Twitter Is Surprised to Learn All These Celebrities Are 'Nepo Babies' After 'New York Magazine' Cover Goes Viral
Social media is buzzing about babies. “Nepo Babies,” that is!
New York Magazine‘s latest cover story released on Monday (December 19) is all about the children of stars, otherwise known as nepotism babies.
And the cover – which features the faces of A-list celebs pasted onto the bodies of babies – is garnering a lot of attention right now online.
The article includes well-known names like Dakota Johnson (Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson), Jack Quaid (Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid), Brooklyn Beckham (Victoria Beckham and David Beckham), Lily-Rose Depp (Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp), Maya Hawke (Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman), John David Washington (Denzel and Paula Washington), Zoe Kravitz (Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet), Chris Pine (Robert Pine and Gwynne Gilford) and Ben Platt (producer Marc and Julie Platt) among many others, and a lot of people are just now learning that some of their favorite celebrities are actually the children of other stars.
There’s also a “Which Nepo Baby Said It?” quiz, featuring quotes from stars defending their nepotism status, with even more celebs named, including Miley Cyrus (Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus), Nicolas Cage (August Coppola and Joy Vogelsang), Rashida Jones (Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Ron Howard and Cheryl Howard).

There’s hope. As long as Gen-Z doesn’t tolerate Nepo Babies there’s hope for people to make it with their own personal merit pic.twitter.com/qUWMhmozYF
