Some celebrity kids not only have famous parents, but also famous godparents.

Jennifer Aniston was named godmother of Courteney Cox's daughter, Coco, in 2004. Cox welcomed Coco with her ex-husband, David Arquette, one month after the Friends season 10 finale.

"Happy birthday my sweet Cocolicious!" Aniston captioned an Instagram Story to celebrate Coco's 17th birthday in June 2021 — showing that the longtime bond is stronger than ever.

There are also many grown-up stars who've long had famous figures in their lives. Iconic filmmaker Steven Spielberg counts both Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow as his goddaughters.

"Steven told me, 'Don't act your characters. Be your characters," Barrymore told The New York Times in 2014. "Once I got older and kept continuing acting, I don't know if I would have succeeded without that advice, because that's the thing that saved me. I'm not an actor, I'm a pretender."
