If that is not a sequel or a remake, then an oversized family is what Hollywood adores the most. While some celebrities may choose to keep their homes small and private, others practically turn family life into their part-time production. From legendary musicians to TV stars and Oscar winners, these celebs have built families big enough to fit in a minivan, or maybe even start their own soccer league. Check out the list of the most massive celebrity families.
10. Steven Spielberg – 7 Children
The fellow who brought us E.T. and Jurassic Park has also directed one of the most accomplished family casts in Hollywood. Spielberg is the father of seven kids—Max, Jessica, Theo, Sasha, Sawyer, Mikaela, and Destry—via both biological and adoptive means. With creativity certainly in the genes, it’s no wonder a number of them are making their own careers as artists.
9. Mick Jagger – 8 Children
Rock ‘n’ roll never sleeps—and neither does Mick Jagger’s family tree. The Rolling Stones lead singer has eight children over the course of five decades, from his eldest daughter Karis to his youngest son Deveraux, born when Jagger was 73 years old. Along the way, he has Georgia May, James, Jade, Elizabeth, Lucas, and Gabriel. That’s one legendary roster.
8. Clint Eastwood – 8 Children
Clint Eastwood doesn’t only have a long roll of film credits—he’s got a long roll of kids as well. The actor-director has eight children: Laurie, Kimber, Kyle, Alison, Scott, Kathryn, Francesca, and Morgan. Like his legendary film characters, Eastwood’s family tree is epic and memorable.
7. Madonna – 6 Kids
The Material Girl is also the ultimate mom. Madonna has six children: Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, and twins Estere and Stella, whom she adopted from Malawi. She’s been open about the instant soul-deep connection she felt with her adopted children, proving that family is about love, not just biology.
6. Alec Baldwin – 7 Kids
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have turned “Baldwinito” into a home nickname due to their busy team. They have seven tiny tots together—Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, Eduardo, Lucia, and Ilaria—as well as Alec’s oldest daughter, Ireland, from his first marriage to Kim Basinger. Their constantly growing family is a whole house full of people.
5. James Van Der Beek – 6 Kids
The Dawson’s Creek actress swapped teen drama for domestic life and never glanced back. James and his wife, Kimberl, have six children—Olivia, Joshua, Annabel, Emilia, Gwendolyn, and Jeremiah. Van Der Beek frequently posts endearing insights into fatherhood, referring to the experience as a “lifelong masterclass” informed by love, adversity, and resilience.
4. Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt – 6 Kids
Although no longer a couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still connected by their six kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Their diverse family, comprised of both adopted and biological children, has always been admired for its differences and the individual trajectory each child is taking.
3. Eddie Murphy – 10 Kids
Comedy icon Eddie Murphy likely has one of Hollywood’s largest families. With ten kids—Eric, Christian, Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, Bella, Angel, Izzy, and Max—house life is never dull. Murphy joked at one point that his house is always like a party, and that’s an easy thing to imagine with that many people with that many different personalities living in the same household.
2. Nick Cannon – 12 Kids
Nick Cannon is Hollywood’s biggest current family. With twelve children and six different mothers, his tribe consists of twins Moroccan and Monroe (with Mariah Carey), and Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen, Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir, Beautiful Zeppelin, Legendary Love, Onyx Ice Cole, Halo Marie, and the late Zen. Cannon describes fatherhood as thrilling him every day—and with a dozen children, he’s got enough to occupy him.
1. Music Royalty: Hanson, Marley & More
Whereas Nick Cannon is today’s reigning king of many dads, music dynasties have been accomplishing this for generations. Taylor Hanson of Hanson has seven kids, Ziggy Marley has seven of his own, and Bob Marley sired at least eleven. Large families obviously run in the beat, with jam sessions serving as family time. And then there are Hollywood clans such as the Hiltons, Stallones, and Kardashians—each of them demonstrating that in Tinseltown, the bigger the family, the bigger the headlines.
So the next time your family reunion is all too much to handle, just keep in mind—some Hollywood celebrities are operating households large enough to be their own neighborhoods. Celebvillelle, there’s always space for one more, particularly if the spotlight is on you.
