Independent Peeps Who Are Not Living In The Shadow Of Their Famous Siblings

To be a Hollywood movie star or a celebrity means to be in the public eye most of the time and having the public know all about your private life and family. It is both a pro and a con at the same time. These stars have their life laid out for all to talk about. What they do, who they are currently dating, where they like to hang out: almost everything is public knowledge, thanks to the paparazzi and social media. However, not everyone knows and recognizes the brothers and sisters of their favorite stars. Before they were celebs, these stars shared their lives with their siblings. But how much do we know about their lesser-known family members? Let’s find out.

Zoë Kravitz & Lola Momoa

Who would think that the Game of Thrones star, Jason Momoa is related to Zoë Kravitz? This young actress was actually the daughter of one of the most popular 90’s power couples – Lisa Bonet and rocker Lenny Kravitz.

Though, her parents have parted ways, they are still friends, and part of each other’s lives. Lisa remarried Jason Momoa in 2017, and they have two kids. Most popular for her role as Catwoman,  Zoë is close with her half-siblings, Lola and Nakoa. These three often spend time together.

Bella Hadid & Gigi Hadid

Though this might not be much of a surprise, Bella and Gigi Hadid are actually sisters. When you look at them, their faces look very different from each other, given Bella’s angular bone structure. Both of them, however, are long-legged gals owing to their genes. 

They owe their height to their supermodel mother, who is Dutch. Their father is a real-estate developer who is a Jordanian American. They also have a brother and two older half-sisters from their father’s side. With their height and looks – no wonder, they are both taking the modeling industry by storm!

Jaden & Willow Smith – Trey Smith

Jaden and Willow Smith are two siblings who are always in the public eye, thanks for their strange shenanigans. Once an innocent cute little kid, Jaden has also really come into his own-mostly known for his strange tweets and outlandish choice of clothes.

Rihanna – Rorrey & Rajad Fenty

Rihanna is an immensely popular musician and an entrepreneur too. Known for her raspy, distinct voice, she has made waves in the music industry. However, not many know about her family or her siblings. She is a total family woman and loves spending time with them.

Did you know Brad also has a brother, Doug Pitt? Unlike his brother, Doug has chosen to keep a lower profile than his instantly recognizable brother.
