When we think of celebrity kids, it’s often the so-called “nepo babies” that come to mind. These artists are often criticized for using their famous surnames to land an impressive movie role or contract with a prestigious record label.

Just last week, North West, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, was accused of skipping her place in the line for an audition in the musical production of The Lion King and securing a role as Young Simba.

But there are multiple celebrities who prefer to keep their children away from the Hollywood camera flashes, allowing them to lead more conventional lifestyles.

Below, Bored Panda presents a list of celebrity children who have managed to stay under the radar for years as a result of their own choices or those of their parents.
