Hollywood royalty nepo baby goes viral by flaunting glamorous lifestyle and A-list company
Romy Mars, the 18-year-old daughter of director Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, has been sharing her lavish lifestyle on TikTok and Instagram, with her posts garnering millions of views.
Her famous parents met in the late 1990s while working on the set of Coppola's The Virgin Suicides.
Her mom, 54 — who is the daughter Godfather filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola — is known for directing acclaimed movies like Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, while her dad, 48, is the lead singer of the indie band Phoenix.
Romy, who also has a younger sister named Cosima, 15, is quickly making a name for herself, with her fans even hailing her as 'a star.'
Given her parents' prominence, Romy often finds herself among A-listers, as seen in one of her viral clips from a private jet featuring Adam Driver, 41.
The Oscar-nominated actor was promoting her grandfather's film Megalopolis in 2024, and Romy joined them at the premiere in Cannes.
'She stays flexing and I can't even blame her,' one fan commented on the clip, which saw Adam passing a bottle of what looked to be wine to another passenger.
Romy also recently shared a post from a Chanel event which she attended with her famous mom, including a snap of countless bags from the designer.
Just earlier this week, Romy shared a video of herself watching her dad performing on stage, with fans calling it 'iconic'.
'Having thomas mars as your dad, ICONIC,' one fan wrote.
'Having him and Sofia Coppola as parents it's unreal,' another added.
In May, Romy shared a snap with singer Lana Del Rey, which has garnered nearly 50,000 likes.
For her 16th birthday, none other than Jacob Elordi presented her with her cake.
The Australian actor was the star of her mother's film 'Priscilla.'
A picture of the pair also surfaced on socials, with Jacob slinging his arm around his boss's daughter.
Romy first gained prominence in 2023 after sharing a now-deleted video, in which she claimed she was grounded for attempting to charter a helicopter to visit a friend using her father's credit card.
In the clip she also admitted that her parents' 'biggest rule' was that she was not allowed to have public social media.
'But TikTok's not going to make me famous, so it doesn't really matter,' she rationalized.
Her mother Sofia, who is known for fiercely protecting her family's privacy, later told The Hollywood Reporter she was 'not thrilled' about the viral moment.
'She's funny,' she said. 'But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would've hoped for.'
Despite her previous claim that she was not permitted to have public social media accounts, she now has a public TikTok page with 395.5K followers, and an Instagram page with over 160K followers.
She's also establishing herself through her music career, having recently released a song titled 'A-listers.'
Romy also shows off her outfits, shares room tours, her hangouts with friends, and promotes her music.
Though much of her content is surprisingly relatable to that of her peers, there are glimpses of affluence — including a recent video of her attending a Chanel ball.
On Tuesday, Sofia also brought along her two teenage daughters to Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show.
Romy towered over the Priscilla director while Cosima also stood slightly taller than their 54-year-old mother.
Speaking to Vogue after the Chanel presentation, Romy called it 'the most beautiful show.'
Last month, Romy released a new song in which she laments the emotional emptiness of wealth, fame and red-carpet glamour.
Titled A-Listers, it details the hollowness of growing up in unimaginable privilege - complete with references to private yachts, LA mansions, and fake romances with other rich kids.
And in a truly on-brand move, the music video was directed by none other than her Oscar-winning mother Sofia.
In the new music video, Romy sings: 'Grant all of my wishes, riches to riches / And one day I'll be bored with everything that I've got / Get out of fancy clothes right after they get the shot.'
And while some have praised her for being 'self-aware' or 'meta,' others see it as a tone-deaf example of a celebrity offspring using their connections to produce content that ultimately flaunts the very privilege it claims to critique.
One viewer commented on the video: 'It's tasteless to call your multitudes of wealth that you didn't earn "a bore."'
While another fumed: 'This is talentless, insufferable, overproduced, nepo-baby garbage, and no amount of astroturfing will change that.'
Romy sings about her luxurious life that she also feels detached from: 'Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht / Just to feel something real,'
And the chorus bluntly spells out the mood: 'Heartless, tasteless, nameless, famous / Never, ever on my waitlist.'
Born in 2006, Romy grew up in New York's trendy West Village and spent summers in France, where her father was practising in his band.
