Male rock stars always seem to end up with the most beautiful women, so it makes sense
that a number of these guys have become fathers to some pretty stunning daughters.
Some of these ladies have followed in the footsteps of their famous dads and pursued
music, while others have branched off on different career paths.
Here are a few rockers with gorgeous daughters you may not know about.
Gavin Rossdale
The journey to fatherhood wasn't easy for Bush singer and guitarist Gavin Rossdale.
In fact, he didn't learn Daisy Lowe was his daughter until she was 14—and after he agreed
to do a paternity test.
As the story goes, Daisy is the result of a one-night-stand with friend Pearl Lowe,
who claims Gavin was difficult to pin down for the DNA test.
In 2015, Daisy, who's now a model, told the Guardian the paternity drama gave her mixed
emotions.
"I was so happy the day I found out Gavin was my dad.
I'd always looked up to him.
But it was still a s---show to get over it.
There's no handbook."
Phil Collins
She doesn't make too much of a fuss about it, but acclaimed actress Lily Collins is
the daughter of iconic '80s singer-songwriter and producer Phil Collins.
Lily insists that her famous connections didn't help her career, telling the Daily Mail,
"My dad never made a call on my behalf to anyone–not to a producer, a director or
a casting agent."
Fun fact: Phil'*** song, "You'll Be in My Heart," from the Disney's Tarzan, was written
for Lily, who grew up loving Disney.
"It was written as a lullaby to me when I was younger.
We grew up watching Disney shows and movies together, so that was his way of kind of being
able to do it for his kids."
Rod Stewart
Kimberly Stewart has made plenty of headlines, but few know about Rod Stewart's other daughters,
Ruby and Renee, seen here as kids in 2003.
Ruby began her career as a model in 2005, walking in London Fashion Week for Karen Walker.
After a brief stint in the fashion world, she branched out into music, following in
the footsteps of her father.
Today, she's part of the country-rock band The Sisterhood.
As for Renee, she's now a working model, she's signed to the Chadwick agency as of the making
of this video.
Lionel Richie
The former Commodores singer has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, and won
five Grammys and 16 American Music Awards.
Over time, the family name also grew synonymous with Lionel Richie's daughter, Nicole, who
took reality TV by storm with her pal Paris Hilton in The Simple Life.
In recent years, yet another Richie has stormed the Hollywood scene: Nicole's little sister
Sofia.
She stirred up a buzz when she was spotted with pop star Justin Bieber in Japan in August
2016, just days before her 18th birthday.
At one point, Sofia told Entertainment Tonight she wanted to be a singer.
For now, she's establishing a career as a model.
Billy Joel
The Piano Man's daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, is making her mark on the music industry,
as well.
The daughter of Billy Joel's ex-wife, model Christie Brinkley, Alexa has released a number
of singles over the years and an EP in 2006.
Alexa made headlines in 2009 when, after a bad breakup, she called 911 and reportedly
told the operator she took some pills, and wanted to end her life.
She was rushed to the hospital, but fortunately, the pills ended up being homeopathic, so they
were essentially impossible to overdose on.
"I wasn't trying to hurt myself.
I wasn't trying to off myself.
I was panicked.
I was not thinking clearly at all."
In recent years, Alexa has made headlines more in tune with her mom's profession than
her dad's.
She appeared in the star-making Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 2017.
Keith Richards
With his famously hedonistic lifestyle, you might be surprised that Rolling Stones guitarist
Keith Richards has been awfully strict with his two youngest daughters, models Theodora
and Alexandra Richards.
Theodora told the Sunday Times that the famous rocker didn't allow singing at the dinner
table, and the girls couldn't wear lipstick until they were 16, saying,
"When it came to boyfriends, he was usually great, but there were ones who were too scared
to talk to him or just too eager.
When I was 16, I'll never forget the time he said to one of them, 'Cut it out, or I'll
cut it off.'"
Bono
Born Paul David Hewson , U2's Bono is not only a rocker but a world-class philanthropist,
and his two daughters, Jordan and Eve Hewson, have begun forging their own paths.
According to Fortune, Jordan is a businesswoman and an entrepreneur in the tech field.
And Eve is making her mark in Hollywood, with roles in the TV series The Knick and in films
such as Bridge of Spies and Paper Year.
Gene Simmons
Sophie Simmons, daughter of KISS singer Gene Simmons, has been working to generate buzz
in the world of modeling and music.
When a 24-year-old Sophie stripped down to her bra and underwear for a lingerie ad campaign
in 2016, the Daily Mail reports her curves caused such a controversy about potential
Photoshopping that she addressed the issue in a since-deleted Instagram post, saying,
"Once you thought I was too fat, then too thin, now you think I'm fake…
I worked really hard for this body and I love it, that's all that matters."
In 2012, Sophie tried out for X Factor but was cut after auditions.
But she was persistent, and it paid off in 2015, when Sophie released a cover of Sixpence
None The Richer's "Kiss Me" on the record label that signed KISS decades ago.
Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones frontman has eight kids with five different women, including daughter
Georgia May Jagger, whose mother is model and actress Jerry Hall.
Georgia is making a name for herself through modeling gigs with Hudson Jeans and Tommy
Hilfiger.
In 2010, she described Mick Jagger's parenting style to Harper's Bazaar.
"He always wanted me to do my best.
I'm quite dyslexic in school.
My dad let me figure out what I wanted to do on my own.
My parents never really lecture me."
As for her head-turning style, she says she sometimes raids her parents' closets, but,
only for the, quote, "'60s and '70s stuff."
"My most treasured items are probably some of my mom's clothes from Studio 54.
I've got a pair of sort of mirrored hot pants that she used to wear when she was my age,
and yeah, they're probably my favorite."
