Discover the surprising family connections within the celebrity world! 🌟👨👩👧👦 From hidden relationships to famous family ties, find out which stars are related.
Family connections of Hollywood celebrities that few people know about. Sometimes, even they themselves!
Journalists and fans regularly compare these two Hollywood divas. It turns out that it is not by chance. “We are actually related: my grandmother’s sister’s husband’s mother is a Ciccone from Detroit,” Gwen said in an interview.
NICOLAS CAGE AND SOFIA COPPOLA
The Hollywood celebrities are cousins. When Nicholas decided to become an actor, the first thing he did was change his family name Coppola to the pseudonym Cage. He didn’t want to be accused of “family patronage” from his famous uncle Francis, the director of “The Godfather”. Accordingly, Coppola Sr.’s daughter, Sofia, who followed in her father’s footsteps, is Cage’s cousin.
BROOKE SHIELDS AND MERYL STREEP
It may seem that Oscar-winning blonde Meryl Streep and sultry brunette Brooke Shields have absolutely nothing in common, but the actresses are second cousins.
GWYNETH PALTROW AND STEVEN SPIELBERG
Many people know that Steven Spielberg is the godfather of actress Drew Barrymore. However, another star blonde, Gwyneth Paltrow, is listed among the famous director’s “daughters”. She owes her career to him – the legendary director was the first to spot the girl’s talent during family holidays and in 1991 approved her for the role of Wendy in the film “Captain Hook”. “Father” and “daughter” still get along well and occasionally spend family holidays together.
KATE MIDDLETON AND GUY RITCHIE
The ancestors of the British princess and Madonna’s ex-husband, who recently released another hit, lived in the 18th century and were a married couple – David and Sarah Luga. It is noteworthy that both are well aware of their distant family connection – it is no coincidence that in 2011 Richie was invited to the wedding ceremony of Kate and Prince William from the bride’s side.
JOAQUIN PHOENIX AND BEN AFFLECK
The two acting clans became related not so long ago. Ben Affleck’s younger brother (the actor and director’s name has been increasingly cropping up in connection with a family scandal lately) – Casey is married to Joaquin’s sister – Summer Phoenix.
ELIZABETH HURLEY AND DAVID BECKHAM
The Beckhams have been close friends with actress Elizabeth Hurley for a long time. It is not surprising that with the birth of their sons Brooklyn and Romeo, David and Victoria decided to become related to the fatal beauty and invited her to be their godmother.
JUSTIN BIEBER AND RYAN GOSLING
The New England Historical and Genealogical Society has undertaken an interesting study. Scientists decided to find out who is related to whom among Hollywood stars. It turned out that Justin Bieber is actually a distant relative of Canadian superstars Ryan Gosling (11th cousin), Avril Lavigne (12th cousin) and Celine Dion (10th cousin).
All the celebrities have French ancestors who settled in Quebec in the 17th century and became related. By the way, this same society has proven the family ties of Ellen DeGeneres and Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie and Hilary Clayton and (drum roll) Brad Pitt and Barack Obama.
