Family Ties: 7 of the Most Surprising Celebrity Godparents You Didn’t Know About

Cree Summer
“A Different World” co-stars Lisa Bonet and Cree Summer have always been close; so much so that Bonet named Summer as godmother to her and musician Lenny Kravitz’s daughter, Zoë Kravitz. Summer and Zoë share a close bond as well, as the “Divergent” series actress describes her godmother as “a strong woman who wrote intelligent, fun music. I’ve always been really inspired by her.”

Michael Jackson
Who wouldn’t want the King of Pop as their godfather? Former reality TV star Nicole Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, is one of the lucky ones. Jackson isn’t the only music icon in the family, however. Legendary music producer Quincy Jones is Nicole’s godfather, too!

Meanwhile, Jackson was also dubbed godfather to Michael Gibb, son of former “Bee Gee” Barry Gibb.
