As much as the world loves celebrities, there might be something we love more…the kids of celebrities. For example, think about how the internet was set ablaze when Rihanna and A$AP Rocky announced that they were expecting their first child (or the second one for that matter). What about that time when Pusha T revealed that Drake had a son? Literally nothing was the same. Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin had their first child in August and everyone is anticipating seeing Jack Blues. No matter who the parent is or how famous they are, it seems like their children always inherit the same if not more attention than their parents receive. Who are the most famous kids of celebrities though?
A study recently done by CasinooftheKings examined social media and journalistic coverage of celebrity children to identify the most famous kids of celebrity parents. The popularity index was computed by averaging out the number of Google searches, media mentions and Instagram hashtags for each child.
