10 Stupidly Adorable Photos of Musicians and Their Kids

by Anne T. Donahue

We tend to be cynical, so after this past weekend brought us another Beckham baby (named Harper Steven, no less…) and the next generation of Muse’s Matt Bellamy (and Kate Hudson), we figured it was time to swallow our sarcasm and throw them all a proverbial baby shower. Thus, because we’re cheap (and get far too freaked out by Babies ‘R Us), here are 10 photos of musicians and their kids just to remind everyone (but especially Posh and Becks and Kate and Matt) that there’s a high bar when it comes to photographing well with babies.

10. James Hetfield (Metallica)

Your move, Von Trapp family.

9. Dave Grohl

Your mornings of Romper Room and Sodalicious now mean nothing.

8. Madonna

Lourdes. Better than us.

7. Matt Berninger (The National)

This is what a cherub looks like.

6. Johnny Cash and June Carter

We feel you, John Jr.

5. Eminem

Because shopping with children makes us feel the same way.

4. Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain

Frances Bean understands.

3. Paul and Linda McCartney

And a partridge in a pear tree.

2. Notorious B.I.G.

Commence sobs.

1. John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Tear up your baby books, this one trumps them all.
