From megabucks social stardom to new singing career – meet the famous ‘nepo’ offspring set to take centre stage in 2025
THEY’RE young, rich and very well-connected, so it’s no surprise those born to showbiz royalty, or ‘nepo babies’ as they are sometimes dubbed, are destined for greatness in one way or another.
However while the label ‘nepo baby’ is often used to describe the kids of celebs who have seemingly benefited in some way as a result of their parents‘ fame, that’s not to say they haven’t worked hard.
And there’s plenty of stand-out talent emerging from that generation who are going on to achieve great success – and some are tipped for huge things this year especially.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, PR expert and coach Natalie Trice says: “As we step into 2025, the spotlight shines brightly on this next generation of “nepo-babies,” who are leveraging their lineage, connections, and inherited talent to make waves in the entertainment, fashion, and digital world.
“From starring in blockbuster films to commanding lucrative social media collaborations, they are reshaping the cultural landscape and proving that having famous parents is only the beginning of their story.
“What makes this new wave of stars particularly intriguing is their ability to step out of their parents’ shadows – rather than simply riding on their family name, these rising stars are embracing a multi-faceted approach to fame, combining acting, music, modelling, and influencing to build unique personal brands.”
Here, we take a look at the new generation of young talent who look set to step out of the shadow of their showbiz parents and carve a name for themselves this year, both here and across the pond…
Blue Ivy
Blue Ivy Carter, 12, most recently performed on stage over Christmas with mum Beyonce, 43, as she headlined the half-time entertainment at a gridiron game in her home city of Houston, Texas – but she’s also keen to take on her own separate projects too.
And despite dad Jay-Z being embroiled in a high profile lawsuit, it seems this is the year Blue could emerge into the spotlight in her own right, having walked the red carpet in a stunning gold gown towards the end of last year.
Natalie says: “Blue Ivy is poised to step into the spotlight on her own terms, undeterred by the challenges surrounding her family.
“Her role in The Lion King as the voice of Kiara and her presence at high-profile events showcase her star power beyond being Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter.
“As she matures, opportunities in acting, music, or fashion could see her forging her own path in Hollywood but let’s face it, she has been on that route since birth.
“While her name commands global recognition, it’s essential that her career is nurtured carefully, as she’s still only 12.
“With guidance, 2025 could be a year where Blue Ivy begins showcasing her individuality, though it may take time for her to reach her mother’s financial heights, success is pretty much in the bag.”
Venezuela Fury
She’s only 15, but boxer Tyson and author Paris Fury‘s daughter Veneuzuela is already one of the most popular teenagers on the internet, racking up 90,000 followers on Instagram and 214,000 followers on TikTok.
She’s also already attracted the attention of multiple modelling agencies too and big fashion brands, all vying to work with her.
Natalie says: “Turning 16 next year, she stands to see her marketability soar, as brands often favour older teen influencers for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle campaigns.
“With relatable looks and polished content, she hints at a future in modelling, merging social media success with traditional media appearances.
“Estimated influencer fees for Venezuela could reach up to £5,000 per post, and as her following grows she is positioned to be a heavyweight in the digital space.”
The Gallagher family
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher caused a stir when they announced their surprise reconciliation last year and their decision to regroup and go on tour delighted Oasis fans.
With this in mind, this could also be the year their kids – including Molly Moorish-Gallagher, Anais, Lennon and Gene – could also establish themselves as the next super successful Gallagher generation.
Natalie says: “The Gallagher siblings – are set to dominate 2025 as their iconic lineage comes full circle with Oasis hitting the stage again.
“Lennon’s success in music and high fashion, working with Burberry, Yves Saint Laurent, and Lanvin, sets a high standard, while Molly and Anais’s recent Napapijri campaign positions them as a formidable force in fashion.
“The renewed media interest surrounding their fathers’ tour will likely cement their status as cultural icons for a new generation, combining music and fashion with undeniable star power.
“Their earnings potential is undoubtedly soaring and leading to a truly champagne supernova status.”
North West Kardashian
She may be just 11, but North West has done – and achieved – way more than the average pre-teen, and of course she’s had a head-start due to famous parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Natalie says: “North West is no stranger to fame, but at 11 years old her journey requires thoughtful management.
“As part of the Kardashian empire and Kanye West’s daughter, she’s balancing immense expectations with her individuality.
