A new quiz challenges readers to identify the iconic mothers of famous British 'nepo babies', from Brooklyn Beckham to Ty Tennant. The term, popularised by a New York Magazine article, refers to children of celebrities who benefit from family connections in the entertainment industry.
Among the featured offspring are Maude Apatow, daughter of director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann, who stars in Euphoria. She has acknowledged her privilege, saying it makes her 'a little sad' but vowing to prove herself through hard work.
Model Hailey Bieber, née Baldwin, is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and granddaughter of jazz composer Eumir Deodato. She famously wore a 'nepo baby' T-shirt in Los Angeles, sparking debate over whether the move was tone-deaf or iconic.
Carys Douglas, daughter of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, has appeared in campaigns for Fendi and on magazine covers. She has expressed frustration that people assume she doesn't work hard, stating: 'I feel like it's the opposite.'
The quiz highlights how nepotism has long been part of Hollywood, but recent discourse has brought renewed scrutiny to the advantages enjoyed by celebrity children.
