celebrity kids

American actress Bianca Santos was in her 20s when she played Casey -- one of the pretty, nice girls in the friend group -- in the rom-com film "The DUFF" back in 2015.

Santos hit the big screen with Mae Whitman, Bella Thorne and Robbie Amell.

Time is flying ... Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter, Chicago West, is 8 years old today ... and Kim is marking the occasion with a super sweet social media post and some cute photos of them together.

Kim shared 20 photos Thursday of her and Chicago over the years, and they've clearly done a lot together. There's even some cameos from Chicago's older siblings.

Proud mom Kim captioned the post ... "Happy birthday to my sweet baby girl Chicago! 8 years old is just so big! Where did the time go?! You bring so may laughs and cart wheels into our world. I love you soooo much my special Chi Chi !"

Before this bundled-up kid in her scarf turned into a famous musician, she was just growing up in South Korea, dancing in ballet class ... and dreaming of becoming a huge star!

You know her from BLACKPINK, but she's also ventured out on her own ... "Like Jennie!"

Before this adorable baby turned into a shining star, he was just growing up in the Philippines before moving to the States at 16 years old ...

He's best known for "Crazy Rich Asians," but you may've seen him on "Chelsea Lately" or "Superstore."

Kelly Clarkson is opening up about how she's helping her kids cope following the loss of their father, Brandon Blackstock, and it's all about togetherness.

During a recent Q&A posted on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" YouTube channel, the singer shared that her favorite daily joy is spending quiet time with daughter River and son Remy. When asked what lifts her spirits each day, Kelly's answer was to snuggle.

Kelly explained her kids are at a sweet spot where they're independent, but still love cuddling, and after everything the family has been through, she's been letting them sleep in her bed more often.

Masika Kalysha seemingly blasted Fetty Wap online ... but, she says she's honestly glad he's home -- just so long as he doesn't let their daughter down.

We caught up with the "Love & Hip Hop" star in Los Angeles Friday ... and, we had to ask her about how she's really feeling that her ex has been released from prison early.

ICYMI ... Masika shared a series of posts on X seemingly ripping FW right after he got out -- including one which read, "1st day out and still a bitch ass n****."

Ashley Tisdale looks super serious about bailing on a "toxic mom group" ... because she was just spotted in public for the first time since the drama started unfolding ... and she's on a solo mission.

Check out this photo of Ashley running errands in Malibu ... no moms, friends, or kids in sight!!!

As you know, Ashley spilled some serious tea last week when a piece she wrote about a falling out with her mom group landed in The Cut on New Year's Day ... which led online sleuths to speculate she was referring to Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore.

Before this girl turned into a popular actress, she was just growing up in Ireland with her three siblings and dreaming of becoming a star!

Her big breakthrough role was starring on the show "Derry Girls," but you may also recognize her as the daughter of a rich family on "Bridgerton."

Meghan Trainor's husband Daryl Sabara is denying there's any drama between his wife and Ashley Tisdale ... claiming there's no beef from his side and wishing the actress all the best.

We caught up with the former child star while he was leaving Alan Cumming's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Thursday afternoon ... and, we had to ask about Tisdale's recent essay that called out toxic members of a mom group she once belonged to.

Online sleuths have alleged Trainor, Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore were all part of this group ... though Tisdale's rep denied it to us -- and, Daryl's comments seem to back up the claim.

Hilary Duff's husband, Matthew Koma, seemingly threw some major shade at Ashley Tisdale after she revealed she left a "toxic" mom group that fans speculated included Hilary, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor.

Check out his Instagram post from Tuesday night -- the Winnetka Bowling League frontman shared a photo of himself mimicking Ashley's The Cut cover photo and mocked up a pointed headline that read ... "A mom group tell all through a father’s eyes: When You’re the Most Self-Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers." He sarcastically added ... "Read my new interview with @thecut." Ouch.

As you know, his side-eye comes after Ashley penned a personal essay for The Cut in which she spoke about leaving an allegedly unsupportive mom circle that made her feel like they were back in high school because they left her "feeling hurt, drained or left out." Fans were quick to speculate she was speaking about the group that included Hilary, Mandy, Meghan and others who she was pictured with a handful of times after she became a mom in 2021.

Notably, Ashley's rep told TMZ the speculation is completely false, as well as the theory she was turned on because she's Republican -- which we were informed she is not.

Before this cute kid from Cali turned into an Internet star, he was just surfing in the Pacific, playing sports, and making Vine videos when he was in his 20s.

Today, he oftentimes poses shirtless on social media ... You may best recognize him from David Dobrik's "VLOG Squad."

American actress Rebecca Lee Meza was just 10 years old when she was cast as the adolescent Selena Quintanilla -- the aspiring American Tejano singer growing up in Corpus Christi, TX -- in the classic music movie "Selena" back in 1997.

Meza shared the script with Hollywood greats like Jennifer Lopez and Jon Seda.

Ashley Tisdale admits she's bailed on a toxic mom friend group she slipped into ... a clique that might have included some seriously big celeb names like Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor!

The "High School Musical" star didn’t name names, but says it didn’t take long for things to turn ... with Ashley realizing she was being iced out, leaving her feeling like she was back in high school.

In her essay for "The Cut", Ashley says the snubs were constant -- always met with flimsy excuses -- including one brutal moment when the group even planned a girls hang during her own daughter’s birthday!

2:26 PM PT -- North West's Instagram account is now back up. Upon her return, she posted a photo on her story featuring music equipment along with the text, "locking in."

North West’s solo IG has mysteriously vanished -- getting the digital axe less than a month after its debut.

Do a quick search for North West’s IG just three weeks after its launch, and you’ll come up empty ... with a "profile isn't available" message.

As for who pulled the plug? Whether North West bowed out on her own, mom Kim Kardashian or dad Kanye West stepped in, or IG hit delete themselves... it's a mystery.

Before this sweet girl with bangs turned into a super famous model, she was just rockin' her plaid 'fit and growing up in Illinois ...

After storming the runways with her show-stopping looks in the 90s, she hosted the fashion show "House of Style" on MTV. Her two kids have also taken after her -- both models and into fashion.

North West either ate a whole sleeve of Oreos or she just debuted a cool rocker-chic new look ... the 12-year-old popped up on TikTok with black grills.

In the video, posted Saturday, North flaunts an apparently fake piercing through the bridge of her nose, along with blue hair and all-black dental bling.

North also showed off the diamond skull necklace her mom, Kim Kardashian, got her for Christmas.
