12 Teenage Idols From the ’00s Who Now Have Kids of Their Own

In the 2000s, we went crazy for famous actors and singers like Britney Spears, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, and many others. We rushed to watch their shows, played their songs on repeat, and bought magazines with them on the cover. Some of our idols were teens themselves back in those days, but now, they’re proud parents of their own children.
Time flies, and here at Bright Side, we can’t believe the teenage stars we loved in the ‘00s are all grown up with kids, and we wonder if you feel the same way.
