Daphne and Celeste were two names that dominated the pop scene in the late 90s, capturing the hearts of fans all over the world with their infectious tunes. But what have they been up to since then? Let's take a look at where they are now.
It's been over two decades since Daphne, whose real name is Karen DiConcetto, and Celeste Cruz joined forces to form the dynamic duo that took the music world by storm. And while their hit song "Ooh Stick You" remains a classic, Daphne looks almost unrecognizable these days.
At 43 years old, Karen has traded in her pop star image for a more low-key lifestyle. She is now a devoted partner and mother to her four-year-old son Samir, sharing adorable selfies and snippets of her daily life on social media. But that's not all she's been up to.
Karen has also made a career pivot into the world of screenwriting and producing, with her involvement in projects such as the 2016 series "Recovery Road." She has also been a vocal advocate for the 2023 Writers Guild of America strikes, using her platform to raise awareness and support for the cause.
Meanwhile, Celeste has set her sights on acting and has appeared in popular shows like "30 Rock," "Cupid," and "Brooklyn Bound." It's clear that both Daphne and Celeste have found success and fulfillment outside of their pop star days.
But let's not forget the iconic duo's rise to fame. In 1999, they burst onto the music scene with their first hit single "Ooh Stick You," which landed in the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart. They followed it up with "U.G.L.Y" in 2000, which also broke into the top 20, but received some backlash for its perceived promotion of bullying.
Their fame reached new heights when they performed at the Reading Festival in 2000, alongside heavy-hitters like Placebo, Rage Against The Machine, and Slipknot. However, their set was met with a less-than-welcoming response from some disgruntled rock fans who proceeded to throw bottles and other objects at the pop duo.
But Daphne and Celeste didn't let the negativity get them down. In fact, they defiantly continued their set, with Karen later recalling how even bands like Slipknot and Rage Against The Machine praised their courage and determination to stay on stage.
Despite the backlash, Daphne and Celeste continued to make music together until 2002 when they split up. However, they surprised fans with a comeback in 2015 and released their second album, "Daphne & Celeste Save the World," in 2018, which featured singles like "You and I Alone," "BB," and "Alarms."
It's clear that Daphne and Celeste have come a long way since their pop star days, but their journey has been nothing short of memorable. And who knows what they have in store for us in the future? We can't wait to see what these two talented women will do next.
