NEPO FOOTSTEPS

Courteney previously spoke out about her daughter Coco.
Speaking to People last September, the TV and movie star revealed her daughter doesn’t really share her passion for being neat and tidy.
“Every now and then, she’ll be like, ‘Mom, I cleaned out my room and I feel so good.’
“And I go, ‘That’s a feeling you could have all the time,’ and it just doesn’t happen,” she said,
What is a Nepo Baby?
The term ‘nepo’ is short for ‘nepotism’, which refers to favouritism granted to relatives or close friends, often in a professional context.
A ‘nepo baby’ is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.
Key Characteristics:
- Inherited advantage: Nepo babies often benefit from their family’s established reputation, wealth, or industry connections.
- Access to networks: They typically have easier access to influential networks and resources within their chosen field.
- Public perception: The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that their success is not entirely merit-based.
Industries Affected:
- Entertainment: Many actors, musicians, and other performers are often labeled as nepo babies if they have famous parents.
- Business: Individuals who inherit or are given significant roles in family-owned businesses.
- Politics: Politicians who follow in the footsteps of their parents or other relatives.
Examples:
- Children of famous actors who become actors themselves.
- Heirs to business empires who assume executive roles.
- Offspring of political figures who enter public office.
The concept of nepo babies is often debated, with some arguing that it undermines the notion of meritocracy.
Meanwhile, others believe that it is natural for families to support and help each other succeed
She went on to add: “She’s getting older and she does live on her own, and she does take pride in that, which I think is good.
SWEET WORDS
“But no, I don’t think she has my gene in the same way, and I don’t have hers.
“Listen, she’s a great singer. She’s a great writer. She has so many qualities that I don’t have, so that’s okay.”
Meanwhile, Iris previously appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show and spoke about her mom and dad’s marriage.
Speaking about Leslie and Judd, Iris said: “They are very much so what I look for in my love life.”
She added how they “just sit together for like four hours just talking and I’m like, ‘Wow, what are you guys talking about?’”.