North West's Hollywood Moments
Despite only being 10, North West has had plenty of moments in the spotlight.

After the success of her work with Kanye, North announced that she was taking her music career a step further.
The young star announced that fans should be on the lookout for her first album, Elementary School Dropout.
“Her growing social media presence and collaborations hint at a bright future in music, fashion, and digital platforms but it’s crucial that her ventures prioritise her personal growth and protect her childhood, if that is at all possible.
“With the right guidance, North has the potential to redefine what it means to grow up famous, setting the stage for a remarkable future.
“However she not even a teen yet, so I hope that she is given some space to be her, and not a carbon copy of her parents.”
Kiki Truman
Kiki Truman, daughter of EastEnders star Charlie Brooks, who played Janine Butcher, is paving her own way while following in her mum’s acting footsteps.
Now 20 and having studied at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Kiki is building a strong foundation for a promising career in the performing arts.
Natalie says: “With 125k TikTok followers and 13k Instagram followers, Kiki combines her own content with appearances alongside her mum, who is soon to star in Dancing on Ice.
“This mix of youthful relatability and established celebrity appeal shows that she is on the right tracks to building her own brand, maybe that’s the entrepreneurial spirit passed on from her less famous father, Ibiza club owner Tony.
“Her growing social media influence positions her to command four figures per post, with the potential for strategic collaborations that elevate her personal brand and career.
“Kiki – and her mum – are undoubtedly ones to watch… Both on and off the ice.”
Sunday Rose Urban
Up until recently Nicole Kidman, 57, and her husband Keith Urban, also 57, who share daughters Faith Margaret, 13, and Sunday Rose, 16, kept their children out of the public eye and rarely shared snaps of them on social media.
But Sunday is now keen to establish her own legacy, and has worked hard to claim a modelling role in fashion – despite her famous mum’s slight reluctance for her daughter to step into the spotlight.
Speaking about her modelling debut for Miu Miu last year, Nicole told The Hollywood Reporter: “That’s all driven by her. Me going, ‘Oh no, I don’t think so.”
Speaking to Vogue, Sunday said: “I’ve been wanting to do this for so long so when the offer came through it was really exciting.”
Natalie says: “Sunday Rose Urban’s modelling debut at the spring 2025 Miu Miu show has established her as a fresh face in fashion.
“Her understated presence contrasts with more spotlight-driven nepo families, such as the Beckhams.
“With a refined style, natural elegance, and a grounded upbringing courtesy of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Sunday’s USPs lie in her ability to captivate both high fashion and relatable youth audiences.
“Aligning with top-tier and high street brands, she’s set to become a star that resonates across generations.”
Princess Andre
With parents like model Katie Price, 46, and singer Peter Andre, 51, Princess Andre has plenty of advice on hand, whatever direction she wants to go in with her own career, whether that be in music or modelling.
Last year she revealed Princess plans to release music this year, which could signal her desire to follow in her dad’s footsteps.
However the 17-year-old is crafting out a unique career for herself on social media and actually drawing inspiration from outside of the family too.
Natalie says: “Princess Andre’s growing presence in modelling and collaborations, alongside her budding music ambitions, positions her as a rising star in 2025 and a young woman who seems to know her own mind and is on a mission for fame.
“Already linked with PrettyLittleThing and Superdrug, she’s poised to bridge music and social media.
“While her charm and versatility make her a standout, I think that careful career management will be critical to ensure long-term success as we don’t want her to see her go off track.
“With her father, Peter Andre, by her side, Princess is set to make a significant mark, commanding high fees for endorsements and partnerships and she is one to watch.”
Gaia Wise
Gaia Wise, 25, is no stranger to the acting world as the daughter of none other than Dame Emma Thompson, 65, and husband Greg Wise, 58.
However while she’s worked on multiple projects including films A Walk In The Woods and Last Chance Harvey alongside her famous mother, her big solo break came at the end of last year.
Natalie says: “Gaia Wise’s role in Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim signals a major step in her career.
“Having worked alongside her mother, Emma Thompson, Gaia is carving her own path, blending theatre, film, and voice acting into a strong portfolio.
“Beyond her talent, she’s a vocal advocate for causes such as climate change and breast cancer awareness, demonstrating depth and purpose.
“With 2025 on the horizon, Gaia is well-positioned to cement her status as a formidable talent in her own right.”
