- Commencement of higher education is imminent for these famous offspring.
"Growing Up Rapidly": This thought might also be crossing the minds of some notable parents currently. Several youngsters of famous parents are preparing to leave home and begin their college careers. Some of them have secured spots at top-tier universities.
Willow Affleck
Ben Affleck (52) is currently dealing with a lot, with Jennifer Lopez (55) filing for divorce from him. His daughter Willow (18) is on the brink of starting her college life. The 18-year-old is Ben's daughter from his marriage to actress Jennifer Garner (52).
Willow is reportedly going to begin her studies at the prestigious Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. She was seen on campus over the weekend with her parents and her brother Finn (15). Images, obtained by the British "Daily Mail", show Ben Affleck looking relaxed with his children and his ex-wife by his side. Their youngest son Samuel (12) was apparently not present. What Willow will be studying at the esteemed university is unknown.
Emma Cruise
Emma Cruise (18), daughter of Tom Cruise (62) and Katie Holmes (45), is also embarking on her journey into adulthood. Emma is said to have moved into a dorm at the private university Carnegie Mellon with her mother over the weekend, according to the "Daily Mail". Images show the mother-daughter duo with suitcases on the university grounds in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Her father, with whom Emma is said to have had no contact since his split from Holmes, was not present. The 18-year-old is said to have even changed her name to Emma Noelle. Her mother recently revealed in an interview with "Town & Country" magazine that she is "really proud" of her daughter. "Of course I will miss the closeness, but I am really proud of her and I am happy," Holmes said. Rumors suggest that Emma will be studying fashion.
Lucas Martin
Gwyneth Paltrow (51) also has to bid farewell. Her son Lucas Martin (18), from her failed marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (47), is reportedly studying at Brown University. The 18-year-old is said to be moving from Los Angeles to Providence in the state of Rhode Island for this.
The move is causing her to feel a "deep sense of impending sorrow," Paltrow revealed to the "Sunday Times". Nevertheless, she understands that the children have to take this path to grow. "It's exactly what's supposed to happen," she said. It is unclear what subject Lucas has chosen to study at the prestigious university. Paltrow also has a daughter, Apple (20), with Martin.
Henry Klum
Heidi Klum's (51) eldest son, Henry Klum (18), is also spreading his wings. At the beginning of June, the model mom posted some snaps and clips from his high school graduation on Instagram. "You did it, my wonderful boy. College, here we come," she wrote proudly. However, Klum did not reveal which college her son has enrolled in.
At a dinner after the ceremony, besides her husband Tom Kaulitz (34), her other three children were also present. Lou (14) and Johan (17) are also from her marriage to singer Seal (61). Her daughter Leni Klum (20) is from her relationship with Italian sports manager Flavio Briatore (74).
On Tuesday, Jessica Seinfeld (70), Jerry Seinfeld's wife, celebrated the move-in day of their youngest son Shepherd (18) into his college dorm. She posted a series of photos on Instagram showing the proud parents with their son on campus. According to media reports, he will follow in the footsteps of his siblings Sascha (23) and Julian (21) and attend Duke University in the U.S. state of North Carolina. "Move-in weekend. All three baby birds have flown the nest," Jessica Seinfeld captioned the photos. She did not reveal what course of study Shepherd will pursue.
River Stone's (20) son Laird (19) already has a clear goal in mind: As the actress announced on Instagram at the end of July, he will begin studying medicine. Last week, she posted a photo of her adopted son in front of a building at the University of Utah. "Big day," she wrote alongside the snapshot. In May, she celebrated her child's high school graduation. On an Instagram photo, she beamed with pride next to her son. At the beginning of the same month, she revealed on the social media platform that her eldest adopted son Roan has entered the acting business.
Instagram is a great place to share photos and updates about this significant milestone. Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry Seinfeld, posted about her youngest son Shepherd's move-in day on Instagram, marking his departure for Duke University.
Following their high school graduations, River Stone's son Laird has set his sights on a career in medicine, now preparing to begin his studies at the University of Utah.
