When I began writing “The Rock Star’s Daughter,” I wanted to tell a story about complicated family structures and a girl’s struggle to make peace with an estranged father. The celebrity element was an afterthought, although the fame and wealth of my main character Taylor’s father in the story shapes the plot a great deal. Throughout the story, Taylor discovers that all of the perks that she thought would come as part of being the daughter of a famous rock star go hand-in-hand with drawbacks, too. Here’s a peek at some real rock stars’ daughters, who have had many moments of their private lives (good and bad), marriages, divorces, struggles with weight loss and addiction and confusion about their own parental lineage published in gossip magazines.

Zoe Kravitz: Zoe, the daughter of rock star Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, has starred in movies like X-Men: First Class and The Brave One. She was the model for Vera Wang’s fragrance, Princess, and she is reportedly the current girlfriend of Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley. Lucky girl!

Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom & Little Pixie Geldof: If you’ve ever seen the movie version of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, then you know who Bob Geldof is. In addition to starring as Pink in the movie, this Irish rock star was the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats and wrote the Live-Aid Christmas classic, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” His daughters Fifi, Peaches and Pixie have all led tumultuous lives in the public eye. They lived with their mother, Paula Yates, after her split with Geldof, during which time Yates’ boyfriend Michael Hutchence (the lead singer of INXS) committed suicide in 1997. Bob Geldof sued for custody of his daughters and won, and the girls were living with him at the time of their mother’s very sad death in 2000 of a heroin overdose. They have a half-sister named Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence, who has also been formally adopted by Bob Geldof.  

Peaches (whose Brooklyn apartment was one of my favorites ever to be featured by The Selby) and her boyfriend Thomas Cohen recently announced that they are expecting their first child.
