Happy Mother’s Day: Top 10 Favorite Celebrity Moms
CelebrityBabyScoop wishes a Happy Mother's Day to some of our
favorite celebrity moms!
From Sarah Michelle Gellar's frequent Starbucks trips with Charlotte,
Jennifer Garner's park playdates with the Violet and Seraphina, to
Alyson Hannigan's Santa Monica strolls with Satyana, we love seeing
our favorite celebrity moms out and about with their gorgeous kids!
Sarah Michelle Gellar:
We can't get enough of Buffy alum Sarah Michelle Gellar! The 35-yearold actress and husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. are parents to 2-year-old
daughter Charlotte.
“Charlotte is my best friend, and any free time I have, I want to spend
with her," the proud mom gushed. "But while it's easy to forget yourself,
I can't define myself as only Charlotte's mother—one day, she's going
to be an adult, and then where am I?"
And it sounds like SMG definitely deserves our top honor - she's
already taught baby Charlie to love her greens!
“We’ve already taught her to love healthy food," the mom-of-one shared.
"We took her to sushi on Saturday night, and everybody couldn’t
believe what she inhaled. I think it’s important at a young age to enjoy
different tastes. And we make this green juice for her. It’s basically
everything but the kitchen sink. We go to the farmers’ market and buy
everything and just put it in the juicer: kale, Swiss chard, carrots,
celery. You name it. And now we’ve all started drinking it, and we’ve
all been healthier."
Jennifer Garner:
Alias alum Jennifer Garner, 39, and husband Ben Affleck welcomed
their third child, son Samuel Garner, on February 27. The high profile
couple are also parents to daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3.
The hands-on mama recently gushed about her adorable and hilarious
girls.
“You know how once you have kids you never ever pee by yourself
again? At least one of them is always in there with you at all times,"
Jen shared. "So the other day... [Violet] is in there with me and all of
the sudden she went, Oh Mom, we have to have a talk...She said, 'Mom,
your bottom has gotten so big that your panties don't even begin to
cover it.' I said, 'It's called a thong, you wear it when you're a grown
up.' She was like, 'Uh, that is so gross!"
Angelina Jolie:
Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie, 36, and her longtime love, Brad
Pitt, are parents to six kids: Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5,
and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
“There are far too many things to count," Angie said on the joys of
motherhood. "But everything that matters in life has to do with being a
parent."
While she's had a colorful past, the actress said she's honored to be
considered a role model.
“I was such a punk for so long, you can't imagine you'd be anybody's
role model," she said. "I'm very grateful that I've had the opportunity to
do some things that have allowed me to be a role model. I hope I'm [a
role model] for my children, and especially for my daughters."
Alyson Hannigan:
How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan, 37, and husband Alexis
Denisof are expecting their second child this summer. The couple, who
costarred in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, are already parents to 3-yearold daughter Satyana.
“There's so many in a day," Alyson told Celebrity Baby Scoop of
cherished moments with her daughter. "It's hard to choose any of them,
but they're all so special. I love her perspective on life and I love
getting to be a part of her world. She's just such a sweet, sweet person
and I love the things that come out of her mouth. She's just so full of
personality and so lovely. [Motherhood is] just the greatest thing
ever!"
Jessica Alba:
Fantastic Four star Jessica Alba, 30, and husband Cash Warren
welcomed their second daughter, Haven, in August. The couple are
also parents to 3-year-old daughter Honor.
Jessica said motherhood "changed everything" and helped her gain
perspective.
“I felt completely different [after becoming a mom]," Jess said. "I really
came into myself as a person. Before, I was always working for my
identity. And then you take the focus off of yourself. I was probablydefinitely-a bit of a narcissist. When you are young and an actor and
driven, it’s a bizarre state of mind to be in at times. I was so focused on
things that didn’t matter at the end of the day. Now I have what I do for
a living in perspective. Working was everything to me, my entire
identity, and once I got to step away from it, everything changed.”
Ellen Pompeo:
Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, 42, and husband Chris Ivery
welcomed their first child, daughter Stella, in September 2009. The TV
star has opened up about the joys - and challenges - of being a
working mom.
“It is challenging," Ellen said of juggling motherhood and her career.
"You know, I have my days where I feel really guilty that I've been here
every day if I have to work a lot. But the truth is I'm in a very blessed
situation, I am so lucky. First of all, I am so lucky to live in a country
where a girl like me can make this kind of living, achieve her dreams
and reach her goals. And I don't think anywhere else in the world can
girls have the freedom that we do here to have these amazing careers
and be mothers."
Miranda Kerr:
Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr, 28, and husband Orlando Bloom
are parents to son Flynn, 15 months.
“He's the best thing that ever happened to me," the new mom gushed of
her beautiful baby.
The model mom has become an outspoken advocate for breastfeeding
since welcoming her first child.
“I intend to breastfeed for as long as I can," she said. "My breast milk
will give our little Flynn the nutrition he needs for his continued
healthy development and to all mums out there I am sure you will make
the right choice for you and your baby."
Gwen Stefani:
No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani and her rocker hubby Gavin
Rossdale are proud parents to two sons: Kingston, nearly 6, and Zuma,
3.
“Having children is the hardest thing I’ve ever done," Gwen said. "No
one could have prepared me for how awesome it is and how hard. And
having two boys – there’s a lot of energy."
Victoria Beckham:
After having three boys - Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 9, Cruz, 7 - Posh
mama Victoria Beckham, 37, and her soccer star hubby, David
Beckham, welcomed daughter Harper in July.
The singer-turned fashion designer joked that her daughter doesn't fall
too far from the tree.
“We went in to Prada yesterday and she loved it," Posh said. "It was if
she was saying, 'Mummy I'm home!' "
On a more serious note, Victoria has also admitted that juggling four
kids and her booming fashion career is "tough."
“I'm a working mum," she said. "Harper’s not sleeping that great, and
I’ve been taking Skype business calls throughout the night too because
of the collections. I’m up with the baby as all mums are and I wouldn’t
have it any other way. There’s not a team of people doing it for me.
And then people want to say I look crap. Well, I’m a working mum, so
give me a break," she said. "I have a lot on my plate. I’m not going to
lie about it, I’m tired. I’m really tired but I’m also very happy with my
life. I’m basically just like any woman who’s working and has lots of
children – it’s tough.”
Sandra Bullock:
The road to motherhood wasn't easy for Academy Award-winning
actress Sandra Bullock, 47. While she adopted a beautiful boy named
Louis in January 2010, her marriage to bad boy Jesse James ended
only two months later after reports of infidelity surfaced. Although her
life seemed tumultuous, she only had one thing on her mind.
“I wasn't thinking about any of that," Sandra said. "I was just so happy
being a mom. I'm still very happy being a mom. That just shifted and
became my full priority."
The single mom recently gushed that her 2-year-old tot is "probably
the best baby in the world."
