Let’s talk about celebs who are related to other famous people!
I know I say it a lot, but I truly believe that the Hollywood world is such an interesting place to be. I’m always amazed by these people’s talent, the way they carry themselves on the red carpet, and the way they transmit their emotions and feelings on the screen or stage—I just love it.
And I don’t know about you, but I enjoy watching my favorite family pairings do their magic together—Julia and Eric Roberts, Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Diana Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross—but many other celebs are related to other famous people, some of which were kept under the radar until now.
We wanted to know more about these special families and the type of connection they have, so let’s get this Hollywood party started. Without further ado, here are the best celebs who are related to other famous people!
1. Phil Collins and Lily Collins
We start off this list of celebrities who are related to other famous people, like Phil and Lily Collings. You might know the talented Phil for his wonderful work as a vocalist and drummer for the British rock group Genesis and also for his greatest hits, including “Against All Odds,” “In the Air Tonight,” and “Another Day in Paradise.”
What not a lot of people know is that Mr. Collins is the father of the gorgeous 30-something-year-old Lily Collins, known for her wonderful role as Emily Cooper in the beloved Netflix show “Emily in Paris,” as well as for her marvelous appearances in “To the Bone” and “Mank.”.
Sources say that the two stars didn’t have a close relationship throughout Lily’s childhood, but the actress wrote in a book of personal essays, which she published in 2017, that she’s forgiven all the mistakes her father made and all the times she needed him and he wasn’t there.
We’re glad they’re now okay and are a happy family, and let’s continue with these celebs who are related to other famous people because you might not expect some of these insights.
2. Julia Roberts and Emma Robert
Julia and Emma Roberts are two of the most popular actresses in America, known for their amazing talent on screen as well as for their gorgeous features.
Julia, who had a wonderful interpretation of Vivian Ward in “Pretty Woman,” along with Richard Gere as Edward Lewis, is the sister of Eric Roberts, Emma’s father.
We can say that stage talent runs in the family because the two beautiful women know how to show off their strengths on the screen. Psst: Have you watched “Pretty Woman” yet? It’s one of the best cinematographic productions ever, and I recommend you watch it again this weekend.
3. Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus
These two famous people aren’t related by blood; their connection is so pure and real that you could swear they’re more than godmother and goddaughter. Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton are two incredible singers whose voices can make you melt.
The fabulous “Jolene” singer has a very close relationship with country artist Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley’s father, and when he and his wife welcomed their daughter, Dolly was asked to be her godmother.
We’re glad she accepted it because these two beautiful and talented women look amazing each time they share the stage and make the crowd dance and sing along with them. What do you think about these two famous people and their music careers?
4. Dakota and Elle Fanning and Kate Middleton
Now we’re talking about famous people who’re related to other celebs, because this time, royalty meets Hollywood. Not only are gorgeous actresses Elle and Dakota Fanning sisters, but they’re also descendants of royalty.
This might seem like a bit of a stretch, but wait to hear the rest. A couple of years ago, a family historian said that the stunning Hollywood siblings have King Edward III, who ruled England from 1327 to 1377.
Moreover, Carole Middleton, Kate Middleton’s mother, is also descended from King Edward III, which makes the Duchess of Cambridge and the Fannings (very) distant cousins. The source said that Elle, in particular, is Kate’s 21st cousin. I know this seems weird, and being 21 cousins might not be that important, but it still counts, right?

5. Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci
If you’ve watched the marvelous movie “The Devil Wears Prada,” you already know what amazing actors Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are. But what a lot of fans do not know is that these famous people are related. Tucci is married to a gorgeous literary agent, Felicity Blunt, who’s Emily’s older sister. A little happy family, right?
6. Tom Cruise and William Mapother
Once I reveal a little-known fact to you—that Tom Cruise’s real name is Thomas Cruise Mapother IV—all of this celebrity kinship will make sense, and you’ll understand how these two famous people are related.
Indeed, the action star and actor William Mapother have the same last name, and they’re cousins. The two have also collaborated on five movies: “Vanilla Sky,” “Born on the Fourth of July,” “Magnolia,” “Minority Report,” and “Mission: Impossible II.” Did you know about the family relationship these celebs shared?
7. Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson
Have you ever watched Melanie Griffith in “Working Girl”? I loved this movie when it came out. It made me laugh, empowered me, and made me think that women can work their dream jobs; not to mention, I thought the costumes were amazing too.
But now, let’s talk about these celebrities and how they’re related to other famous people, because it’s interesting to see how talent grows in a family. Talk about Hollywood—three generations of brilliance and beauty!
The star of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” Dakota Johnson, is descended from a long line of legendary Tinseltown figures. Not only is she Tippi Hedren’s granddaughter, but she’s also the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.
Over the years, the mother and daughter have been each other’s closest supporters and share a fondness for fringe bangs. I believe this hairstyle suits them both! What are your thoughts?
8. Prince Charles and Ralph Fiennes
Ralph Fiennes did an amazing job of giving life to the character Lord Voldemort, the antagonist in the beloved “Harry Potter” franchise. What not many people know is that he and Joseph Fiennes, his brother, are 8th cousins of King Charles.
How’s that even possible, you might ask? Sources say that the talented brothers and King Charles are all descendants of King James II of Scotland. What’s interesting is that Ralph Ralph performed in front of the Royal Family to commemorate Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday in 2012.
