This spicy Italian mother and daughter pair are best known from the reality TV show, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. This family has had their fair share of drama, and viewers LOVE drama. Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice were charged with some major criminal charges: conspiracy, wire and bank fraud, and bankruptcy fraud. Consequently, they were sentenced to serve jail time, yes, real jail! Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison, and her husband Joe was sentenced to 41 months, PLUS deportation back to his homeland, Italy. This all played out on viewers’ TV screens, making their family one of the most interesting to watch.
Their daughter Gia was in the midst of her family falling apart, and was really strong throughout the whole endeavor, making people fall in love with her strength and bravery. She also declared that she would fight the court’s decision to deport her father to Italy. Gia stated “My father is no threat to society[…] he is one of the most warm-hearted people I know, he would never harm a soul. He puts everyone else before himself… My father did his time and learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person?”
Kanye West & North West
North West is the eldest child of one of Hollywood's most controversial couples — Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. From promiscuous videos to questionable tweets, it seems like the West-Kardashians are always in the headlines for something.
Not only does little North have one of the coolest names in young Hollywood, but she is also one of the most fashionable, which is expected considering that both her parents are icons in the fashion industry. She is still too young to realize what all the fuss around her parents is, but we do wonder what she'll think about her parent's shenanigans once she gets older. Will she join the family's shenanigans? Wonder if she thinks about her dad wearing MAGA hats?
Tish Cyrus & Miley Cyrus
It seems as if overnight Miley Cyrus went from being America's sweetheart, starring in her Disney show, Hanna Montana, to appearing half-naked on a wrecking ball in a controversial music video. Miley has definitely been through a bad-girl phase, but that's pretty normal for adolescence, and even more so for those who grew up in the spotlight.
Tish Cyrus is an actress and producer, married to country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. The couple has filed for divorce twice in the past (yes, twice), in 2010, and 2013, but ended up dropping the divorce on both occasions. Seems like despite their differences at times, they can't live without one another.
Damon Wayans & Damon Wayans Jr.
Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. must be the most hilarious father-son duo in Hollywood. Damon Sr. comes from a lineage of talented performers; his mother was a singer, and six out of his nine siblings are accomplished actors. What are the chances?! So it seems that it is only natural that Damon Jr. would follow in his family's footsteps. Damon Sr. was a writer for the hit sketch comedy show In Living Color, and the co-creator/co-producer of many other classic movies and TV shows like Major Payne and My Wife and Kids.
Damon Jr. started his acting career at a young age when he played the younger version of his father in the movie Blankman in 1994. You can catch him on the comedy show New Girl. They actually look like brothers in this photo rather than father and son. Would you believe that Damon Sr. is 58?! He sure is aging well, but then again you know what they say, "black don't crack".
Natalie Portman & Aleph
Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman's most celebrated role was in the film Black Swan, where she portrayed a ballerina with a dark side. She won several awards for her performance. Portman is married to French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The couple are both dedicated to supporting the arts, which they feel are neglected in the public education system.
The couple has two children, including their young son, Aleph. With the support of two very artistic parents, we can surely expect Aleph to have the support he needs to cultivate his talents. Will he be a dancer like his father? An actor like his mother? Who knows?
