10 Celebs Who Raised Kids With Golden Hearts
The world of Hollywood and fame can look like something very strange and distant to ordinary people, but we can’t forget that celebrities are also regular people, just like us. A lot of them don’t let all the fame and money get to their heads, but instead, they use their “power” for good and to help those in need. What’s even better is that they teach their children to be kind at heart too.
Bright Side would like to introduce you to 10 children of celebrities who definitely take after their parents when it comes to caring for and helping other people.
1. Will Smith’s son, Jaden
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have most definitely raised a great son; as the actor and rapper, Jaden Smith, has been fighting the battle against homelessness. Jaden is opening a restaurant called I Love You that will allow homeless people to eat healthily for free.
To further prove our point of how great he is, he spent his twenty-first birthday feeding the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles with his vegan food truck of the same name. He is an example of great parenting that has shaped someone so young, influencing him to expand his business venture to be able to take care of a lot more people who are often ignored by others.
2. Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber
Save With Stories is a charitable initiative that partnered with the charities, Save The Children and No Kid Hungry, in order to raise money for vulnerable children. A lot of celebrities, including Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber, appeared on the story-telling series, where they read children’s books out loud for kids in self-isolation.
According to Kaia, in these times of need, it’s important to find momentary happiness and to come together as a community to help those in need.
3. Stephen Baldwin’s daughter, Hailey Bieber
Stephen Baldwin’s daughter, Hailey Bieber, was one of the many celebrities who promoted the Fyre Festival, and despite the event not delivering on its promises, Hailey did. She generously donated all the money she earned from it to charity.
This is not the only charitable work of hers though. She and her husband, Justin Bieber, hosted a charity art event to promote art education in underprivileged communities. She also took part in a fundraiser through Unicef for children in need of medical attention, clean water, food, and education.

He and his wife, Meghan Markle, are also the founders of the Archewell foundation that drives systemic cultural change.

Jon Voight’s daughter, Angelina Jolie, is yet another celebrity with a heart of gold. Just like Ben Stiller, she was a UN Refugee Agency ambassador until 2012, when she was appointed Special Envoy, and she’s been visiting refugee camps and helping people in need ever since she was in her early twenties. She and Stella McCartney launched the Draw Me To Safety campaign alongside War Child UK, which helps children in war-torn countries.
