15 best celebrity mommy moments on Instagram from J. Lo to Madonna

From Kim Kardashian to Chrissy Teigen to Elizabeth Hurley, celebrity moms have been generous in sharing photos of their children of all ages on Instagram.

Celebrity moms, just like everyday moms, love to show how much love and affection they have for their children. Whether it is gushing over their newborn baby or sharing silly photos of them having fun on vacation, the photos are always adorable.

These celeb mothers range from the youngest showing off their infants (we heart you for returning to Instagram to share your baby girl, Kylie Jenner) to older and wiser women posing with their adult daughters (Real Housewives alum Yolanda Hadid’s pride in Gigi makes her glow). We’ve found a musician/dancer/actress (looking at you, Jennifer Lopez) and even a set of twins (yes, it’s J.Lo again!).

Mother’s Day offers such a heart-warming opportunity to share love. Whether you’re remembering your grandmother’s apple pie and kisses as you curl up on your couch with an old-fashioned photo album, serving your mom a cheese omelet and your famous homemade corn muffins, or getting a bed table laden with toast (“Sorry, mom, it’s a little burnt!”) from your children, we hope you cherish this day.

So we invite you to join us in looking at all the different examples that brighten Instagram. And for an inspirational quote to remember, consider one of the loveliest quotes about moms:

“Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.” — George Eliot

1. Jennifer Lopez and twins

Two times the cute quota! Jennifer Lopez’s twins Emme and Max (their dad is J.Lo’s ex Marc Anthony) just turned 10 in February.

Talking with Today, celebrity mom Lopez recently said that she’s forever grateful for her children. Calling herself “blessed,” Lopez revealed that her twins made her life “so much better.” Jennifer admitted that early in her life, she thought that she might not have children.

“I almost thought that it wasn’t going to happen for me, so I’m very aware that I was blessed with that. It could have been something different,” added Lopez.

Looking back at the start of her family when she was 38-years-old, J.Lo said that she has never taken it “for granted” that she was blessed with children. Jennifer also offered the secret to juggling her busy life with kids.

“I take it one day at a time. Me and the kids are like gypsies. We’re traveling all over the place, just getting it done, doing the best we can.”

2. Carrie Underwood and Isaiah

Get ready to “cry pretty” over Carrie Underwood’s sweet little boy, Isaiah Michael Fisher. When Carrie’s husband Mike Fisher took his tiny son to a sporting goods store, Isaiah didn’t hesitate to hug a photo of his mother.

Underwood calls it “the Big Hug,” and we just call it the sweetest mom moment (who’s cutting onions in here?).

3. Kylie Jenner and her “angel baby”

At 20-years-old, Kylie Jenner is young enough to qualify for a celebrity mom moment with her own mother, Kris Jenner. But this photo that Kylie posted of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and lip queen holding her own baby more than met our qualifications for best celebrity mom moments.

Jenner even came up with the perfect caption, “Angel baby,” to complete the precious image.

4. Elizabeth Hurley and Damian

No fears here when it comes to showing that special pride only a mom can know. Elizabeth Hurley, 52, is famous for flaunting her bikini body on Instagram. Sometimes her son, 15-year-old Damian Hurley helps to take photos of his famous mom. In return, she’s always delighted to share how proud she is of her son’s role on their show The Royals.

5. Kim Kardashian and kids

Whether you love or loe to hate this fam, Kim Kardashian has reigned as the Keeping Up With The Kardashians queen. Kim also recently became one of the first celebrity moms to open up the conversation about surrogacy parenthood, sharing her delight in discovering that her feelings for the newest addition to her family (her baby daughter Chicago was born via surrogate) were just as strong as for her son Saint and daughter North West.

"The second [Kim’s baby Chicago] came out, any fear that I had of, ‘Will I not have this connection? Will she not look like me?’ all of that goes out the door, and instantly, she’s ours."

6. Victoria Beckham and her brood

Victoria Beckham is a model, a fashion designer, and a 44-year-old mom who doesn’t hesitate in sharing her love for her flock of fashionable kids. And although Victoria refers to her brood as her “babies” in the caption, they range in age from 19-year-old Brooklyn to 15-year-old Romeo to 13-year-old Cruz. Beckham’s baby, Harper, completes the picturesque family at 6.

7. Chrissy Teigen and Luna

Chrissy Teigen’s and husband John Legend’s daughter Luna Simone is deliciously adorable, and Chrissy has been generous in giving her Instagram followers reasons to say “Awwwww.”

One of our faves: Chrissy boasting about Luna’s “little llama butt” (All together now: “Awwww!”).

8. Yolanda Hadid and Gigi

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid, 54, has the Midas touch when it comes to modeling. Yolanda proudly showed that her 23-year-old daughter Gigi has it too by fittingly dressing in gold for a “Golden Night.”

A fan summed up our feelings perfectly by writing, “Absolute family goals.”

9. Christie Brinkley and Sailor Brinkley-Cook

Supermodel Christie Brinkley looks like the twin of her daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook, who just took her own plunge into the modeling world in Sports Illustrated. At 64, Christie makes it clear that she’s thrilled to pose next to her 19-year-old daughter, celebrating her “baby” girl’s success as a rising supermodel star.

10. Pink and Willow

Can we take a moment to appreciate the world’s cutest celebrity glam squad? We’re talking Pink and her daughter Willow, of course. Pink proudly posted this picture of her makeup session, and it’s very clear that Willow possesses a unique sense of cosmetics cuteness.

11. The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Louis

Royal moms are just like us (well, sort of). Kate Middleton can’t stop smiling with delight at her new son, whose royal name was just announced. Welcome to the world, Louis Arthur Charles, aka His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge!

12. Jessica Alba and her first son

There are so many options for saying farewell to the old year and ringing in the New Year. Rather than sip champagne or dance all night, Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren welcomed in 2018 by greeting their first son, Hayes Alba Warren, who was born on December 31.

Hayes has two big sisters, Haven Garner and Honor Marie, and Jessica proudly showed her baby name necklace to her fans, along with that chubby-cheeked baby boy.

13. Drew Barrymore’s daughters

Eternal flower child at 43, Drew Barrymore makes it clear that her two daughters appreciate the meaning of family. This sister spin celebrated Earth Day but it also shows just how much Drew loves the relationships that she’s developed between her girls, 5-year-old Olive and 4-year-old Frankie.

14. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her son

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is a celebrity mom who knows that getting a child to bath is sometimes like leading a horse to water: You can’t make the kid drink, er, dunk. What to do? Snooki showed her answer with this playtime photo of the 30-year-old Jersey Shores star and her 5-year-old son Lorenzo Dominic Lavalle.

15. Madonna and Lourdes

Madonna is on the cusp of 60 (how did that happen), but she looks almost as youthful as her lovely daughter Lourdes, 21. When Madonna’s daughter turned 21, the famous songstress celebrated her birthday with a sweet flood of Instagram photos. This one says it all.

Whether you’re a new mom-to-be, experiencing pregnancy for the first time as you await the birth of your first child, an experienced mother who knows the joys of a burnt breakfast in bed made by your kids, or a grandmother happy to spoil those grandkids, we hope you have the happiest Mother’s Day ever!
