cool. Kroy told us he knows its just "ignorant" idiots with too much time on their hands.

Brielle, though, was still visibly heated, and told their haters to "get a f**king job." She also wanted everyone to know -- Kroy's an incredible man and father.

Remember, Kroy -- who married Kim back in 2011 -- filed paperwork 2 years later to legally adopt Kim's 2 daughters from a previous relationship.

Steven Spielberg's daughter no longer has to worry about her domestic violence case ... because TMZ's learned it's been tossed.

A spokesperson with the Office of the Attorney General in Nashville tells TMZ ... Mikaela Spielberg successfully completed court-ordered counseling classes after her February arrest. We're told Mikaela had already been attending counseling since October 2019, but the focus of her weekly classes changed following her arrest. We're told the final report was very good ... resulting in the judge dismissing her domestic violence case.

As we reported ... Mikaela was arrested following an argument with her BF after returning home from a bar. She allegedly erupted and hurled objects at him after he said something "rude" to her.

Cops observed a visible injury on the BF -- dry blood on his hand and a swollen wrist -- and determined Mikaela was the aggressor.

Before this baby in a bow was an epic entrepreneur on the cover of numerous magazines, she was just another silly sweetie having fun in sunny Los Angeles, California.

This tiny tot is the youngest sibling in one of the most famous families today, but that hasn't stopped her from building her own business and brand that isolates her from the rest. She has made millions off makeup ... all while being a working mom to a growing baby girl that she shares with a hit rapper.

These lips were made for a duck face!

Mikal Smith -- son of ex-NFL head coach Lovie Smith -- was arrested in Arizona this week after officials say he's been pimping, TMZ Sports has learned.

The 43-year-old -- who served as an assistant coach under his father with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Bucs -- was booked on Thursday for a slew of disturbing charges.

Officials tell TMZ Sports ... Smith is facing everything from pandering (another word for pimping) along with receiving earnings from a prostitute and sex trafficking.

He's also facing charges of money laundering and conspiracy.

The details surrounding the case are unclear -- we're working on it.

Mikal was a former college football player at the University of Arizona back in the day before getting into coaching.

He worked as an assistant coach with the Chicago Bears when his father was the head guy over there ... and later followed Lovie to the Tampa Bay Bucs, where he worked with defensive backs.

Mikal also coached at Trinity International University before working at the NFL level.
