Gwyneth Paltrow Rejects 'Nepo Baby' Label, Defends Following in Parents' Footsteps
Gwyneth Paltrow rejects the term "nepo baby" as an "ugly moniker," expressing her hope that her children will feel free to pursue their own passions regardless of societal judgment. The term went viral in 2022, prompting other actors who are children of actors, such as Kate Hudson and Jamie Lee Curtis, to share their perspectives on nepotism in Hollywood. Paltrow, the daughter of actor Blythe Danner and director/producer Bruce Paltrow, believes that growing up in a creative household influences one's interests, just as growing up in a legal family would shape discussions around the table.
