He hails from an acting dynasty and his father is an iconic comedic star... can YOU guess the nepo baby?
He hails from an acting dynasty and is the son of a beloved Hollywood couple.
This 19-year-old has dabbled in acting as well, with roles in four different projects (all of which involve his father).
His parents, whose marriage survived a three-year breakup, even played love interests in the massive hit comedy Zoolander.
The acting bug clearly runs in his family, as his late grandparents are also famous stars.
On Wednesday night, this teen attended the premiere of his sister's off-Broadway show Dilaria alongside their parents.
Can you guess who this nepo baby is?
He's the son of a beloved Hollywood couple who has followed his parents' footsteps into the acting world
It's Quinlin Dempsey Stiller, the 19-year-old son of Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor!
The famous actors attended the premiere of their daughter Ella Stiller's off-Broadway play Dilaria on Wednesday and brought along Quinlin.
The trio proudly supported Ella on her big night as they posed up a storm together on the red carpet.
She costars with Emily Carey (HBO's House of the Dragon) and Kaci Walfall (CW's Naomi) in the show.
The director is Alex Keegan.
The play follows Ella in the title role of Dilaria, 'a rich, young girl who finds there's nothing more powerful on social media than your classmate dying tragically young,' according to a synopsis on Playbill.
Both Ella and Quinlin come from showbiz legends.
Not only are their parents Ben and Christine well-known, but their grandparents are also famous: grandpa is the late Jerry Stiller and his wife is the late Anne Meara.
Jerry and Anne were a comedy team in the 1960s called Stiller and Meara.
Quinlin's acting resume contains just a few acting credits, and his father is in the cast for every project he's taken on.
His first-ever role was in the 2008 animated film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a movie which also starred his father.
Quinlin was just three at the time of the movie's release and lent his voice to the role of Baby Alex.
Next was another voice acting role in the 2010 film Megamind, followed by an uncredited role as Child on London Bus in the 2014 flick Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.
His most recent role was in the 2021 comedy caper starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor, Locked Down, in which he played the son of his father's character.
Like her brother, Ella has also pursued acting - and many of her projects somehow incorporate her father as well.
Ella has already acted in the 2018 limited series Escape at Dannemora (directed by her dad), as well as three other projects which include her father in the cast - Adam Sandler's 2020 hit Hubie Halloween, an uncredited appearance in 2014's Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, and as a voice actor in 2010's Megamind.
She's also appeared in two short films - and has another project coming up - however her father was not involved in those projects.
Ben and Christine have been married since 2000 but they split up in 2017 before reconciling in 2020.
Earlier this year, Ben revealed his parent's relationship motivated him to rekindle with Christine during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Despite recalling how his mother and father, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, butted heads during their 60-year marriage, the actor explained he was inspired by their commitment to one another to never lose hope on the possibility of reconciliation.
'My dad was committed to turning their relationship into something that they could make a living doing a comedy act about,' Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter. 'And my mom didn't really love that as much, but she was really good at it, and that affected their relationship.'
Ultimately, Ben acknowledged he began to repeat some of his parents' dynamics when it came to allowing his career impact his marriage.
'You start making movies, and if they don't go well, that would affect me,' he said.
After he and Taylor called it quits following 17 years of marriage in 2017, Stiller said he didn't expect them 'to get back together.'
'When we broke up, there was a part of me that wasn't ready to just give up on it. Probably a certain amount of that is having watched my parents,' he admitted. 'And I love Christine, I love my family, and I was not ready to just go, "OK, enough of this."'
During their time apart, Ben and Taylor never never formally filed for divorce.
Ben's parented stayed married from 1954 until her death in 2015. His dad passed five years later in 2020.
Although, at times, he still has to be 'pulled from' work, Ben insists he is more balanced now.
'I also really love hanging out with my family and Christine and having fun together,' he said. 'So I'm happy that I didn't totally miss the boat on that.'

