11 Celebrities Whose Siblings’ Bond Is Stronger Than Any Competition

Siblings are those people with whom we grow up and in some ways represent a support system throughout our lives. Having an older sister or brother is like having a role model for most of us. And vice versa, those of us who are the oldest in the family feel the responsibility of caring for the youngest. However, like all relationships, there are always ups and downs.

We at Bright Side want to share these celebrities who show us that even when they are compared to their siblings, each one shines their light and celebrates the success of the other.

1. Bella and Gigi Hadid

Gigi and Bella Hadid are 2 of the most famous faces in the fashion industry today. Each one possesses a unique beauty, but despite this, Bella has felt the weight of comparisons with her sister from a very young age. At the age of 14, she had a nose job as a way to get rid of people’s comments about her appearance, which she now regrets “I wasn’t cool as Gigi, not as outgoing. That’s really what people said about me”.

However, despite having grown up with insecurities over comparisons of her to her older sister, Bella has always been very dedicated to her work, and Gigi has been there to support Bella. Whether it’s walking down a catwalk together, holding hands when hanging out, or sharing cute pictures on social media, the Hadid sisters prove that love is stronger than other people’s comments.

2. Kylie and Kendall Jenner

The Jenner sisters grew up in the spotlight of a family well-known by the media. And, as if that weren’t enough, the reality show, Keeping up with the Kardashians, has let in the opinions of thousands about their personal lives. Although they are very similar in age, Kylie and Kendall couldn’t be more different.

Kylie has explained that they rarely compete with each other due to having different goals. When she was a teenager, Kendall used to compare herself to Kylie because she had a larger group of friends. However, over time, they both found different paths. Now, Kendall is focused on her modeling career and Kylie builds her business empire, while both of them maintain a strong bond with each other.

3. Dakota and Elle Fanning

Dakota and Elle Fanning share a deep love for acting and have both made solid careers in Hollywood. From a young age, they starred in several movies, and in many of them, Elle played the younger version of Dakota. As a result, they became very close and, despite the media’s opinions, they support each other.

As Dakota explains, she doesn’t want anyone else to be more successful in the Hollywood business than her younger sister, Elle. As children, they used to play games and perform movie scenes at home. This made their bond stronger and even though they share similar goals, they stay connected and celebrate each other’s successes.

4. Serena and Venus Williams

Their differences remain on the court between these sisters. Serena and Venus are 2 of the best-known professional tennis players in the world. And even when they have played as rivals, they both know they are each other’s heroes.

On and off the tennis court, this sister duo has learned a lot from each other. They are both protective and, to Venus, Serena is her biggest inspiration, even though she is her younger sister.

5. Rooney Mara and Kate Mara

Kate Mara is the older sister of Rooney Mara, who’s famous for appearing in the movie, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Both actresses have created their careers in Hollywood. Kate began acting professionally at the age of 14, while Rooney found her passion for acting right after college, following in her sister’s footsteps.

Kate Mara is proud that her younger sister is experiencing the same job as her. Instead of seeing it as a competition, it’s a unique experience that she doesn’t take for granted and enjoys sharing every moment with Rooney.

6. Liam and Chris Hemsworth

When Marvel was casting its next Thor, these 2 Australian brothers competed against each other for the role. And Chris Hemsworth almost lost the role to his younger brother, Liam. But aside from the role of Thor, that was the only time there was any rivalry between them.

Liam has revealed that his older brother, Chris, is his hero in real life. Whenever he feels insecure about a casting, he calls Chris for his professional advice and opinion. Even with a bit of competition between them, they have decided to keep a close relationship and continue to strengthen their special bond.

7. Elizabeth, Mary-Kate, and Ashley Olsen

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen started their careers in Hollywood at a very young age, being one of the most recognizable twins in the media since they starred in the ’90s sitcom, Full House. Nowadays, they have decided to take a break from the big screen and are dedicated to their own high fashion label. But it is Elizabeth, their younger sister, who is making strides in the acting world.

Many people have questioned the Olsen sisters’ relationship, due to the fact that the 3 of them are rarely spotted together in public. But the truth is that they are actually very supportive of each other. Elizabeth has revealed that the twins have given her advice about acting and the right people to work in the industry.

8. Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal

The small age difference between these siblings is not a reason for any kind of rivalry. Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal carry the movie gene, as their father is an esteemed film director. Both have paved their own paths in acting and have shown that each has an undeniable talent for playing leading roles.

Jake remembers that he would go to see his sister Maggie when she acted in high school plays. His admiration for her talent began to awaken in him a desire to pursue the same dreams. And in following in the footsteps of Maggie, he began to snag some small roles, and the rest, for both of them, is history.

9. Dave and James Franco

Growing up in the spotlight can sometimes create a kind of tension, especially when pursuing similar careers. For this brother duo, James and Dave Franco, it has been quite difficult to shake off some of the media buzz. Although they are 7 years apart, they are constantly compared and are said to share the same acting style.

Dave has said that as much as they share a mutual love for one another, he has had to distance himself from his brother so that, professionally, they can be taken seriously separately. However, in 2017, they shared the big screen in the film, The Disaster Artist, also produced by James Franco, earning them both a Golden Globe.

10. Beyoncé and Solange Knowles

Beyoncé and Solange are 2 hard-working sisters who have carved out their paths in music and are comfortable with their success. Many have wondered what it is like for Solange to live in the shadow of her older sister, but the truth is that Solange is a respected artist in her own right and is proud of her sister.

When they were kids, their mom took them to sister therapy, so they could deal with any kind of feelings of jealousy. In addition, her mother made sure to spend quality one-on-one time with each of her daughters. All this early education and family love helped them build a strong bond no matter what.

11. Noah and Miley Cyrus

The youngest of the Cyrus family, Noah, has had to carry the weight of fame not only from her older sister Miley but also from her father, Billy Cyrus. Noah has addressed that growing up with a famous sister caused her to lose her identity when she was a child, “I was told that I’d amount to zero because of my sister’s accomplishments”. Being known as a celebrity sister made her feel like she was living in someone’s shadow until she decided to make a name for herself in the music industry.

Despite Miley’s early success, these 2 sisters have always been very close, and Miley is always supportive of Noah’s new projects. Whether it is on social media or on stage singing together, Miley has shown her deep love and appreciation for her younger sister.
