Amanda Holden addresses criticism that her daughter Lexi Holden, 20, is a “nepo-baby” after Lexi pursues a modelling career. Multiple reports say Lexi signs with the Storm modelling agency and has appeared on the catwalk, including at London Fashion Week. Holden is quoted in several outlets as pushing back against negative characterisations of family connections in entertainment, arguing that parents would want to help their children get a “foot in the door.”
The coverage notes that using the term “nepo baby” is a relatively recent development and is often used to imply undue advantage, despite the fact that family ties in showbusiness have long existed. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis, they converge on the same core points: Holden publicly responds to online or public criticism, Lexi is linked to professional modelling through Storm, and her fashion appearances include London Fashion Week. The reports do not present any new evidence beyond these career developments and the accompanying comments from Holden.
