On social media, on the catwalk and even on television, there’s a whole new generation of young stars boasting very familiar surnames.
While Steve Irwin’s daughter, Bindi, and Bert Newton’s son, Matthew, are already household names, Australians may not be aware of the latest wave of celebrity offspring preparing to take over the world of entertainment.
From Billy Brownless’ model daughters to Eddie McGuire’s actor son, Daily Mail Australia takes a look at the up-and-coming youngsters getting ready to steal the spotlight from their famous parents.

Lucy and Ruby Brownless
Former Geelong Cats player Billy, 51, channeled a stint as an AFL star into a lucrative media career.
So it’s no surprise his model daughters, Lucy and Ruby, are just as savvy.
Lucy, 22, boasts 34,000 Instagram followers, and a perfectly polished feed that shows her primping and posing in both bikinis and high-fashion ensembles.

The genetically-blessed blonde is signed with Precision Talent in Melbourne, but says she didn’t get things handed to her purely because she’s a Brownless.
‘I feel I work really hard and try and be nice to everyone. There’s a lot more to it than just having a last name,’ Lucy told The Herald Sun on Friday.
Meanwhile, younger sister, Ruby, is similarly signed to Precision Talent and also boasts 34,000 Instagram followers.

The model attracted the ire of journalist Caroline Overington back in 2016, who critiqued Ruby’s raunchy photos in an article for The Australian, entitled: ‘Ruby Brownless’ underwear photo: whatever next, cervix selfies?’.
Despite the criticism, the sisters’ popularity hasn’t slowed down, with their followers growing by the day.
Jackson Warne

Xander McGuire
Xander McGuire is the son of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host, Eddie, and he first hit headlines three years ago after joining the cast of Neighbours in a guest capacity.
At just 15-years of age, the youngster is still in high school, but he hasn’t ruled out following his high-powered dad into the media world.
Xander’s older brother, Joseph, 18, has also dipped his toe into similar waters, appearing on his dad’s radio show.
A proud Eddie told The Herald Sun on Friday that his sons ‘have an aptitude for media.’

Tia and Jye Emdur
For nearly three decades, Larry Emdur has been known as one of television’s most handsome presenters, so it’s no surprise his two children inherited his photogenic looks.
Son Jye, 22, is a popular DJ and real estate agent, who has also fronted Drumstick ice cream’s most recent summer campaign.
Younger sister Tia, 19, is an aspiring graphic designer but also a natural in front of the camera.
Her sultry Instagram snaps prove that she could easily follow Jye into the world of modelling if she so desires.
