John L. Nelson And Prince
Famous Father: John Lewis Nelson
Known For: Prince Rogers
Everyone may know Prince, but we bet you didn’t know that he was named after his dad’s stage name. John Nelson performed in a jazz act called “Prince Rogers Trio”, where was both the pianist and the songwriter. You might have even noticed that he was credited as a songwriter for some of Prince’s songs!
Famous Son: Prince
Known For: Purple Rain and I Wanna Be Your Lover
Let’s not forget to thank John L. Nelson for gifting the world with one of the most talented men we have ever seen. According to Prince, his father was strict — he was even kicked out as a young man for having a girl over! Eventually, his parents would get a divorce because of his father’s violent tendencies. It wasn’t a smooth-sailing relationship for the father and son duo. They would go from affection to estrangement and back again until Nelson passed away in 2001.

Lionel Richie And Sofia Richie
Famous Father: Lionel Richie
Known For: His Music
The five-time Grammy Award winner is one of the best-selling musical artists in history. He may have begun his career in the band “Commodores”, but it was only when he went solo that his career truly took off.
Famous Daughter: Sofia Richie
Known For: Modeling for Chanel and Tommy Hilfiger
She might be the daughter of Lionel Richie, but it would be a disservice to only call her that. Sofia is a talented model, after all. She has recently made waves when she began a relationship with Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend. There might be a 16-year age gap between Sofia and her beau, but the world is extremely fascinated by their relationship.
