10 Celebrities Who Can Teach Anyone How to Combine Work and Raising Kids

It seems to many of us that a successful career and raising kids are two difficult things to combine. However, the heroes of our compilation prove the opposite.

The actress made up a special calendar for Olive so she can count down the days until her beloved mom returns home. Drew thinks that it makes it easier for her to overcome their time apart. Also, the actress is famous for her strict parenting methods and for keeping her kids separate from her work, thus, giving them the opportunity to choose their own path in life.

9. Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth is an Australian actor who is most famous for his role as Thor, one of the Avengers. Despite his hectic schedule, the actor always finds spare time for his 3 kids — India Rose and twins, Sasha and Tristan. Additonally, Chris has been working with the Australian Childhood Foundation for a long time. According to the actor, the charity helps him to better cope with the parenting of his children.

To keep the relationships in the family strong, Chris recommends that other parents share their interests with their children. He tries to lead by example by teaching India Rose how to surf himself. At the same time he calls her his “teacher and inspirer, sitting on his shoulders.” By the way, please make sure to watch the video above because there is no other place where you’ll see such an inspiring dance by Thor.

8. Gisele Bündchen

Gisele Bündchen is a Brazilian supermodel and a former Victoria’s Secret angel. She and her ex-husband are raising 2 very sweet children — 13-year-old Benjamin and 10-year-old Vivian. Bündchen thinks that the belief in a healthy lifestyle is something that should be instilled from early childhood. That’s the reason she and her daughter have been doing yoga together since her daughter was 10-months-old.

Gisele also thinks that there’s no such thing as “other people’s children” and to keep the family strong they must all be loved like your own children. That’s how she prevented her ex-husband’s child, from his first marriage, from feeling like a stranger in his dad’s new family. “I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me just because somebody else delivered him, it doesn’t mean that that’s not my child. I feel he is, 100 percent.”

7. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock,” is an American actor and a caring father of 3 daughters — Simone, Jasmine and Tiana Gia.

He put on the costume of her favorite Pikachu and showed her that there’s nothing scary about it.

His eldest daughter already got her Miss “Golden Globes” award accompanying her father to the event in January this year.

With this type of relationship children always know that they are loved and they have the foundation of their parents’ support. “They know they can come to me any time they have any questions or issues. I very much want this connection to not be broken. My children are my main priority and my home is my sanctuary.”

4. Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt, the star of Guardians of the Galaxy, loves fishing with his son Jack. The actor wants his children to be independent from a very young age. This approach to upbringing and being a positive example, which Chris shows, led to the fact that his son wants to be just like him. The reason why Jack says he always finishes his food is to be as tall as his dad.

Additionally, Pratt relates to everything that Jack does with a sense of humor. “Not sure what made me more proud: when Jack insisted on holding this barracuda himself, or when he tried it raw!” He is also the father of Lyla and Eloise from his second marriage.

3. Beyoncé

The main plot was that “a person that doesn’t care about their family, can’t be rich.” Their position on this topic instills in a child the understanding that family is more important than all the money in the world.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo

Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo is the father of 5 children — Cristiano Jr., Alana, twins Eva and Matteo, and Bella. They all adore their celebrity dad. 2 of them were born with the help of a surrogate, but this fact only makes him love his kids even more.
