Cameron Diaz & Benji Madden

"Best Wishes for All the Mother's, we're all lucky to have you. It's special day for us this year, Forever grateful to my wife for making me a Father, and taking such good care of us everyday. Best Mom and Wife and Friend," Benji Madden penned an empowering letter to Cameron Diaz on her first Mother's Day. "Wether waking up extra early to take care of everyone (3 humans and a dozen animals) or doing all the research and reading to make sure we try our best to be good parents for our daughter, she's a force of nature and I'm very grateful. 6 years together just get more meaningful and true love each day. What a blessing. For me, I think wise to remind ourselves everyday, when we have a rare special person like this in our life, not to be the foolish person who takes it for granted. Fact is, No matter what happens at work, or what the world thinks/says, Cherish the Mothers and you can't lose. Everything else you'll be able to figure out- Happy home is worth more than Gold Thank G-D for Moms. Happy Mother's Day."

Jenna Dewan & Steve Kazee

"At first glance this may seem like a strange picture to choose to show my love and appreciation for you on this Mother's Day but upon closer inspection you can see why it is the absolute perfect picture for the occasion. Here you are at 9pm after a long day of feeding one child and wrangling another. Here you are pumping even more milk. Here you are after two months of doing that same thing every single day. Here you are exhausted and delirious. Here you are not knowing what day it is. Here you are under a quarantine in the middle of a global pandemic. Here you are in the middle of true adversity," Steve Kazee shared a picture of Jenna Dewan on Instagram for Mother's Day. "And...here you are...smiling. Like you always do. It's no surprise to me. This is how you do everything. You smile and you make everything around you better. You have given me the most wonderful little boy I could have ever asked for. You have given me the most amazing (soon to be) step daughter. You have kept me smiling through all of this even when I struggle the most. These are extraordinary times and you are a shining example for the rest of us, especially me, of what to strive for in this life. You are an incredible mother. Our children are lucky to have you. No matter what this world brings you are always ready for it. Always with grace. Always with a smile. I love you. Happy Mother's Day!"

Meghan King

"I wasn't looking forward to this Mother's Day. Quarantined with 3 screaming toddlers for 9 weeks while trying to work hasn't exactly been a prime environment for me to feel like I'm earning any mother-of-the-year awards," wrote Meghan King in a lengthy post about the conflicted feelings she had about this Mother's Day. "Being prisoners in our home has killed our spirits and crushed our souls. Then add this: it's my first Mother's Day I'm spending without a partner, something I NEVER envisioned. "Families are created out of unconditional love" I thought. "Two parents weather life's storms but always remain together to celebrate the subsequent rainbows" I thought. But that is not my story and that makes me feel deeply regretful - like I failed my children by not giving them a nuclear family. But today I am refusing to dwell on mistakes and shitty situations I can't control; today I control my reaction. I miss my step-kids who made me a mother before I had children of my own and I am sending them so much love. I miss my freedom. And I mourn the loss of what could've been. But despite this I look at my beautiful tribe with pride because I am a mother to three incredible kids and I'm the only one they've got. To all the mamas out there, I lift you up in solidarity for the all the hard times and in celebration of the good times. Hats off to us today, for all the hats we wear." 

Jessica Biel

"Happy Mother's Day to all the new, sleep deprived moms," Shay Mitchell wrote in an Instagram post on Mother's Day. "To all the newish moms who are finally getting their bearings and adjusting to a new normal. To all the moms of multiples. To all the working moms. To all the single moms. To all the moms of rainbow babies. To the moms who have lost children. To those with difficult relationships with theIr moms. To mother figures in the absence of children. To all the women who are moms in their hearts but their bodies aren't cooperating. To anyone who woke-up this morning with a pang of sadness because they no longer have their mom here. And let's not forget the moms who are totally content with fur babies, or nothing to take care of at all. Wherever you are in this relationship, celebrate that today."
