/Sounds like "neh" + "po" + "bay" + "bee" (same as English)/

Same as in English, the child of a famous or powerful person who got their career thanks to their parents's connections rather than their own talent. The term went viral globally and Spanish speakers adopted it as-is, using it to call out actors, singers, influencers, and politicians who were born on third base and act like they hit a triple. Widely used on social media across all of Latin America and Spain.

Example

"Esa actriz es nepo baby, su mamá es productora de Televisa. -> That actress is a nepo baby, her mom is a Televisa producer."

"Medio Hollywood son nepo babies, no nos sorprende. -> Half of Hollywood are nepo babies, we're not surprised."
