12 Awesome celebrity kids who inherited their parents' good looks and talent

Though they may be growing up under the radar, it's only a matter of time before these talented youngsters will be making names for themselves, whether inside or outside of showbiz!

They may be growing up away from the spotlight, but with their good looks and talent, it’s natural for their parents’ fans to wish that they would enter showbiz as well.

We rounded up the celebrity kids who we think will do well in the entertainment industry one day, should they choose that path.

But whatever they decide, we’re certain that their amazing celebrity parents will lovingly support them every step of the way!

Paolo Ballesteros’ daughter, Keira

This little cutie wants to be an actress someday.

Maybe she’ll make an appearance on Eat Bulaga’s Kalyeserye someday soon!

Ina Raymundo’s daughter Anika

The Fil-Canadian cutie earned the nickname ‘Anika Manika’ when she accompanied her mom Ina Raymundo on the Ryzza Mae show.

Lotlot de Leon and Christopher Gutierrez’ daughter, Maxine

Mom Lotlot de Leon describes her youngest daughter, 14-year-old Maxine as a sensitive, caring, thoughtful, and, funny young lady.

She also lovingly jokes that her bunso is a ‘drama queen’.

Geneva Cruz and Paco Arespacochaga’s son, Heaven

We had to blink a couple of times when we saw a photo of Paco and Geneva’s son, Heaven. Because it’s like we were looking at a picture of Paco in the 90s.

The 19-year-old really takes after his dad, who is an excellent musician and drummer. 

Despite his musical prowess, he has chosen a different path. He is currently a Nursing student who is also into playing football and basketball. 

But, who knows, maybe he will be making his mark on the music scene one day!

Our list doesn’t end here. Keep reading on to the next page!

This striking 15-year-old is a smart and poised young lady.

Much like her mom, she is greatly adept at music. She is not only a good singer but she also plays four instruments: the violin, piano, guitar, and drums.

She has also been described by her family as a ‘great writer’.

Maricel Laxa and Anthony Pangilinan’s daughter, Hannah

Next on our list is Frankie’s cousin, Hannah. The 16-year-old stunner is the third daughter of Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan and Anthony Pangilinan.

Aside from being a champion gymnast, she has done some modeling gigs and TV guestings. But so far, she has not shown interest in entering showbiz.

Maricel Laxa and Anthony Pangilinan’s son, Donny

Hannah’s older brother Donny Pangilinan, 17, is described as introverted and creative.
He loves basketball and surfing.
He has gained a loyal following on Instagram due to his boy next door good looks.
Maybe he’ll come out of his shell and pursue acting like his mom, who knows!
