In Philippine showbiz, it’s fairly common to see celebrity kids carrying on the legacy of their famous parents.

The latest to make waves are the twins of Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzalez, Atasha and Andres who are set to star with them in a sitcom for TV5.

The sitcom marks Andres’s inaugural venture into the industry, while Atasha has gone ahead familiarizing herself with television having joined the cast of Eat Bulaga! weeks ago.

Meanwhile, other celebrity kids are anticipated by netizens to enter showbiz.

They are those who have already expressed their interest in the industry or have begun exploring related fields such as modeling.

With their stunning looks and the talent genes inherited from their parents, here are the 12 celebrity kids—most of them in their 20s, some in their early teens—we’re eagerly hoping will make their mark in showbiz!

KENDRA KRAMER

Kicking off this list is Kendra Kramer, the eldest daughter of former basketball player Doug Kramer, and actress Cheska Garcia.

Many people are saying that Kendra looks like the 2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray.

Now a blooming 14-year-old fashionista, she also has been winning admiration for her amazing sense of style.

Her parents Doug and Chesca have shared that Kendra’s top priority at the moment is school, although she occasionally engages in fun shoots, such as the avant-garde shoot done by Jerick Sanchez in January 2022.

A star in the making, Kendra she has already embarked on multiple brand collaborations and photo shoots, including becoming the face of local skin-care brand Luxe Organic alongside her mother Cheska.

ABRAHAM LAWYER

In November 2023, Abraham Lawyer, the 20-year-old son of Melanie Marquez, was spotted supporting his sister Michelle Dee at the Miss Universe 2023 pageant in El Salvador. He has since them become a social media darling.

With growing interest in Abraham, many wonder if he will follow in his family’s footsteps and pursue a career in showbiz.

He may or he may not as his interest seems to be elsewhere.

Abraham had said in an interview by MJ Felipe of ABS-CBN news, “Showbiz, that’s not my thing. I’m gonna be honest, I’ll try it. It doesn’t hurt to try or explore.

“But modeling, going on the runway, and photo shoots, that seems to be something a lot more in my liking.”

Would he care to join a male pageantry then?

He said, “That one, I’m just not gonna do it.”

Abraham has recently been booking modeling gigs in the Philippines, but he’s currently back in the States to complete his studies.

SANTINO ROSALES

Santino Rosales has won over netizens with his killer looks, clearly taking after his dad, Jericho Rosales, and his mom, the former model Kai Palomares.

Back in August 2020, Santino inked a deal with Viva Artist Agency. However, he hasn’t taken the plunge into showbiz just yet, whether it’s acting or hosting gigs.

In interviews, Santino has made it clear that he doesn’t see himself trailing his dad and would rather carve out his own path and excel in the world of modeling.

Presently, he sits as treasurer on the board of the Professional Models Association of the Philippines.

Apart from modeling, Santino is equally enthusiastic about football.

He was previously a member of the Kaya Football Club and is now playing for the Davao Aguilas Football Club Team.

An entrepreneur as well, Santino is his mom’s partner in Kaisaint: Skews and Brews, a restaurant venture.

ERIKA AND MIKAELA POTURNAK

In 2020, Erika Poturnak, the eldest daughter of Ina Raymundo and Brian Poturnak, became an official addition to Cornerstone Entertainment Inc.’s roster of artists.

She has not fully engaged herself in showbiz yet as she is presently occupied with completing her music degree at the Berklee College of Music in the States.

Thus, she will likely pursue a career in music once she becomes officially active in the local entertainment scene.

Just as good-looking as Erika is her younger sister, Mikaela Jade, who prefers to keep a low profile and not be distracted from her high school studies.

KIERA CLAIRE BALLESTEROS

Fifteen-year-old Keira Claire is Paolo Ballesteros’s daughter with his non-showbiz ex-girlfriend Katrina Nevada.

Having a famous father, however, Kiera has managed to avoid the limelight to focus on her studies.

In a December 2016 PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) interview, Paolo mentioned that he’s been approached a number of times regarding potential projects for Kiera.

But Kiera, aside from her occasional TV appearances with her father, could not be persuaded.

Nevertheless, he had expressed full support for his daughter should she decide a career in showbiz.

The Internet is full of amusing and lovable photos and moments between 12-year-old Ellie Eigenmann and her parents Andi Eigenmann and Andi’s former partner Jake Ejercito.

And with her adorable looks and wit, Ellie always delights whenever she appears on either Andi or Jake’s feeds.

While it’s premature to predict, if she decides to pursue a career in showbiz in the future, her presence will undoubtedly illuminate the star-studded world.

JACOB EJERCITO

Jake Ejercito’s younger brother Jacob Ejercito also possesses the qualities of a leading man.

Given the family’s background in acting, it would come as no surprise if Jacob were to soon venture into the world of acting as well.

Juamee, 18, is the son of Willie and model Liz Almoro. His parents got married in 2005 and had their marriage annulled in 2008.

Juamee impressed the netizens with his drumming skills, proving that he is “indeed Willie Revillame’s son.”

AUSTIN RAMSAY

At 18, Austin Ramsay can be the next teen heartthrob should he choose to enter showbiz.

EMMANUELLE ATIENZA

Can we expect her in showbiz soon?