Chrishell Stause reveals her 'last attempt' to start family with G Flip as she reflects on IVF 'hell'
Chrishell Stause has revealed she is making one 'last attempt' at getting pregnant with partner G Flip. The couple, who tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2023, have been very open about their desire to have children and the painful side-effects of the IVF process. Now, the Selling Sunset star, 43, has revealed post she doesn't wish to go through the 'hell' of IVF injections again, adding: 'Back on the IVF hell train. I think this may be my last attempt. There are other alternatives, but this route needed to be tried first bc of timing. So if it's meant to be, it will be. If not, pivot.' Alongside the caption, Chrishell included a photo of her follicle-stimulating hormone and the pen used to inject it into her body. Chrishell disclosed in April she and G Flip, 31, are 'actively trying' to expand their family and have taken medical steps towards their goal. 'I'm literally still bleeding from a shot I had to just give myself,' Chrishell shared while speaking to Us Weekly at the Tryst hotel opening in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. G Flip previously opened up about the desire to have children with Chrishell. The singer said on the People Every Day podcast in May 2022: 'I definitely see children in my future. Right now, me and Chrishell know where we are in the stages of our lives. And we're very transparent about that. 'I love children. I was a music teacher for years before I became a session drummer and then a solo artist. So I was like, I've always loved kids and yeah, definitely one day that'll be in the future.' Chrishell and G Flip first met at a Halloween party in 2021, approximately two years after the collapse of Chrishell's marriage to Justin Hartley. They started dating in March 2022 and went public with their relationship that May before getting married in secret the following year.

Fashion outrage as on-set photos of TV series fail to nail Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's style
In fashion, only the real favourites have acronyms. See SJP for Sarah Jessica Parker, ALT for fashion editor André Leon Talley and – particularly relevant right now – CBK for Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The wife of John F Kennedy Jr who died in a plane crash in 1999 is sometimes seen as America's answer to Princess Diana. Like Diana, she was loved for her style – dubbed minimalist, chic or 'quiet luxury'. Instagram is full of accounts posting archive images of her, influential brands like The Row, Toteme and Gabriela Hearst design clothes that channel her approach to dressing and there have been books and auctions in recent years. The full extent of the deification became clear this week, when images of actor Sarah Pidgeon as Bessette Kennedy in Ryan Murphy's forthcoming Kennedys Netflix series American Love Story were seen for the first time. In one image on Murphy's Instagram, Pidgeon is pictured wearing a rumpled knee-length brown coat, cropped trousers and black polo neck, with a Birkin bag, and bright blond hair, while on-set images show her in a satin midi skirt, Converse and leathery jacket. There was an immediate reaction online, and it's fair to say fans do not approve. 'This is fashion murder,' wrote one in the comments of the Murphy post. 'Whoever styled cbk needs to be fired,' wrote another. Details seem to particularly irk – from the wrong shade of blond (Bessette Kennedy's hair colourist, Brad Johns, described it as 'too 2024') to the bag. Eagle-eyed observers have noticed it's a Birkin 35, a slight variation from her preferred Birkin 40. Such is the outrage that Murphy, in an interview with the fashion industry newsletter Line Sheet, described the images as a 'work in progress' and clarified that the 'right' items would be swapped in, including that Birkin bag. He admitted that the reaction had taken him by surprise. 'I had no idea that people cared as much as they do, but I guess that's a good thing,' he said. Twenty online experts on Bessette Kennedy's style have been approached to consult on the wardrobe. Murphy, whose work has often taken on real-life figures, from Truman Capote to Joan Crawford, is no stranger to fashion on screen. He made The Assassination of Gianni Versace in 2018 and Halston, about the 70s designer, in 2021. This is the first time, however, one of his productions has taken on a fashion icon that has citizen archivists logging her every look online. This contrast is the issue, argues fashion writer Liana Satenstein. 'I don't know if you can include the painstaking research in a miniseries that has such an element of camp to it,' she argues. 'It would be this bizarre dichotomy.' The legend around Bessette Kennedy's style has reached mythical level in the 26 years since her death. A publicist at Calvin Klein, she began dating Kennedy in 1994. The two became the focus of paparazzi, with photographers snapping Bessette Kennedy on the streets of New York, wearing labels like Calvin Klein (then designed by Narciso Rodriguez), Yohji Yamamoto, Prada and Comme des Garçons, but also staples like jeans, white shirts and polo necks. Fans talk about the way she tailored her jeans, and how she removed labels from designer clothing. In an era where personal style is seen as the ultimate status symbol in fashion, it's these details that have made Bessette Kennedy a lodestar. 