There are numerous celebrity buddies among the rich and famous. They work in the same industry, they go to the same parties and sometimes they have dated the same people! When celebrities have children and the grown-ups hang out together, it figures that the children are also going to mix and hopefully form a lasting friendship.

Some celebrities have children who have really hit it off and become great friends. Who knows how long these friendships will last in the fickle world of celebrity, but we are enjoying the sweet stories of the mini celebs having fun just like any other children.

While these play dates and friendships may be normal for celebrities, for us looking on, it is a delightful insight into celebrities’ private lives and fascinating to see the next generation and wonder what relationships might form in the future.

As many of the children will go into similar professions to their parents and will naturally spend time together, it could be that some of these friendships will last to adulthood and possibly involve future romances. It’s a sweet thought that an ice cream or play date shared in childhood might develop into a professional or romantic relationship in the future.
