Celebrity kids: Then and now!

Suri Cruise then...

Aww, look how little Suri was! And look how happy they all were....

This photo was taken in Rome, November 16, 2006 — just two days before Tom and Katie got married.... Remember that? Crazy how time has gone by... and things have changed.

Suri Cruise now...

And look at Suri now! SO pretty and, from what we can tell, brimming with joy and personality at 6.5 years old.

She's photo'd here with her now-single mom, Katie Holmes, enjoying some park time last month in New York City.

Celebrity kids: Then and now!

Zahara Jolie-Pitt then...

Sweet little bundle!

Check out baby Zahara, July 20, 2005. Mom, Angelina Jolie, was taking her shopping, bottle-feeding her as they walked along the streets of Los Angeles.

Angelina had just adopted Zahara from Ethiopia on July 6, 2005, when Zahara was six months old (Brad Pitt adopted her and Angelina's oldest son, Maddox, later that year). So this is a really special photo of the early days of the adoption.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt now...

7.5 yrs old! Zahara's a big girl now, and look how lovely.

She's photo'd here on a stroll with her family earlier this year, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Maddox Jolie-Pitt then...

Another Jolie-Pitt kid. How can we resist?

Here's baby MADDOX all those years ago (October 2003) at just over a year old, strolling with mom, Angelina Jolie.

It's cool to see him as baby, and to think back to that time: His was one of the first famous international adoptions. Angelina was a brand new mom with just one kid.... Of course, now she has SIX. This was a relatively simple and, I imagine, quiet time for the actress!

Maddox Jolie-Pitt now...

At 11 years old, Maddox is so grown up he's got his own iPhone. And it looks like he's inherited his mother's poise, his father's intensity.... Striking little man!

He's photo'd here gabbing away on his iPhone while on a walk with his sisters Shiloh and Zahara in New Orleans, Louisiana, earlier this year.

Shiloh Jolie Pitt then...

This is the final Jolie-Pitt kid in the gallery — promise! They are all just so gorgeous (like their parents. Hellooo, Brad!).

Yes, say hello to Brad Pitt back in 2007 with one-year-old baby SHILOH! They're photo'd here in front of a house they were renting in Prague.

Pretty picture, huh?

Shiloh Jolie Pitt now...

Gosh, such an amazing mix of her stunning parents. Look at Shiloh now, at 6 years old!

She's photo'd here on that same New Orleans walk with siblings Maddox and Zahara, a bodyguard and the family's awesome bulldog....

Kingston Rossdale then...

MOHAWK! At just around seven months old, Kingston Rossdale had his first mohawk — a precursor to the "scandalous" blue mohawk he sported last year.

Oy, he's a cutie. Here he is out shopping with mom, Gwen Stefani, in Beverly Hills, California, December 2006.

Kingston Rossdale now...

And look at him now! (Are you having as much fun with this as I am?) Rock star Kingston is now six years old. He's spotted here with dad, Gavin Rossdale, just last weekend, on their way to Petco for pet supplies, in Studio, California.

People are saying Kingston's wearing a Halloween costume in this picture, but it's a little early for that, no? Indeed, it's just like Kingston to keep us guessing when it comes to fashion (check this out!).

Violet Affleck then...

Aww, it's baby Violet! And Jennifer Garner coming into her own as a brand new mom (motherhood has always seemed to agree with the actress, huh?).

They're photo'd here celebrating Violet's first birthday (December 1, 2006) at Amici Restaurant in Brentwood, California. Fancy!

Violet Affleck now...

And here's Violet now. Looks like she inherited her parents' height genes. She's tall for 6.5 years old! And so adorable. We love her!

Violet's photo'd here on her way home from the farmer's market with Mom last month, in Pacific Palisades, California. I'm guessing they were spending some much-needed one-on-one time together, since Violet's got two younger siblings at home — Seraphina, 3.5, and 8-month-old baby Samuel

Harlow Madden then...

Oy! Too cute.

There's little Harlow Madden at a park in Los Angeles, California, at just over a year old — with mom Nicole Richie, of course, who was actually pregnant at the time with Harlow's brother, Sparrow.

Harlow Madden now...

Pretty in pink!

Such a big girl now, at 4.5 years old. Here's Harlow at a birthday party with Tobey Maguire's kids last summer, in Beverly Hills, California. Beautiful dress, huh?

Deacon Phillippe then...

Awww, check out little Deacon Phillippe going to the dog park with mom, Reese Witherspoon, when he was just over a year old.

(Love that dog!)

Deacon Phillippe now...

...And look at Deacon now! The spitting image of his mom, and still so darn adorable at almost 9 years old.

Here he is on his way home after his soccer game last summer. Reese and her husband, Jim Toth, were there to support him, along with his sister, Ava, 13, and dad, Ryan Phillippe.

No longer the baby of the family, Deacon's got a new half brother (in case you haven't heard...), Tennessee James Toth.

Celebrity kids: Then and now!

Apple Martin then...

Here's Apple Martin at just over a year old going out for lunch in Santa Monica, California, with mom Gwyneth Paltrow and her Chanel handbag....

Apple Martin now...

And here's Apple at seven years old on vacation in Porto Cervo last year with her mom, her little brother, Moses (now 6), and Steven Spielberg (Gwyneth's godfather).

Apple is now eight years old. This is the most recent photo I have of her. Pretty!

Lou Samuel then...

Aww, little Lou!

The youngest of Seal and Heidi Klum's four children, Lou was just four months when this photo was taken. And, sighhh, her parents were, as far as we knew, happily married.

In case you're wondering, that gravely hooded dude is her dad, Seal.

Lou Samuel now...

And look at Lou now, at three years old — picking out pumpkins at Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch, of course. So 'dorable. Love!
