17 Celebrity Kids Who Are All Grown Up Now

From the Smiths to the Jolie-Pitts, these are the Hollywood offspring you've watched grow up.

Some celebrity parents are avidly against exposing their children to the public, ensuring that they're not photographed by paparazzi and, in some cases, not even releasing their names. But there are also those star spawn who we've been seeing on red carpets, in photoshoots, and all over Instagram since they were tiny. And when you remember when a celeb's kid was born like it was yesterday, it's a bit of a reality check regarding the passage of time to see them all grown up and well into their own careers. The world has watched as these 17 celebrity kids have grown up, so don't worry—you're not the only one who feels old being reminded that they're now full adults.