At the same time, she became well acquainted with the world of film, having accompanied her mother on set, along with her younger sister, Cosima.
But when it came to promoting those same films on the red carpet, it was a strict no-go zone for the sisters.
In 2017, during an interview with The Guardian, Sofia revealed why, saying: 'I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. I just want them to have a childhood.'
Romy is part of the sprawling Coppola dynasty, which includes director Gia Coppola and Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage - Sofia's cousin.
She was scouted for Marc Jacobs Beauty at just 13-years-old, and regularly appears at fashion weeks, film festivals and museum galas where her surname guarantees a front-row seat.

Whoopi Goldberg returns to The View to COMPLAIN about multimillion-dollar gig after being blasted for Iran comments
Whoopi Goldberg whined that her multimillion-dollar job co-hosting The View can 'feel like hell,' after returning from a two-week break following backlash over her controversial comments on Iran. The 69-year-old delivered the self-pitying remark at the start of Tuesday's episode, as she and her fellow hosts were met with an especially raucous round of applause. 'Let us say this to you: Thank you for that, because sometimes this gig can feel like hell,' she said, moved by the display. 'And sometimes you feel like people are just angry at you all the time. So, to get a welcome like this this morning, we really appreciate it.' Goldberg had returned to The View on Monday for the first time in two weeks, following a trip overseas and the show's annual weeklong summer hiatus. Before she left, she faced blowback for insisting to her fellow panelists that living in the United States as a black person is just as bad as living in Iran. She appeared to shrug off the controversy by attending a ceremony in Sicily, where she discussed the 'challenges' of being a celebrity. While her salary has not been disclosed publicly, an insider told The US Sun in 2022 that she earned a cool $8million as The View's highest paid host. Goldberg, who has appeared on the show since 2007, is worth an estimated $60million. Her frequent off-the-cuff remarks have gotten her into hot water over the years, including her June 18 comments that human rights violations in Iran were on par with the treatment of marginalized groups in the US. The response on social media was swift ruthless, with comics Bill Maher and Adam Carolla also weighing in to pan the star. After appearing to reference the criticism on Tuesday, viewers again tore into the star. 'Out of touch celebrity says $8 million a year to co-host the View can be hell,' one commenter wrote on X. 'Then donate [your salary] buffoon,' another added. 'Of course it sometimes feels "like hell" for Whoopi. She thinks she's immune from feedback to the garbage takes she and her co-hosts bring to The View?' a third asked. 'What arrogance.' In 2019, Goldberg told The New York Times that she viewed her hosting gig just 'a job.' 'These are not conversations that I'm having with my friends,' she said. 'If they were, we'd be doing it differently. My friends and I can talk about things in-depth in a different way than you can on television.' In November, she claimed she was still on The View after so many years because she needed the money, before comparing the situation to those of millions of other working Americans. 'I appreciate that people are having a hard time,' she said. 'Me, too. I work for a living. If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So, I'm a working person, you know?'

