When you’re a star as big as Eminem or Steph Curry, you might cast a shadow that is too big to get away from. That is especially true for their siblings. Did you even know the real Slim Shady had a brother? Be prepared because this list of celebrities with siblings you hardly hear about will surprise you.
J-Lo’s Sister Lynda Lopez
The stunning entertainer Jennifer Lopez doesn’t have a hard time staying in the spotlight. One seductive post on Instagram and boom, the star is once again the topic of every conversation. However, have you heard of her sister, Lynda Lopez? Lynda is two years younger than Jennifer and was a former New York television journalist who is also a single mom.
That’s one thing that Jennifer praises her younger sister about, how great of a parent her sister Lynda is. “I just love and respect her so much. She’s a single mom but not like I’m a single mom,” Lopez told US Magazine. “I have a lot of help — she doesn’t.”
This Wizard Has A Brother
Ever since Emma Watson came into our lives as a young and zesty wizard on Harry Potter, she has amassed a huge following. While her biggest fans might be aware, others may not have a clue that Emma has a brother named Alex Watson. Alex is a model who has done campaigns for Burberry.
The two share similarities in appearance, so maybe Emma could step into some modeling as well? Alex was also an extra in one of the Harry Potter films. You get extra points if you know which one.

Mandi Gosling Stole The Show At The 2017 Oscars
When Ryan Gosling took his little sister, Mandi, as his date to the 89th Academy Awards, the internet lost its mind. It wasn’t the first time his older sister accompanied her A-lister brother out, but her flawless outfit landed her amongst the headlines.
Although Mandi leads a relatively private life, she’s very talented in her own right behind the scenes. Her YouTube channel includes clips from California State University Northridge’s TV shows On–Point and Valley View News. Even more impressive, she has assisted and produced episodes of Dateline and Miss Advised, and cast the people in Pharrell’s viral music video for “Happy.”
The First Smith Son
Long before Willow Smith was whipping her head back and forth and Jaden Smith was doing his rendition of Karate Kid, there was the first son that Will Smith became a parent to, and his name is Trey Smith. Born in 1992, the 25-year-old isn’t in the limelight as much as Willow and Jaden.
We first saw Trey when he was in the “Just The Two Of Us” music video. He was a star football player in school and was even offered a scholarship but chose to pursue a career in music like his father and other two siblings did. Trey has released some of his own music but he hasn’t found the same success as his siblings or father.
This next one might come as a complete surprise.
The Pitt We Don’t Hear About
Brad Pitt probably gained more clout to his name by being with Angelina Jolie than his brother Doug Pitt has accumulated in his whole career. We hardly, if ever, hear about Doug and that isn’t by accident. He likes to stay out of the attention of media and lives in his home state of Missouri. One thing he isn’t fond of is questions about his brother.
“I appreciate the interest . I understand why people want to ask about him,” he told NOVA FM. “But I’ve answered the same question for 25 years. And so, you do go a little bit on autopilot… Again, I appreciate the interest. I’m really proud of him.”
Rihanna’s Brother Rajad Fenty
That’s right, the island queen has a younger sibling that rarely is talked about. Rihanna AKA Robyn Fenty has a younger brother by the name of Rajad Fenty. Being that the singing sensation is always working hard whether it be with music or her makeup line, she hardly gets to spend time with family. When she does have time for the family, you can catch her living it up with her mom and dad she loves dearly and her younger brother, Rajad. The two are really close despite the restricted amount of time they get to spend together.
Next in line, the rap god has a brother?
Cara Delevigne’s Model Sister Is Just As Buzz-Worthy
Cara Delevigne, high fashion model, actress and Taylor Swift bestie, rose to fame alongside her girl squad when she was featured in a Burberry spring/summer campaign in 2011. It turns out the famed model also has super-successful model sister who’s wildly successful in the high fashion circuit but hardly known to mainstream media.
Polly Delevigne has worked for numerous brands including Alberta Ferretti and Burberry. In many ways, she paved the way for younger sis Cara to have a rich career. She’s also had roles in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Elvis & Nixon. She even has three films and a TV series coming out in 2018.
Steph Vs. Seth

