About This Quiz

When it comes to celebrities, most of us believe that all their relatives are everyday, regular Joes (and Jills) like us. But that isn't always the case. In fact, many celebrities have famous family members. Look and Angelina Jolie and Dakota Johnson, whose parents were huge stars. Other celebs have politicians, singers, and producers for relatives. But do you know their exact link to each other? 

And we didn't add in any husband-wife relationships, because we know how seriously most of the stars take it. So, we've got aunts, uncles, cousins, stepbrothers, siblings, nieces, nephews and almost every kind of relation under the sun. It will be your job to look at the two stars and guess what relationship ties the two of them. You can use what you already know about them as clues, look at their last names and even their age differences if that helps. We really just want to know if you have what it takes to correctly guess what each of these celebrities is to the other. If you think you can do this, it's time to get started on this celebrity relatives quiz.
