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.

Why have you spoken to him/her defiantly - are you jealous or annoyed with what he/she has done?

OP says ‘we’ve defiantly spoken’, so Celebrity Sibling was probably equally as defiant 😉

LivelyGreyShark · 15/08/2026 18:21

Did fame /and fortune change them?

I suspect autocorrect/predictive text changed ‘definitely’ to ‘defiantly’.

Amanda Holden. Could have been Claudia but doubt you are Sophie

Does their fame involve sexual adoration/fandom? If so, are you jealous of that attention? (I think I probably would be, even though I’d like to believe I’d be mature enough not to be)

Yes and I definitely was. Now I’ve got children I couldn’t think of anything worse.

Was your sister a Spice Girl.

I thought VB sister
I vageley remember her trying to geti in on the act in the early days.

crosscross · 15/08/2026 18:23

How did their fame evolve as social media appeared on the scene? Much worse or better able to control image?

Notsure1 · 15/08/2026 18:24

Definitely Katie Price sister 😊

Dozer · 15/08/2026 18:24

Are they rich?

I’d not want to be famous, but especially not if there were no riches!

I interpreted this part of your OP to imply they were famous as a teen ‘When I was younger I used to feel incredibly jealous of them’ , but of course you’ve said there’s an age gap, and adults can feel those things too!

Victoria Beckham is recognised further than just the UK

And also is a singer!

I used to live in Hertford and remember going to her boutique once. Her name’s Louise isn’t it? She was in the shop at the time, Louise not Viki.

Journey1234 · 15/08/2026 18:27

It’s like a game of guess who.

What’s the most expensive thing your sibling has bought you?

ToKittyornottoKitty · 15/08/2026 18:24

Edited

She’s definitely well known outside the UK.

Monty36 · 15/08/2026 18:28

Kelly Brook.

Dependsoncontext · 15/08/2026 18:29

I used to see celebrities fairly regularly where I used to live. It just looked like a right pain in the arse, people watching them/wanting to interact with them whilst they were just doing a bit of shopping or whatever. I think you are the lucky one! One question, when people discover who your sibling is,
what is their reaction?

Boodahh · 15/08/2026 18:29

Is it Jane Macdonald, the cruise singer?

letmebetheone · 15/08/2026 18:29

Yes she used to stlyle heself like VB .

Delphiniumandlupins · 15/08/2026 18:30

Did your sibling 'earn' their celebrity status for skill as an actor, singer, sports person, TV personality or was it due to their relationship with such a person?

LivelyGreyShark · 15/08/2026 18:30

You mentioned that there was lots of normal adult things that your sibling has never experienced, such as what?

Quokkas · 15/08/2026 18:31

So OP can brag but not actually reveal anything of substance, because it’s the summer holidays and she has nothing better to do.

We both do but theirs are older. Their children haven’t had a normal childhood, structure and comfort are very important to me as parent.

I agree , although I see that celebs can treat their children to extravagant things and holidays in exotic places , I still feel they miss out on so much .