Steph Curry, who hasn’t heard of the MVP and NBA champion? The guy can literally shoot from anywhere and when he shoots it, the chances of him making it are higher than most. Curry has played on only one team for his entire career and is a staple in the NBA. But did you know he has a brother who also plays in the NBA?
Seth Curry, the younger brother of Steph, currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks. He isn’t as freakishly talented of a player as his brother Steph, but he has the same shooting touch. They briefly played on the same team before the Warriors decided to cut him.
Celebrity Siblings That You Hardly Hear About
Due to the obscurities surrounding Tom Cruise’s religious beliefs as a Scientologist, some matters in his personal life are not put on full display. We know Cruise is a great actor and that he is apart of the cultish religion but something most have not known about is his sister. Who you see above is Lee Ann Mapother DeVette.
When Tom’s very first girlfriend was interviewed she was asked about his family and siblings. “I think he grew up too fast but he was very close with his three sisters. One time he said he’s so close with them they taught him how to kiss,” she told the Daily Mail.
Would You Get Them Confused?
Actor Josh Hutcherson who all of you are most familiar with his role as Peeta from the Hunger Games series isn’t the only child his parents produced. After gaining much acclaim for playing a part in Katniss Everdeen’s love triangle, Hutcherson became a product of fan love.
But something fans might not have even realized is that he has a younger brother, Connor Hutcherson. “I am more handsome than Josh is, well jokes apart; it is ironic how people get confused with me and him, we don’t look alike at all,” Connor said.
No jokes coming up next, they are really related!
Lizzie McGuire’s Older Sis Is A Lifetime Movie Star
Though Haylie Duff never received the same recognition as her younger sister Hilary Duff, she may actually have more credits to her name (they’re just rather niche). Haylie is a full-blown Lifetime movie star having roles in The Wedding Pact, Holiday Engagement, Christmas Belle and more. The mom of one is most recognizable for her short-lived role on the CW family drama 7th Heaven, but she also had a part in the cult-favorite Napoleon Dynamite. These two sisters were a powerhouse of family-friendly television from the get go – not mention, the resemblance is uncanny.

Being one of the most famous superheroes is a not a task easily handled. Especially for one that likes to take his shirt off with a body of an Olympian. For Chris Evans, he is used to the attention, however, for his brother Scott Evans, he receives a different type of attention due to his sexuality.
Chris’ brother Scott is gay, and Chris encourages others to see and embrace other lifestyles different from your own. “It’s important to understand, whether it’s growing up with women, whether it’s growing up with other ethnic groups… it’s important to experience anything different from what you know. To encourage and cultivate compassion and understanding,” Chris said.
A Cruz Of A Relationship
Penélope Cruz was signed by an agent at 15 and made her acting debut at 16. She’s always had the good looks and acting skills to pair with it and clearly, she’s always had a sister who is equally as charming. She just isn’t on the same level of Penélope.

Scarlett Is A Twin
Here we have another Marvel superhero and she goes by the name of Scarlett Johansson. Another Hollywood beauty who many probably had no clue is a twin! They aren’t identical but still, having a fraternal twin is something anyone could enjoy. Hunter should be amused that practically every guy finds his sister to be one of the hottest women on Earth. Hunter is also an actor, at the start of his career. The twins shared the screen in a film called Manny & Lo.
The Lawrence Siblings
Jennifer Lawrence displays her sense of humor whenever she gets the chance. Her fans know how funny she is and so do the casual fans who watch the award shows. She is a great entertainer and she also has two bearded brothers. Their names are Blaine and Ben Lawrence.
They for sure know what their sister does for a living but if you ask Jennifer what either of them do, she is at a loss for words. “God, I don’t know,” she answered. “It’s something with computers… It’s something called Louisville Geek I think. I think he goes to an office?”
Give Me Some Advice, Bro
A brotherly bond is a bond that can’t be duplicated. Once the two of you become close, it’s like you have another brain on your side. You can go to them for anything, especially advice. Can you believe that Zac Efron has a brother named Dylan? They actually live together too!
“If I’m dating someone, one of the few people I need to weigh in on the situation is my brother,” Zac told Cosmopolitan. “We live together, and we’re different in a lot of ways, but he’s really grounded. He lived a more normal life than I did growing up, so he’s a great barometer for me.”
The Other Michael Jordan Has A Sister
Yet again another Marvel actor, Michael B. Jordan has been making waves in the entertainment world ever since his breakthrough performance in the film Fruitvale Station. Jordan acts in all types of films and doesn’t like to be put in a box but he is also very particular about the roles he picks. One thing he isn’t particular about is showing love to his sister.
“I have a sister. I never really wanted to do females wrong. You can’t act like that,” the actor told Oprah. “So, you don’t want to treat any woman any differently than you’d want a man to treat your sister,” Oprah says. “One hundred and ten percent,” Jordan agrees.