I was dreading my baby's first flight but a 45p buy kept her occupied for 3 HOURS & made zero mess, it's genius
A FIRST-TIME mum dreading flying with her baby daughter has shared how she got through it without any tears Lala, from Germany, took to social media to share her genius parenting hack just in time for any summer holidays you have planned. 2 And the best part is that the travel hack costs just 45p. In the clip, Lala and her partner could be seen boarding the plane with their baby asleep in her mum's arms. She said: "This was her very first flight and we timed it perfectly with her nap. She slept right through takeoff but eventually she woke up." So how did the parents keep her entertained for the three hour flight? Lettuce. Lala said they often give their tot lettuce when they're trying to eat in peace, so decided to try it on the plane. "It always keeps her occupied for so long. And I thought, if it works at home, why would it not work on a plane?" she explained. Like most kids, her daughter was obsessed with tearing things up and trying to put them in her mouth. "Like bread, paper, tissue, anything. But bread is way too messy, like there are crumbs everywhere," she explained. And with paper or tissue, we always have to keep an eye on her that she doesn't eat it. But lettuce? "Lettuce is genius. It has a really fun texture and it's not messy at all. And it's safe if she decides to munch on it. Not just safe, but it's actually a really refreshing and healthy snack for her." "This kept her occupied almost the entire flight." 2 I tested the viral £17.99 Amazon underseat cabin bag to see how many outfits I could fit in While Lala's easy travel hack was worth giving a go, it's worth noting that some airlines may not let you bring it on, depending on what country you are flying to. Others may not let you bring it into the country when you land so you'll have to chuck it away. But that won't matter too much as the hack costs just 45p as two heads of lettuce cost 90p from Waitrose. The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @ lalaleluu with over 1.7 million views and 267k likes. Plenty of parents took to the comments thanking her for the advice. One person wrote: "Wow this is genius. About to take my baby on her first flight alone and I might try this." How to make travelling with kids a breeze IT can be stressful travelling with kids, but there are a few things you can do to make it easier. Here's five we'd recommend: Snacks It might sound simple, but it's a good idea to pack a LOT of snacks. Think of how much you might need, and double it. After all, it doesn't matter if you have too much - your kids can eat it another time - but it will be a big issue if you run out. There are also snack boxes with lots of little dividers that are great for long journeys as kids can pick at those throughout. Entertainment This covers a whole range of things - from a tablet to watch films or play games if you've got older kids, to books and colouring. It's advisable to pack a variety of options, especially if you're on a long journey or have various legs on your haul. Toys If you've got a baby or a toddler, there are some sensory-type toys you can buy that can really help keep little ones entertained. These include ones that you stick on the windows of a plane, or on a tray on a highchair, that they can spin and play with to their hearts' content. Equipment There are a whole host of things on the market that aim to make sleeping on a plane loads easier. These include a hammock that you can attack to your tray which hangs down to put your feet on. You can also get blow up cushions to turn a seat into a bed for littles, and neck cushions that boast you will be able to use for a decent night's sleep wherever you are. Yourselves! Don't underestimate how entertaining you are to your kids. Learn some games you can play with them, and songs you can sing, as kids always love the opportunity to have one-on-one time with their parents. Another commented: "I have a 14 hour flight with my baby next month. I'll just bring a whole field." "You, Lala, have just unlocked a whole new toy for all of us mums out there thank you," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is some next level parenting!! Bravo!!"

Naomi Watts' daughter Kai Schreiber, 16, towers over her in Paris... after model came out as transgender
Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber hit one of the top fashion shows in Paris on Wednesday. The 56-year-old Hollywood actress and her 16-year-old child were at the Balenciaga show, which Kim Kardashian was a part of. As the two stood side by side outside the venue, it became evident that Kai (5ft10in) is much taller than her Australian mother (5ft5in). Kai also showed off her slender legs in a white and black polka dot minidress while she wore her blonde hair down and added dark sunglasses. Mom was chic in an all black outfit that consisted of a collared jacket with a ruffled skirt and knee-high boots as she too wore black sunglasses with her hair down. Kai, who is transgender, recently spoke in-depth about how she had struggled 'with gender identity from a young age' and 'always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn ' Monroe. She told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past. The daughter of the Liev Schreiber, 57, and the Oscar nominee, named figures she found inspirational 'as a young trans girl' navigating life through turbulent times for the community. 'I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,' Kai told the magazine. 'People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,' Kai said. 'It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover.' The nepo baby said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino. 'That job made me realize, 'OK, this is what I want to do,' Kai said. ' I want to be a supermodel. Period.' Kai opened up to the publication about what she's been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk. 'I've been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,' Kai said. Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication - joking she's 'basic, but in a chic way.' Kai said of her couture choices: ' I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That's my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style. 'If you're presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn't be a thing.' Kai said that 'the world [is] more fun' with fashion in the mix. She took to Instagram to thank those involved with the feature as she said: 'I can't put into words how excited & grateful I am for this project. Thank you to the Interview team for the opportunity, and thank you Dara & everyone for making it such a fun and comfortable experience for me on set.' Naomi said on her Instagram that Kai was 'continuing to kill it' and that she was 'proud' of her. Kai has received public support from both of her famed folks, as Liev told Variety last month about what he felt was the most impactful moment as the parent of a trans child. 'Kai was always who Kai is,' The Manchurian Candidate actor said. 'But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. 'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.'
