It’s Mother’s Day! Sure, on the surface, it’s just like any other day. But this is a day devoted to the life-givers. The women who make the world go-round. The carriers, the nurturers, the anchors. And while the novel coronavirus pandemic has made things a little different this particular year, people everywhere are lifting up the mothers in their lives in a special way today. Of course, it’s also a day for moms to relish, well, being moms — and that includes celebrities celebrating Mother’s Day.
Since we live in the age of social media, we get to see how Hollywood moms choose to spend their holiday. For some, it was admittedly little different than any other day: all about their babies! Gwen Stefani adorably spent some quality time with her youngest, Apollo, and a few other super-cute younglings on beau Blake Shelton’s ranch. For others, it proved to be a day filled with R&R. And not surprisingly, tons of celebrity moms gave a nod to the women who taught them how to be mothers — their own mamas. Gigi Hadid, who is currently pregnant with her first child, gushed over her role model, mom Yolanda.
So, it’s safe to say that despite spending the time in quarantine, these celebrity moms definitely made the best of Mother’s Day.
