8 Aussie Teens Who Come From Famous Families

Fame and talent clearly runs in these genes.

8 Aussie Teens Who Come From Famous Families

They've grown up in the shadows of their parents' spotlight, but that hasn't stopped these famous children making a name for themselves.

Being born into fame means you've never known life out of the public eye. And while some choose to shy away from their parents' spotlight, these kids have flown into the wind and thrived in the process. 

From cricket legend dads to screen star mums, here's where seven of your new fave celebrities famously came from.

Jye Edmur has aspirations of his own.

Forget the small screen – Jye Emdur, son of The Morning Show presenter Larry Emdur and his wife Sylvie, has aspirations of his own!

The 25-year-old once worked as a model and a DJ, but has now turned his hand to the property market. For three years, Jye has made a name for himself selling some of Sydney’s most lavish homes. He currently works for Ray White in Double Bay.

Liana Cornell

Acting was always in the genes for Liana Cornell, 30, who is the daughter of not one, but two Aussie TV icons – actress Delvene Delaney, and director and presenter John ‘Strop’ Cornell.

Since graduating from the prestigious acting school NIDA in 2012, Liana has steadily built up her own impressive acting resume, including roles in high-profile Australian TV shows like Wolf Creek, House of Hancock, Schapelle and Love Child. Liana is also well regarded for her theatre work and has even performed at the Sydney Opera House. 

In addition to having TV stars for parents, the Britannia actress is also the goddaughter of Crocodile Dundee star, Paul Hogan.

Karl Stefanovic

While Karl and his second wife, Jasmine, have 9-month-old Harper on their hands, New Idea hears a lack of sleep and dirty nappies has nothing on raising a 15-year-old.

Indeed, Karl’s eldest daughter, Ava – who he shares with ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn – recently raised eyebrows when she posted a photo on Instagram sticking up her middle finger.

“Her mum is a stickler for manners and detests bad behaviour ... this is a shock,” says a pal. “Cass wouldn’t be liking anything posted that could be deemed rude!”

According to the insider, Karl and Jasmine have a more relaxed approach with the teenager.

“In stark contrast, Jasmine tries to be the uber-cool stepmum,” the source maintains, insisting the designer encouraged Ava to go by her middle name, Willow, in keeping with her modelling aspirations.

“Karl has no issue being the fun dad, being on TikTok and even dressing up in her clothes for some fun,” the source explains.

Shane Warne

The cricket legend's kids have made names for themselves.

They grew up as the kids of the ‘King of Spin’ and Yogi Simone Callahan, but Jackson, 21, and Brooke Warne, 23, are fast emerging as standalone stars.

Poker player Jackson appeared on reality show SAS Australia, where he grabbed headlines due to his unassuming personality. Meanwhile, his sister Brooke has been making a name for herself on Melbourne’s social scene.

Brooke and Jackson, who share a 19-year-old sister, Summer, previously admitted to a difficult upbringing. ”There were definitely some things, when I was younger, that I just couldn’t do because our family was in the spotlight,” Jackson confessed.

Brendan Fevola is quickly having to share the spotlight with his daughter Mia.

The sons of former couple, TV star Gary Sweet and Olympian turned presenter Johanna Griggs, are now all grown up! Although they both keep relatively low public profiles, their proud mum often shares updates about her sons on her own social media accounts.

 Younger son Joe, 24, is a father of a boy named Jax, whom doting grandma Joh regularly shares pics of on Instagram. Meanwhile, eldest son Jesse, 25, has followed in the family’s television footsteps and has spent the past few years working as a Channel Seven sports journalist.
