Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

I’ve been following the exciting twists and turns of Claim to Fame, the reality TV show where contestants try to hide their famous celebrity relatives. And let me tell you, the stories of these contestants have really captured my heart!


As a fan, I absolutely adore the show “Claim to Fame” during the summer months. It’s lighthearted and uncomplicated enough for easy viewing, yet it manages to pique my curiosity with its potential connections to famous figures. The suspense is palpable as we try to guess who among the contestants is related or acquainted with celebrities. This level of engagement makes it more rewarding than other reality shows like “The Masked Singer,” where wildly incorrect guesses from the panel can sometimes make the reveals feel underwhelming. With “Claim to Fame,” when a contestant is revealed to be, say, Tom Hanks’s niece, that moment is electrifying!

On the reality show “Claim to Fame,” the competitors aren’t solely driven by a desire for fame or feeling pressured to stay relevant like in shows such as “RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race” or “We Are Family.” While some might welcome additional social media followers and recognition, most appear genuinely motivated by the $100,000 prize money. For someone with little-to-no fame, this amount is certainly worth pursuing.

I’m intrigued by the backgrounds of these 11 contestants on “Claim to Fame,” all striving for the title and the blessing of hosts Kevin and Franklin Jonas. Let me share my speculations about who might have famous relatives among their ranks:

Who is Adam’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

As I watched the first episode unfold, I was intrigued by Adam’s revelation during the game of two truths and a lie. He mentioned his celebrity relative is an actor who won a Grammy, but later admitted that it was actually a singer from the ’80s and ’90s who sounds remarkably similar to him when he sings. His uncle isn’t Dustin Hoffman, either.

Who is Bianca’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

As someone who has been an avid fan of Claim to Fame and a lover of pop culture trivia, I believe that Bianca’s famous relative is none other than Robin Roberts, the esteemed host of Good Morning America. The fact that Bianca mentioned her aunt being an actress and having won a Peabody Award was a dead giveaway for me.

Who is Danny’s celebrity relative?

As a cinema devotee, I’ve been following the clues about Danny with great interest. Here’s my take on it in the first person:

Who is Dedrick’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

As someone who grew up in the golden age of pop music, I can’t help but be intrigued by this Dedrick character and his enigmatic uncles. Having watched the episode attentively, my gut feeling is that Michael Jackson is indeed the famous uncle in question. The hints dropped throughout the show seemed too obvious to me, with “one of the most famous and iconic people in the world” being a dead giveaway. Add to that Dedrick’s slip-up and the numerous references to aviator glasses and mirrors – classic Michael Jackson imagery.

Who is Gracie Lou’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

As a film enthusiast, I’ve been following the intriguing character of Gracie Lou on this reality show. And let me tell you, she’s quite the enigma! Her three statements are that her well-known relative is her uncle, who’s both a musician and an Emmy award winner. She jokingly wants people to believe she’s a country royalty, but in truth, she’s just playing a game based on her humble moniker. She’s a master of disguise in her cowboy boots.

Who is Hud’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

As a longtime fan of John Mellencamp and someone who grew up in the Midwest during his heyday, I strongly believe that Hud is none other than the singer’s son. The mention of his famous relative being a singer with a Grammy resonates deeply with me, as Mellencamp himself is a legendary singer-songwriter with multiple Grammy awards. Additionally, the description of Hud having a mustache and looking just like his parents matches up perfectly with John Mellencamp’s appearance and that of his ex-wife Elaine Irwin.

Who is Jill’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

As a movie lover and an avid fan of “Claim to Fame,” I can tell you that Jill’s background was intriguing yet shrouded in mystery.

Who is Mackenzie’s celebrity relative?

Who is Miguel’s celebrity relative?

It’s also possible that our perception is misleading.

Who is Naomi’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

What we know about Naomi: 
Naomi is a slippery one, though we do know a little more about her than some other contestants. Her two truths and a lie are that her cousin is a singer, and won the Young Artist Award. Gracie Lou also got a wine-bottle rebus clue about Naomi in the first episode, which revealed characters amounting to “brat pack,” as well as an arrow, a bracket, a tiara, a spiky mace, and four mugs with croissants. Naomi says Gracie Lou’s mention of The Breakfast Club gave her “a mini heart attack” and that her relative and Gracie Lou’s uncle, Jon Cryer, “have more in common than either one of us realized.” There’s also a pink diamond ring on the clue wall that seems to irk Naomi.
Why it’s Molly Ringwald: The Brat Pack hint narrows Naomi’s possibilities pretty greatly, especially if you couple that with our guess that the mace, mugs, and croissants suggest The Breakfast Club. While we’re not 100 percent sure what the tiara and the bracket/arrow mean — Ringwald’s role as the “princess” in the Breakfast Club? Brat Pack queen? — we’re going with Ringwald because Claim to Fame producers said in pre-season interviews that they’d noticed connections between some contestants’ relatives, which they then worked to sort of exploit. Given that Gracie Lou and Naomi are roommates and Gracie Lou’s uncle is Jon Cryer, who co-starred in Pretty in Pink with Ringwald, it seems pretty likely.
Why it might not be Molly Ringwald: It’s possible it could be Anthony Michael Hall, who won a 1985 Young Artist Award for Sixteen Candles alongside his co-star Ringwald, though the tiara would throw us a little there.

Who is Shane’s celebrity relative?

Who Are Claim to Fame’s Celeb Family Members?

Another plausible explanation for Shane’s hints is that his cousin could be any well-known actor who has won an Oscar. Additionally, the person he implies is a “Hollywood icon” might refer to any highly recognized celebrity from the film industry. The experiences of attending Neverland Ranch as a kid and having dinner with Elizabeth Taylor can be associated with various individuals in the entertainment industry. However, the strong evidence pointing towards Marlon Brando as Shane’s grandfather makes this interpretation less likely but not impossible.
