The majority of people feel that celebrity kids should pursue careers in the entertainment business like their parents. However, this may not be the case for every celebrity child because they, too, are human beings like the rest of us, with the ability to pursue a career in whatever sector they want. As a result, being biased just because they are connected to celebrities is not fair. Their decision to pursue a career in an area other than entertainment should be normalized. Today, we’ve given you the inside scoop on one such celebrity child, Kennedy Owen, who selected a very different professional path than her famous father.
