37 Celebrity Godparents You Had No Idea About, From Taylor Swift to Kate Moss

When it comes to choosing godparents, people often pick those closest to them to inspire and provide guidance to their child. So it’s no surprise that most celebrity kids end up with very big stars influencing their upbringing. Steven Spielberg is godfather to a pair of huge stars, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Nicole Richie’s got two superstar godfathers of her own. Michelle Williams’s daughter, Matilda Ledger, calls Jake Gyllenhaal and Busy Philipps her honorary parents, while Courteney Cox looked to BFF Jennifer Aniston to take the role of godmother to her daughter, Coco Arquette. Meanwhile, Jaime King’s son Leo’s godmother is none other than Taylor Swift, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s youngest child, Lilibet, is the goddaughter of Tyler Perry.

While having a famous godparent isn’t exactly the same as being a nepo baby, the two are generally connected, and there’s obviously a ton of overlap between nepo babies and stars who have famous godparents. Ultimately, though, there’s something unique and special about having a godparent.
