Athletes With Gorgeous Kids

When we think of professional athletes, we tend to think more about their performance on the field than their looks. Athletes are looked up to as heroes who defied the odds and broke barriers to become some of the best players in their sport. Though these athletes have been in constant headlines for their notable achievements, their kids are the one's getting noticed for their gorgeous looks.

Some of the most well-known athletes have raised their kids to continue their legacy, but they are also getting recognition for their looks. These kids have become just as famous as their sports-playing parents by possessing their mom or dad's athletic genes and turning heads with their beauty. Now, that's called a win-win. Here we look at sports stars' kids, with some following in their parent's footsteps. At the same time, some have taken advantage of their beautiful appearances to become famous models, enter into pageantry, or find themselves working in television.

Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner before publicly coming out as transgender in 2015, gained fame as the "world's greatest athlete" after winning a gold medal and setting a world record at the 1976 Summer Olympics in the decathlon, per Biography. Years later, Jenner would showcase her life with her now ex-wife, Kris Jenner, and their blended family on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." 

Caitlyn and Kris married in 1991 and welcomed two daughters together — Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Kris was already a mom of four with ex-husband Robert Kardashian, whom she divorced in 1991. Those kids would become very famous: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob Kardashian. However, Kylie and Kendall would become just as famous. Fans of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" watched as a young Kendall began her modeling career. By 2018, Forbes gave her the title of the "world's highest-paid supermodel" after she made a reported $22.5 million that year. Kendall has since started her own successful tequila business with 818 Tequila which launched in February 2021. 

As for Kylie, the reality star started her makeup brand in 2015 with the launch of Kylie Lip Kits. Her brand soon expanded into an entire makeup collection that includes eyeshadow palettes, blushes, lipsticks, and highlighters. In 2018, she made Forbes' list of America's Richest Self-Made Women with an estimated net worth of $900 million. Although she received backlash for the term "self-made."

Soccer legend David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham's four children are setting forth their own career paths. The star-studded couple welcomed their first child, a son named Brooklyn, in 1999; their second son Romeo was born in 2002, while Cruz came in 2005. The couple's youngest child, a daughter named Harper, was born in 2011, per Closer Weekly. 

According to People, Brooklyn Beckham didn't follow in his soccer dad's footsteps. Instead, he began modeling at 15 and landed his first cover with Man About Town. Nowadays, Brooklyn is focused on cooking. In December 2021, he launched the Facebook Watch show "Cookin' With Brooklyn" and told Variety that it is his biggest passion. The couple's second son, Romeo, began modeling just like his older brother. At age 10, he starred in a campaign for Burberry Kids. However, he's giving soccer a go and, at age 19, joined Fort Lauderdale FC (renamed Inter Miami II). In September 2021, Romeo made his professional soccer debut. As of this writing, Romeo plays forward for Brentford B on loan from Inter Miami II, BBC.

As for Cruz, the third son of the Beckham clan has set his sights on music. In 2016, he released his debut single, "If Every Day Was Christmas." In his first-ever cover shoot for i-D, Cruz shared that he is focusing on his music career. Meanwhile, Harper, who does not have social media, has been spending her days playing soccer with her dad. 

Pro-wrestling legend Hulk Hogan turned to reality television when he documented his life as a father and husband on the 2005 VH1 series "Hogan Knows Best." It was where viewers first got to meet Hogan's daughter, Brooke, who, in Season 2, signed a $1.3 million music contract at 18 with aspirations to make it big in the entertainment industry. In 2006, Brooke released her debut album "Undiscovered," with her single "About Us," entering the Top 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. "Hogan Knows Best" was canceled after four seasons; however, Brooke soon after landed her own series called "Brooke Knows Best." The show lasted two seasons.

Brooke laid low ever since her show was booted off VH1. For a brief period, Brooke followed in her father's footsteps and pursued a career in wrestling. She made her WWE debut in 2006 and stuck with wrestling for a bit, where from 2012 to 2013, she worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. However, Brooke's passion for music outweighed her wrestling career. In 2021, she announced on Instagram that she would be releasing never before heard music and new music.

Besides singing, Brooke revealed on Instagram that she teamed up with her friend Ashley Menedez and launched an Airbnb design company called BB Designs by Brooke in Nashville, Tennessee. Her company focuses on renovating Airbnb listings. 

Tiger Woods' son, Charlie Woods, whom he shares with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, is the professional golfer's mini-me. At age 4, Charlie was already making headlines for a future career in golf when he was seen swinging a golf club, per Parade. In 2020, Charlie and his father teamed up for the annual father-son PNC Championship, which made it Charlie's first-ever world tournament. During the event, Charlie shot his first eagle, with his dad excitedly telling his son, "Your first eagle!" According to Golf Digest, Tiger is one proud father with high hopes for his son. "It's been just an absolute blast to go out there and just be with him. It reminds me so much of me and my dad [growing up]," Tiger said.

Tiger is also the proud parent of a daughter named Sam. Sam is Tiger and Nordegren's first child, born in 2007. And, despite not being as interested in golf like her younger brother, Tiger did express to Golf in 2018 that Sam was taking a liking to soccer. Sam celebrated her father's achievements during his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2022. After Tiger Woods' scary car accident in 2021, she shared, "We didn't know if you'd come home with two legs or not. Now, you're not only about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but you're standing here on your own two feet. This is why you deserve this."

Cristiano Ronaldo may be known as one of the greatest soccer players, but he's also a family man. The soccer star is a father of five beautiful children he raises with his long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez. Although all his children are still relatively young, they already appear to be taking after their father with a love of soccer.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is the soccer player's first son, born in June 2010. It is unknown who the mother of Ronaldo Jr. is with the Al-Nassr FC forward having confirmed he became a father (via CNN), "As agreed with the baby's mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship." According to Goal, Ronaldo Jr. has been taking after his famous father after being a part of several youth academies, including Manchester United and Real Madrid. He will join his dad in Saudi Arabia when he joins the Mahd Academy.

In June 2017, Ronaldo welcomed twins Eva and Mateo via surrogate, per People. It was also around the same time he began dating Rodriguez. That same year, Rodriguez welcomed the pair's daughter Alana. In October 2021, the couple announced they were expecting twins. However, in April 2022, Ronaldo revealed on Instagram that while their daughter, Bella, was born healthy, their son, who they named Angel, had died. 

There's no telling if retired Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué's two sons, Milan and Sasha, will follow in their dad's footsteps, but they do share the soccer player's good looks. Piqué shares his two sons with songstress Shakira, with the "Hips Don't Lie" artist giving birth to their first son Milan in 2013. Two years later, they welcomed their second son, Sasha. 

According to Reuters, Piqué and Shakira began dating in 2011, but after 12 years together, they announced that they were splitting in June 2022. Though they were together for quite some time, the former couple never married. Page Six reported that their split was plagued with infidelity rumors, with Piqué allegedly cheating on the singer, leading to their breakup. Shakira appeared to be still hurt by their separation when she wrote on Instagram on New Year's Day, "Even if our wounds are still open in this new year, time has a surgeon's hands. Even if someone had betrayed us, we must continue to trust." Piqué has since gone public with a new woman, with Harper's Bazaar reporting that she is Clara Chia Marti.

Despite their split, both stars post photos of their young sons separately. In December 2022, Shakira shared a photo of herself with her two boys while on a trip in the desert. She also shared pictures of them at a Dodgers game and in their karate outfits.
