Whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, reality TV is everywhere, and it’s a versatile genre. Think about it: there are singing reality shows, cooking reality shows, game shows, and the ever-growing, ever-loved family-based reality shows.
Ever since the early 2000s, viewers have loved seeing a more vulnerable (and hilarious) glimpse into the lives of some of pop culture’s most iconic families. Just look at the Kardashians: people loved seeing inside their crazy lives so much that they got another show right after Keeping Up With the Kardashians ended.
Now, a new celebrity family just entered the mix, and it’s one that literally no one saw coming. Sylvester Stallone, his wife, and three gorgeous daughters are the newest family to dive into the reality TV world with their new show The Family Stallone. The new Paraomunt+ show is already started quite a few controversies in how Sylvester handles his grown daughters’ dating lives, and we’re only a few episodes in!
But what’s reality TV without some controversy?
From early 2000s staples like The Osbournes to lesser-known gems like Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross’ show Ashlee + Evan, there’s no shortage of family reality TV.
Check out which celebrity families have reality shows of their own below:

‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’
Okay, so this timeline is a bit messy. John and Kate Plus 8 started as a staple show about Kate Gosselin and Jon Gosselin, along with their eight kids.

The pair divorced in 2009, and the show changed to Kate Plus 8, which focused more on Kate’s life as a single mom of eight, with Jon coming in less and less. (He’s actually quite estranged from his kids as of 2023, per Nicki Swift.)
