Celebrity Celebrity Family Celebrity Kids Celebrities Who Are Middle Children If these celebs have middle child syndrome, they aren't showing it By Jacorey Moon Jacorey Moon Summer Associate, PEOPLE People Editorial Guidelines and Nate Jones Updated on August 11, 2023 03:22PM EDT Photo: Getty (3) It's your day, middle children! That's right, Aug. 12 marks Middle Child Day, a time to celebrate kids (and grown-up kids) who often feel they've been overlooked — a part of what some call "middle child syndrome." However, in these famous families, it seems the middle children found a way to break the mold and shine. Here, 10 celebrities who have older and younger sibs. 01 of 10 Bella Hadid Bella Hadid. Mike Marsland/WireImage Interestingly, birth order hasn't affected the Hadid kids much in the public sphere: all three, including older sis Gigi, middle child Bella and younger brother Anwar, are models like their mom. 02 of 10 Sarah Jessica Parker Michael Loccisano/Getty Sandwiched between brothers Timothy and Pippin, Parker decided to take a turn for all things girly with her eponymous shoe line and Sex and the City role. 03 of 10 Chris Hemsworth Dave Benett/WireImage If we were diagnosing the characters from the Marvel Universe, Loki is clearly the one with middle child syndrome. In real life, Thor actor Chris Hemsworth embodies many of the best qualities of middle children with his loyal and loving nature — at least, that's what his wife Elsa Pataky says. 04 of 10 Peyton Manning Getty In their book The Secret Power of Middle Children, Catherine Salmon and Katrin Schumann write, "Middles aren't the most detail-oriented people." Don't tell that to Manning, second son of Archie and Olivia Manning, who became one of the best quarterbacks in history largely because of his superhuman attention to detail. 05 of 10 Jennifer Lopez Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic Lopez has taken big sis Leslie and younger sister Lynda red carpet events (perks!) and posted about them on National Sisters Day. 06 of 10 Pippa Middleton Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Anecdotally, middle children are sometimes known to emphasize their individuality with attention-grabbing fashion choices, particularly at times when they're feeling overshadowed by a sibling. We wonder how Pippa feels. 07 of 10 Anne Hathaway Steve Granitz/WireImage Born between her brothers, Michael and Thomas, Anne would be the one to grow up in the limelight. 08 of 10 Katy Perry Daniele Venturelli/Getty Perry (née Hudson) has used the skills she gained being born between sister Angela and brother David in real life: "I think being a middle child of an older sister and younger brother has prepared me the most for judging with @lukebryanonline #AmericanIdol," she joked in a 2019 tweet. 09 of 10 Britney Spears Britney Spears. getty Unlike many middle children, Spears has been in the spotlight ever since she was a child. Still, her classic single "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" could be a metaphor for the insecurities that plague many middles today. 10 of 10 Bill Gates Steve Granitz/WireImage Hiddleston has spoken frequently about the strength of women, per E!, something he's likely seen firsthand from his older and younger sisters.
