It is unlikely that the very rare combination of genes that made them very attractive will happen again, even though the many of the same genes are there. So their children will be closer to average though, in most cases, still above average. You can see that children of Hollywood couples are rarely ugly but rarely as gorgeous as their parents.

I had a classmate who was the cutest young schoolkid you'd ever seen -- big head, huge eyes, small features. He ended up looking kind of like a stocky Elijah Wood with dishwater colored hair. A decent portion of adult beauty is body shape, hair, clear skin, facial bone structure, and you either can't tell this with a baby or can't make any meaningful distinctions because most babies have smooth skin, button noses, and not much hair.

I know a guy who looks like Tom Cruise. His baby has his Tom Cruise nose. That nose on a baby is a BEAK, I tell you and he was the ugliest baby I've ever seen. He now at 12, is getting hot like daddy.

I like your theory.
