Nepo Teens: Mom Worked with Scarlett Johansson, Dad’s a Rock Star, and a Godfather Link

Their mother was an actress who appeared as an ingenue in The Godfather, a film their grandfather made come to life.

Mom then started directing movies with Kirsten Dunst, Scarlett Johansson and Emma Watson, to name only a few.

Grandpa has also worked with Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Adam Driver during his six decade career in Hollywood.

Now mom’s two teenaged daughters are stepping into the limelight in a big way as they have become big influencers.

They were seen on Wednesday evening at the 2025 Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit presented by Chanel at Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Mom and dad – a musician – were also there.

One wore all black while the other had on a black-and-white print minidress. Can you guess who these ladies are?

They are Romy Mars, 18, and Cosima Croquet Mars, 15.

Their mother if Sofia Coppola, who directed Lost In Translation, Virgin Suicides and The Bling Rings.

And their grandfather is Francis Ford Coppola, who directed all three The Godfather movies as well as Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the more recent Megalopolis.

Their father is musician Thomas Mars, the lead singer of the indie band Phoenix.

Her famous parents met in the late 1990s while working on the set of Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides. 

These ladies have been sharing her lavish lifestyle on TikTok and Instagram, with posts garnering millions of views.

Romy first gained prominence in 2023 after sharing a now-deleted video, in which she claimed she was grounded for attempting to charter a helicopter to visit a friend using her father’s credit card. 

In the clip she also admitted that her parents’ ‘biggest rule’ was that she was not allowed to have public social media.

‘But TikTok’s not going to make me famous, so it doesn’t really matter,’ she rationalized.

Her mother Sofia, who is known for fiercely protecting her family’s privacy, later told The Hollywood Reporter she was ‘not thrilled’ about the viral moment.

‘She’s funny,’ she said. ‘But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would’ve hoped for.’

Despite her previous claim that she was not permitted to have public social media accounts, she now has a public TikTok page with 395.5K followers, and an Instagram page with over 160K followers. 

She’s also establishing herself through her music career, having recently released a song titled ‘A-listers.’ 

Romy also shows off her outfits, shares room tours, her hangouts with friends, and promotes her music. 

Though much of her content is surprisingly relatable to that of her peers, there are glimpses of affluence — including a recent video of her attending a Chanel ball. 

Sofia also brought along her two teenage daughters to Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show. 

Romy towered over the Priscilla director while Cosima also stood slightly taller than their mother. 

Speaking to Vogue after the Chanel presentation, Romy called it ‘the most beautiful show.’ 

Romy also released a new song in which she laments the emotional emptiness of wealth, fame and red-carpet glamour.

Titled A-Listers, it details the hollowness of growing up in unimaginable privilege – complete with references to private yachts, LA mansions, and fake romances with other rich kids.

And in a truly on-brand move, the music video was directed by none other than her Oscar-winning mother Sofia.

In the new music video, Romy sings: ‘Grant all of my wishes, riches to riches / And one day I’ll be bored with everything that I’ve got / Get out of fancy clothes right after they get the shot.’

And while some have praised her for being ‘self-aware’ or ‘meta,’ others see it as a tone-deaf example of a celebrity offspring using their connections to produce content that ultimately flaunts the very privilege it claims to critique.

One viewer commented on the video: ‘It’s tasteless to call your multitudes of wealth that you didn’t earn “a bore.”‘

While another fumed: ‘This is talentless, insufferable, overproduced, nepo-baby garbage, and no amount of astroturfing will change that.’

Romy sings about her luxurious life that she also feels detached from: ‘Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht / Just to feel something real,’

And the chorus bluntly spells out the mood: ‘Heartless, tasteless, nameless, famous / Never, ever on my waitlist.’

Born in 2006, Romy grew up in New York’s trendy West Village and spent summers in France, where her father was practicing in his band.

At the same time, she became well acquainted with the world of film, having accompanied her mother on set, along with her younger sister, Cosima.

But when it came to promoting those same films on the red carpet, it was a strict no-go zone for the sisters.

In 2017, during an interview with The Guardian, Sofia revealed why, saying: ‘I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. I just want them to have a childhood.’

Romy is part of the sprawling Coppola dynasty, which includes director Gia Coppola and Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage – Sofia’s cousin.

She was scouted for Marc Jacobs Beauty at just 13-years-old, and regularly appears at fashion weeks, film festivals and museum galas where her surname guarantees a front-row seat.