'It was 'this is me, this is Carolyn, take it or leave it,'' says Sunita Kumar Nair, the author of CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, a Life in Fashion. Amy Odell, who writes the fashion newsletter Back Row and is working on a biography of Gwyneth Paltrow, says it's in contrast to now. 'Many 'it girls' today have stylists and personal shoppers,' she argues. 'Now, personal style is bought and sold. This was just her taste, how she put herself together every day.' Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Jack Sehnert runs the @carolynbessette Instagram account, which has 63,000 followers. He says the popularity of Bessette Kennedy archive images grew because they were a tonic to the existing aesthetic. 'Instagram was a barrage of logos and colourful glitz up until about five years ago, when her image started popping up again alongside references from the show Succession,' he argues. 'When the term 'quiet luxury' went viral, who could have possibly been a better poster girl? The striking images we all know resonate with an entirely new generation because of their elegant simplicity.' But with close to three decades of interest in her style, it's become a 'get the look' commodity. 'It goes from real woman to paparazzi shot to an image you see on your screen to a flat lay [of clothing items] to the product that you ultimately buy online,' says Daniel Rogers, the fashion news editor at Vogue. Satenstein agrees. 'We've been taking this woman's existence and putting it on a Pinterest board [for a long time],' she says. 'It's a little sad, because I don't think she had a say in it. [It happened to] Jane Birkin [too] but she passed away later in life, and had some agency over herself.' How should Murphy and his team improve Pidgeon's outfits before the show debuts next year? When asked if she will be consulting on the project, Kumar Nair replied 'No comment' but she does say it's 'very smart' to speak to online experts, and suggests also involving those who knew Bessette Kennedy, like Rodriguez, Calvin Klein and her sister, Lisa. 'I would be semi-humble about it and ask them to talk,' she says, adding '[Bessette Kennedy] was a major curation herself. So that's how you would have to approach it.'

Tarek El Moussa announces shock new chapter with wife Heather after Las Vegas bust-up
Tarek El Moussa is trying to put his Las Vegas altercation behind him and move – literally - into a new chapter with his wife Heather Rae El Moussa. In a joint post on Instagram, the Flip or Flop alum, 43, and Selling Sunset alum, 36, revealed that they had bought a new house. 'We have some news….We're moving!!! We are so excited for this new chapter and new adventure for our family,' their caption began. 'We can't wait to make this house a home and add our El Moussa design flare and show you guys some of the process.' In the video, the love birds entered their new home through the massive front door. At one point, they turned to each other and kissed to celebrate their new home. In another part of the video, Heather held up different swatches of color as she planned out the interior design of the house. The celebratory post comes after Tarek was involved in an altercation at The Palazzo at the Venetian hotel earlier this month. Witnesses claimed that Tarek drove his knee into the man's head, knocking him out. A source told at the time that Tarek was defending his elderly father when the squabble occurred. The HGTV personality was cited for battery for the incident but was not arrested over it. TMZ obtained a Las Vegas Metropolitan PD report that alleges the violent bust-up was captured on casino surveillance video. According to the report, the fight kicked off after Tarek's alleged victim allegedly bumped into the HGTV star's father's chair at a roulette table inside The Palazzo. The bump reportedly upset Tarek's father, who allegedly turned around in his seat to face the man. After Tarek's father turned his back, the man allegedly tapped him on the right shoulder and said something to him that reportedly caused Tarek, who was seated near his father, to get involved. Tarek allegedly got up from his seat and 'charged at the man, pushing him back before the two got into a 'fighting stance.'' After pummeling his head with punches, he reportedly climbed on his back and continued the assault. Tarek then walked away. The man, who remains unidentified, wants to press charges, according to the police report. Meanwhile, Heather announced she's launching a homewear collection with SHEIN. 'I have been working on bringing luxury design to our flips and really elevating them, and I'm all about finding things that are budget-friendly so consumers can find things attainable,' Heather told People. 'I'm really into neutral tones right now, but then adding pops of color with, say, flowers. 'So adding a vase to a house and then adding real flowers, that's my favorite thing to do every single week,' she added. Heather's line with SHEIN includes decor, furniture, home accessories and more, set in a neutral color palette. But Heather's favorite items in her collection include the dishwasher-safe, scratch-free plates and bowls, 'which are a must for my household because of the kids,' she noted. 'I've bought things in the past that were not dishwasher-safe, and it was a nightmare for me. So, these plates were my favorite.' She also loves some of the outdoor lounge chairs. 'It just made me feel like I was on a vacation, which, having three kids now and a husband, you don't always get that,' she admitted. 'So anytime I can have a glass of rosé by the pool, that's a must for me.'