But I’ve got news for you — it’s a losing f–king battle. The more you fight it, the more f–ked-up your kid’s gonna be. You’ve just got to embrace it from the beginning.

When asked if having that last name helps, she boldly responded: “It helps, not because Sofia helped me. It’s not like that. I did everything on my own, but it helps because it’s name recognition. She is beloved by the public, and so being related to someone who is so dear is a good thing.”
LiLo’s Strange Relationship With Her Half-Sister

Not A Twin But Still Looks The Same
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been stars since they were toddlers starring in Full House. But even some of their biggest fans may not know about their sister Elizabeth Olsen! Elizabeth started making more of a name for herself as an actress in 2017, making it easier to step out of the shadows of her more successful sisters.
They even gave her advice on dealing with the press. “They’d say, ‘You know, even if you don’t think anyone’s going to read this article, someone might pull the quote later for .’ It’s all part of how you hope someone interprets you, and how they frame who you are and the work you do,” Elizabeth said.
Up next, it was supposed to be just the two of them but that isn’t the case.

Barron Hilton II and Conrad Hilton III are the youngest of the Hilton bunch, which means they are also set to inherit a part of their family’s fortune. So what are these brothers up to today? Sadly, neither of two are strangers to dangerous run-ins with the law. Barron was arrested for driving under the influence in 2008 following Paris’s jail sentence the year before. In June 2016, Conrad was sentenced to prison for violating his parole. A source of Conrad’s parents said, “The news wasn’t a surprise for anyone. Conrad has had a drug problem for years, since he was a teen, and it’s never gotten better.”
The Kardashians Have A Secret Brother
The Kardashian-Jenner clan is already enormous, but there’s one brother who hasn’t been keeping up. You may recognize Brody Jenner from MTV’s The Hills, which aired its final episode in 2010. Since then, the 34-year-old struggled to stay out of the limelight. That’s no easy feat if you’re Kim Kardashian’s half-brother and have a transgender mother who had a highly public transition, that’s proved rather difficult (who else can say their mom was the runner-up for Time‘s Person of the Year). Jenner is estranged from his family, and in 2016, he completely disowned them in the press.

The Other, Other Hemsworth Brother
Chris and Liam Hemsworth definitely worked their way into our conscious with their good looks.

It turns out the pair have another actor brother who’s just as good looking. What the heck is the Hemsworth DNA?
Luke Hemsworth rose to fame in Australia on the soap opera Neighbours, but he wasn’t a crossover hit until his HBO debut on Westworld and when he took a role alongside Chris in Thor. What’s better than working with family?
Kate Hudson’s Older Brother Is Also An Actor
Kate Hudson is a full blown movie star like her mother, Goldie Hawn, but there’s another actress in the family – Kate’s older brother Oliver Hudson. Though Oliver hasn’t gotten the same critical acclaim as his sister, he has had a really rich career (most notably, his role on The Rules of Engagement). In 2002 after starring in My Guide to Becoming A Rock Star, he landed a slot on People’s “50 Most Beautiful People” list. He also owns a movie and TV production company with his sister, mother and step-dad called Cosmic Entertainment, where he’s in charge of the company’s Workshed Entertainment division.
