Celebrity Siblings Then Vs. Now: How Have They Changed And Where Are They Now?

For many of us, having a sibling is one of the best things we can ask for in life. Sure you can always make friends and sure, you may argue that being an only child has its benefits, but it is undeniable that they will always have a special place in our hearts.
As for celebrities who have siblings, things are slightly different. While some of them share the family talent and pursue the same career as their already famous sibling(s), others make a name for themselves without using their family names. Not only that, being celebs, their personal lives are laid bare for the world to see. Everything they do goes to the first page of newspapers.
Today, let's have a look at 17 pairs of celeb siblings who rose to fame alongside each other. Here's the thing, though: some of the names listed down here may not ring a bell for many people.

#1 Ashlee and Jessica Simpson

During the early stage of her career, Jessica was all about music. This did not last long, as her later albums didn't gain much recognition.
Her younger sister, Ashlee, also rose to stardom, though this was in part thanks to Jessica's success.

#2 Dakota and Elle Fanning

The Fanning sisters have one thing in common: they both started out as child actors. The difference is their starting age. Dakota began acting at the age of 5 while Elle started off at 3. You may recognize Elle for her role as Aurora, the Sleeping Beauty in Maleficent.

#3 Eric and Julia Roberts

Eric is one of the most credited actors of all time, earning over 600 credits throughout his 48-year-long acting career. That said, his profile wasn't exactly clean, as he had been arrested on more than one occasion.
Julia has also played in an equally vast collection of movies, including some of the highest-grossing films of her career.

#4 Gigi and Bella Hadid

Gyllenhaal is a well-known name in Hollywood. The sister, Maggie, played Nanny McPhee in the 2010 fantasy comedy Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang.
The younger brother, Jake, was exposed to movies earlier than his sister because of his family's ties to the industry. He made quite a name for himself, having played in many movies, big and small.
