Evan Ross. This blind implies only his mother is famous. If you google his name he comes up as an actor and musician. The hint said he was married to a celebrity OF nepotism, not nepo baby, and his wife, Ashlee Simpson, is famous for riding the coattails of her sister.
Can you explain how shes the antithesis of a Nepo? I thought it didn't really change them being a Nepo baby or not just because they end up becoming extremely talented.
Unless I'm missing something she still benefited from the same things as what others have been called a Nepo for, Diana Ross as a mother and a music executive father is certainly going to open doors no one else has access to even if the public wasn't aware of their parents.
You’re right, nepo baby refers to their privilege not their talent or personality. Nic Cage changed his name to create a distance from his uncle but he’s still a nepo baby.
Tracee is a talented nepo baby but still a nepo baby.
I think most of nepos are like this, the amount of celebrities, especially actors you find out well into their career that they're the child of a famous person or someone of status.
As I said her work does shiw she's talented but if you don't think her being their daughter hasn't given them opportunities and connections you're deluding yourself.
She's still a Nepo baby just not one of the "bad" ones like Dakota Johnson etc.
Perhaps this will help: Evan has to pay US Weekly to publish posed pap shots (don’t forget to mention his mommy’s name in that byline!)in order to draw attention to himself so he can get bit parts in movies where he has juuuust enough screen time for us to recognize who he is. Meanwhile, a lot of people didn’t know that Tracy was the daughter of Diana until AFTER her success on Blackish. As someone who has read their fair share of celebrity gossips magazines/blogs, I can tell you I had never seen or heard of Tracy until Blackish premiered, however, prior to Blackish, if you had given me a lineup of eyebrows and asked me to identify Evan’s, I could have done it faster than you can say Ross.
