It’s National Sibling Day! And while we know some of the more famous sisters and brothers out there, from Beyoncé and Solange to Brandy and Ray J, not every celebrity has a sibling who wants to be in the spotlight. A number of big names have loved ones who are making their own way outside of the industry. No albums they’re trying to push, no TV or movie roles they’re trying to get. They’re simply happy living an everyday life being the normal sibling of a star. Others work in the industry, but live a low-key lifestyle. If you needed a few examples of these types of relationships, scroll on down for our roundup of famous folks with their not-so-famous family.
