I won’t be saying who they are.

I recently spoke to a friend about it who
had lots of questions which lead to an interesting conversation, things I’d never said or thought about before.

When I was younger I used to feel incredibly jealous of them and had a very short and unsuccessful attempt at creating my own fame.

Now I’m older with my own dc and have seen the effects up close I definitely think the negatives out way the positives and it’s not something I would ever want for my children.

It is interesting. Lots of people are finding it interesting in between the nuisance posts by idiot posters.

Bit still no clarity what you found interesting 🤷‍♀️

Herenowatbroad · 16/08/2026 17:12

Interesting is entirely subjective

It's interesting to find out how the OP's life has been affected through having a famous sibling. I thought that was quite obvious. It's literally what the thread is about.

Are you a man by any chance?

@zedtree started an AMA about said sister. Without asking her. And hasn’t told her. And has told us personal things about how unhappy she is and her children’s unstable childhood.

Has the OP actually said whether the sibling is male or female?

Jane379 · 16/08/2026 17:30

This is very interesting, thank you!

I think you said they became famous doing reality TV? If so, was this difficult for your family re media intrusion? I can imagine reality TV would be harder on this front as the person is appearing as themselves in a heightened way, rather than playing an acting role, singing etc

Great thread.

What started them off in their career?
Did they see an advert or know someone who got them into the industry?

Have they ever had a tabloid scandal or headline about them?

Have they done an OK style photo shoot?

Hi, just giving my questions a hopeful bump!
Also, a bit random but do they celebrate Christmas and other occasions in a big way?
have your children ever felt jealous of their cousins?

Danni Minogue Confused

That’s who I thought of too!

LivelyGreyShark · 16/08/2026 17:54

Do you think your sibling could live a normal life now? Or have they made enough money to retire comfortably if their TV work dried up.

That cap I made for you really fits well, keep wearing it. 😂

And another post
avoiding what you found interesting
as I say… an answer in itself

What does AMA mean?

Was wondering same thing, I think it’s “Ask Me Anything”

I think title should have read “My sibling is a celebrity, AMA”

If your sibling is very well known they must have been successful and presumably earned a lot of money. Has that ever caused problems in your relationship with them? Do they help you out financially? Do you ever feel like the poor sibling in comparison? (Asking that as it’s how I feel with my wealthy non-famous sibling!)

Can I ask about social media? Has that and it’s way of “exposing” life brought you any extra trouble than from your sibling’s previous traditional fame?
If your sibling uses social media and follows you, do you have their fans who find you on their follow list and work out that you are their sibling then follow you or try to contact you just because you are related?

Bumping my own questions in case the OP missed them.

Is it Ant or Dec

Obviously not as she said not involved in music or acting and they are superstars in both 😂

have your children ever felt jealous of their cousins?

They were encouraged by someone who gave them a contact and then were quickly noticed by someone else who had some power and who liked them so got them more opportunities.

Yes and Yes.

They have done but not always, we still mostly have normal family celebrations.

They're too young really.

Oh this is gonna be like look through the keyhole where everyone tries to guess the celebrity through little bits of information the OP gives out 😆

I think most people who are a sibling of a celebrity will have jealous feeling at some points and then now you don’t have jealous feelings as you feel the negative parts out weigh the positives. Either feeling is totally normal I would say 🤷‍♀️
Ultimately their life and choices are theirs and yours are yours and you only have control of one of them, so just be happy.

Edited

I don’t think so but they probably wouldn’t want to either. No, they wouldn’t be able to live the lifestyle they want and support their children if they stopped working now.

Does your sibling have any genuine friends that they can completely trust and tell them anything?

Herenowatbroad · 16/08/2026 18:30

You say you speak to them daily
have you spoken to them since starting this thread @zedtree ?
