Tracee’s brother is an author and her sister is also a singer. Even Diana’s youngest son has released an album with her wife, Ashlee Simpson.
Denzel and John David Washington

Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moenning
Gwyneth and Kate are cousins, and even though they share the similarity of career choice, Kate stated that is where the comparison stops. She said, “I think that people would be able to point out the differences a lot more easily than they’d be able to point out the similarities. I like that people don’t actually make the comparison. And I want no one judging me solely on the fact that I am her cousin.”
King Charles and Ralph Fiennes
The new named King and Volemort from Harry Potter are actually eighth cousins. Both men trace their lineage back to James II of Scotland.
Tom Cruise and William Mapother
Even though actor Tom Cruise was born as Thomas Cruise Mapother, he decided not to keep his last name. However, his cousin WIlliam, did. William will very rarely discuss his relationship with his cousin, stating in a Reddit AMA interview, “I’m not answering any questions about him because I’ve learned that unfortunately, nearly anything I write/say about him gets taken out of context. So it’s easier and safer to say nothing.”
