Take That star Mark Owen's nepo baby daughter follows in his showbiz footsteps as she launches major venture
Mark Owen 's nepo baby daughter Willow is following in his showbiz footsteps as she has launched her very own singing career.
The Take That singer, 53, shares three children - daughters Willow, 16, and Fox, 12, and son Elwood, 18 - with his actress wife Emma Ferguson, who he married in 2009.
And Willow has proven she has inherited her father's singing talents as she has released a handful of tracks to music-hosting website SoundCloud.
She has released a string of original demos over the past six months, with her most recent song Back To Me Now racking up 2,130 views on the platform in just days.
Willow also promoted one of her songs on her TikTok page, where she has already racked up an impressive 55,500 followers.
While it is not known if she has officially launched a singing career formally, her ethereal vocals and songwriting skills have already won over legions of fans online.

Doting father Mark recently shared a link to Willow's latest song Back To Me Now on his Instagram page as he shared his pride over her latest venture.
It is not the first time that Willow has shown on her singing skills as she and her younger sister Fox both featured on Mark's 2022 solo album Land Of Dreams.
Mark told The Sun of his children's talents at the time: 'They are into all their own music but actually they're aware and interested in this, which is nice.
'The girls are singing on the record, doing backing vocals with two girls who have been performing with Foo Fighters, so that was exciting and a nice experience for them.'
MailOnline has contacted Mark's representatives for comment.
Mark and his family were hit by a difficult time earlier this year as they were among the celebrities caught up in the devastating LA wildfires.
The singer and his family were forced to flee their LA home after the wildfire tore through the ritzy enclave of Pacific Palisades.
At the time, Mark's wife Emma hit back at those who branded the wildfires a celebrity crisis as she urged people to remember that many other people had lost everything.
In a passionate speech, she exclaimed: 'I don't give a s**t about my house, I just want Joyce [her neighbour] to be OK.
'I have got everything I want. I have got my kids, my husband and my animals. I don't care about the rest. Take it.
'I just want Joyce and all the other people who stayed to fight for everything they have to be ok.'
Admitting she doesn't wish to cause offence, she continued: 'I hate that this has been publicised as "celebrity houses" and "most expensive houses" and "tinsel town torches".
'No. That is like 5% of California. The major foundation of California is the workers. They are the real belly of LA and they are the people that have nothing left.
'They have no insurance, nowhere to escape too, rescue shelters are overrun.
'I don't want you thinking "Oh it is LA they are all rich they will all be fine," no, there are thousands of people that are not ok.'
Emma added: 'I don't want everyone to attack me or to word this in the wrong way. I hope I don't offend anyone but I want you to know that I don't like the way it has been represented.
'This is not just about rich and famous celebs. Who gives a f*****g s**t? It is about real people.'
Mark moved to America permanently after selling his sprawling Hampshire home for £6.5million back in August 2021.
The singer had been living in California with wife Emma and their three children for the past few years, but previously retained a base in the UK with the countryside pad.
However, Mark went on to sell the stunning nine-bedroom property for three-times the amount he paid for it back in 2010.

Orlando Bloom's just paid £10,000 to have his blood 'cleaned' - but here are 7 much cheaper ways to reduce the quantity of microplastics in your body
At 48, Orlando Bloom still looks as fresh-faced (and drop-dead gorgeous) as when he started out in Hollywood three decades ago. It's unsurprising, then, that the Lord of the Rings star is no stranger to rejuvenating – and often intrusive – procedures, from purging his body with frog poison to ingesting bentonite clay to cleanse his digestive system. But the actor's latest treatment might be his wildest yet. Bloom headed to London 's Clarify Clinic for a £10,000 procedure where a machine supposedly removed the microplastics from his blood.

Shakira is slammed by Love Island fans for double standards as she randomly kisses Blu after getting annoyed at Harry for flirting with Helena
Love Island fans were left baffled on Wednesday when Shakira Khan and Blu Chegini unexpectedly kissed in the hideaway at the end of the episode. Tuesday's recoupling saw Shakira choose to couple up with Harry Cooksley, despite Blu and Connor Phillips also showing interest in her. Things took a turn between the pair when Harry had a cheeky chat with Helena Ford, whispering 'hideaway' in the air hostess's ear before putting his hand on her leg - antics which left Shakira furious. However just moments later, Shakira was taken to the Hideaway by Blu where she then shared a sneaky kiss with him.

After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.'

Meanwhile, Remell is a Self Improvement Content Creator who boasts a massive 18million likes and half a million followers on TikTok. Remell shared he is looking for 'a bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl' with 'a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes.' When asked where he might be found in the villa in the morning, he replied: 'I might be cooking a nice high protein meal, I might be doing my skincare routine, something to level up.'
