celebrity kids

Meghan Markle's baby boy, Archie, is growing up so fast ... it's already a struggle to get him to sit through an entire book. Welcome to toddler town, Meghan!!!

Prince Harry and Megan's firstborn just turned 1, and to celebrate ... Mum put him on her lap for a delightful reading of the popular children's book, "Duck! Rabbit!"

Papa Sussex was behind the camera to capture the adorable moment, but it wasn't long before Archie grew impatient. Meghan was eventually able to rein him back in though. If they think he's fussy now ... wait till he finds out Mom and Dad yanked him out of the royal life! Kidding, we're sure he'll love L.A.

In the end, we all learned something ... and the rebel Royals are reading for a good cause too. Meghan's storytime with her tot helped raise awareness and funds for Save with Stories, which provides learning material, supermarket vouchers and essential household items to families in need amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Good stuff all around ... happy birthday, Archie!!

Before this dolled-up darling was making people laugh as a breakout sitcom star, she was just another brown-eyed beauty with bangs growing up in Los Angeles, CA.

This little lady earned herself eight Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and ended up taking home two wins. She got married to the famous funny fella, Nick Offerman, in 2003 and have since appeared together in many television shows, including the popular NBC mockumentary, "Parks and Recreation."

She recently reprised her most well-known role with her sarcastic attitude and unforgettable voice.

Before this cute kid with an adorable little frowny face was using her mean mug in a supernatural show she was just another princess in pink mean mugging for the camera in England.

This little star trimmed her golden, curly hair for more of a shaved aesthetic after landing her breakout role as a strange character on a throwback sci-fi show on a streaming network.

Since her rise to fame, this scowling scamp can be seen flashing a smile onscreen with credits on shows like "NCIS," "Modern Family," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Godzilla: King of Monsters."

Before this cowboy cutie was making people laugh as a hilarious host, he was just another sweetie in stripes playing dress up in Mount Vernon, Washington.

This playful pip-squeak got his start with his behind-the-scenes coverage for big events, such as the Academy Awards and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," and quickly rose to fame with his funny banter and wit. He is most well known for his commentary on the "Chelsea Lately" roundtable with fellow comedian Chelsea Handler.

You can catch him on the newest episodes of "RuPaul's Drag Race" as a series regular judge.

Yee-haw!

Before this grinning gal was a star in several hit teen television shows, she was just an average kid growing up in Toronto, Ontario.

Originally born in Sofia, Bulgaria this young star got her start at moving around quite young. After her big start in the biz, landing a role on the series "Degrassi: The Next Generation," the actress went on to move to Atlanta, Georgia to work on the CW’s "The Vampire Diaries."

This star now resides in Los Angeles, CA and has been featured in a number of films and television shows since her early days.

Before this adorable little boy with a snake was weeding through news as one of the most influential journalists and television personalities he was just another cool kid with an affinity for creepy critters growing up in New York.

Although he was a super cute kid rockin' a '70s wide collar shirt and interest in scaly creatures ... those blown locks turned grey and now he's more associated with clean tailored suits and animals like a silver fox.

Look deep into those piercing blue eyes and see if you peep which star is in the adorable throwback photo.

Before this little boy with a bowl cut was chopping it up as a huge Hollywood actor with the same beautiful head of hair, he was just another cute little kid growing up in Emmett, Idaho.

This grinning little guy has broken out of his horizontal stripes and traded in the turtlenecks. Now, he has cooked up a much more bad boy A-lister look.

He now only goes by his first and middle name ... and dropped his last name (Sturtevant) on his way to the top of the crop!

Can you look past the chubby cheeks and fresh face to guess which Emmy Award-winning actor is in this old school kid pic?

Two O'Neals are better than one ... just ask the LSU hoops program!

Shaq's 18-year-old daughter, Amirah O'Neal, announced she's headed to Baton Rouge to play basketball for the Tigers next season ... just months after her big bro, Shareef, committed to LSU.

"I am excited to say that I have decided to commit to being a student athlete at LSU along side my brother @shareefoneal," Amirah said on IG.

"I am Sooooo grateful to spend my next 4 years as a Tiger."

Of course, both O'Neals are following in their father's famous footsteps -- Shaq is an LSU legend who balled out in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center from '89 to '92 before lighting up the NBA.

As for Amirah (who's 6'3" tall) -- SHE'S LEGIT -- averaging 17.2 points per game during her high school career at Crossroads in Santa Monica.

She was also an Honorable Mention to the MaxPreps 2019 California All-State Girls Basketball Team.

Shareef -- who recently announced he was transferring to LSU after a short stint at UCLA -- he's VERY excited about Amirah's decision.

"THE BROTHER SISTER DUO," Shareef posted on social media ... "Congrats to my sister on committing to LSU."

The 6'9" Shareef was a top-ranked high school player before heading to UCLA in 2018  -- but his freshman season ended before it began after doctors discovered an irregularity with his heart.

Before this little lady was purr-fecting her hit hip-hop albums and playing sold-out shows, she was just another pipsqueak in pink cooling off with a freeze pop in Los Angeles, CA.

You may recognize her from all the TikTok videos you have been binging this quarantine ... her hilarious social media presence created a viral dance to her popular song "Say So." Recently, she joined Megan Thee Stallion, Halsey, and Normani on the all-female "Birds of Prey" album.

In this throwback photo, she was better known as Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini instead of the stage name you might be familiar with.

Before we were keeping up with this cute kid, she was just another cheesin' chick showing off her missing teeth in Los Angeles, CA.

This little lady is best known for her famous family in which she is one of 5 sisters. She has taken the modeling world by storm walking in some of the most prestigious fashion shows including Alexander Wang, Versace, Tom Ford and Burberry ... just to name a few.

If she's not on the cover of international Vogue magazines, she's being proactive with her very own clothing line she shares with her sister.

Before this cute little Jurassic lover who's falling prey to a puppet was at the top of the Hollywood food chain as an A-list actress, she was just another young dinosaur enthusiast growing up in Northern California.

With a lifelong passion for performing -- both on the stage and on the big screen -- this thespian may seem like a fossil in the acting world ... but in human years, this young lady is only 30 years old.

This celebrity swapped in her real name (born Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers) for something a little cheesier once she began to gain fame.

Before this cool little kid was known as one of the hottest artists in the rap game, he was just another styling young man in a sensible sweater growing up in Ohio.

It may take a little closer look because this dark knight with his brunette braids has locked down a much more scarlet style to his hair.

Although this little guy's rap name has got the world tripping out ... he was known as Michael Lamar White IV for most of his life.

He has previously collaborated with other big-named rappers including Travis Scott and Swae Lee and XXXtentacion.

Before this cute little kid was getting the crowds fired up as an international musician and bass-playing heartthrob, he was just another tot in a turtleneck posing with a furry feline mascot while growing up in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

This young man traded in his vertical striped shirts for a much more emo sense of style ... complete with spiked hair and guy-liner ... when he gained fame for his part in a pop/punk boy band.

He's since upgraded from his cat costume partner to marry (and divorce) another Hollywood rocker that he shares three kids with.
