The early '00s marked the dawn of a particularly strange era in pop culture: celebrity babies.
With A-list offspring becoming the hottest commodity in Hollywood, suddenly it wasn't just about who was wearing what on the red carpet — it was all about whose adorable mini-me was gracing the covers of Vanity Fair, US Weekly and People magazine.
Remember when little Shiloh Jolie-Pitt became the most photographed bub on the planet? These tiny tots were commanding million-dollar paydays for their first photos, and fans couldn't get enough.
The obsession with celebrity babies was big business for tabloids and magazines, with exclusive baby pics guaranteeing skyrocketing sales and publications locked in bidding wars for the first glimpse of the newborns.
It was all... a bit weird.
And no babies got the same level of attention as a celebrity couple's firstborn. Sorry Harlow, Cruz and Romeo, but this was Brooklyn Beckham's world and we were living in it. From Apple Martin to Suri Cruise, these famous offspring were thrust into the spotlight before they could even walk.
These kids grew up before the world stage in the early '00s but guess what? They're all grown up now. Get ready to feel about 100 years old as we dig through what they're up to as young adults.
