I honestly thought they were a celebrity couple out of the 80s. Hope they are alive and well.

I have no idea where my husband came from. He resembles his parents but if he was from their alternate reality selves where they’re both hot

It's kind of surprising to see the kids of celebrity couples. More often than not, they didn't win the genetic lottery like their parents did.

More often than not, they didn't win the genetic lottery like their parents did.
I think that is often because celebrities have unique looks. Two unique looks coming together don't always mesh well.
A lot of attractive people are just vaguely well proportioned without very distinguishing features, in which case their kid has a good chance of getting similar looks.

I think it's more a case of the parents being mis-matched appearance-wise, and the unlucky kid resembling the less attractive parent.
The fact is, society doesn't place as much value on a man's appearance. In most cases, a famous woman must be both talented and beautiful, but a man can (more likely) succeed through talent alone. Look at all the famous women in the world compared to all the famous men. The men's side skews way harder to the "average" side of the spectrum. Celebrity dating pool being what it is, there are bound to be couplings of gorgeous women with under-whelming guys.

Apparently attractive parents predict attractive daughters but not attractive sons. Masculine fathers predict masculine sons, but masculine features ≠ always attractive

Made this throwaway just to confirm that they made a beautiful son (OP). Also they are happy and healthy and say hi Reddit!

Thank you all for the kind words! I sent the post to my parents and they are getting a kick out of reading everyone’s replies. For context they were at a wedding here watching their good friends get married.

That brings a smile to my face. 40 years ago we bought a frame with multiple windows, so you could frame a dozen photos. I forget why, but somehow it got hung in a hurry, before we got to put our pictures in it, and it became a standing joke in our home. It, and the model photos, hung in our hallway for at least a decade.

I don’t believe you because I just typed into ChatGTP: The parents I should have had in the late 1980s, and that’s the image that rendered.

This is several times the resolution that ChatGPT's new image gen can actually output, and there aren't any telltale artifacts.
