10 Photos That Show Chilli's Baby Boy Tron Austin Is All Grown Up

To the public, watching celebrity kids grow up before our eyes can be an interesting thing. Sure, everyone is almost certain that Blue Ivy Carter will follow in the pop star steps of her award-winning parents Jay-Z and Beyoncé, but what if she decides to, well, become a botanist or something? All we’re saying is that celeb kids can grow up to be anything they want, and in the case of TLC member Chilli’s son, Tron Austin, we’ll go out on a limb and say he’s coming into his own as a talented musician of two equally gifted parents — what’s good, Dallas Austin!

At 16 years old attending the CrazySexyCool premiere in NYC with mom, auntie T-Boz and her daughter Chase Anela Rolison. This photo actually caused Chilli to file a lawsuit against MediaTakeOut around the time it was taken after the gossip site made disparaging comments about then-teenage Tron’s sexuality.
