12 Famous Moms Who Don’t Pretend to Be Perfect and Show Their Real Life

Many Internet users attacked Khloe Kardashian for a photo with her 5-month-old daughter. The celebrity decided that using an app for editing the baby’s face was a great idea. This unrealistic picture of the baby girl shows just how far some people will go to try to look better online than they do in real life. Luckily, there are celebrities who don’t support this tendency and choose to be sincere.
Bright Side admires celebrity moms who decide to be honest with their fans. These women aren’t afraid to show that they can be tired, wearing no makeup and not living up to fashion standards while still remaining extremely happy. At the end of the article, you’ll find a bonus that proves that even fashion photoshoots can be close to real life.
12. Olivia Wilde
The star of the House M.D TV-series has 2 kids: a son, Otis Alexander, and a daughter, Daisy Josephine.
Olivia reveals how a typical mother usually looks after a long day with kids. “I call this hairstyle, ’Keep the kid alive’. Products you’ll need: sweat, string cheese, diaper rash cream, a chewed up crayon, snot, and an enthusiastic spritz of panic.”
11. Jessica Alba
Jessica is the mother of 3 children (her daughters are 11 and 8 years old, and her son is 2).
Alba laughs and says, “You realize that you’ve become a mother when you understand that you’ll never get enough sleep again.”
10. Hilary Duff
In 2018, Hillary gave birth to her second child.
She posted a video on her Instagram that shows the first minutes of her daughter’s life. No glamour, just complete happiness and the miracle of life.
9. Alyssa Milano
Alyssa has 2 kids: Milo, who is 8 years old and Elizabella, who is 5.
The actress had a miscarriage in 2009. She suffered from postpartum depression after she gave birth to her son. Milano was brave enough to talk about this difficult topic to support millions of other women who may feel like they’re alone.
8. Reese Witherspoon
“How do I do it all with 3 kids and a full-time job? This is how,” explains Witherspoon.
But the actress knows how to be happy and enjoy motherhood as well.
7. Chrissy Teigen
In 2018, Chrissy Teigen and her husband John Legend became parents for the second time.
The model really enjoys being a mom and doesn’t see any reason to edit her photos if they’re amazing the way they are.
6. Hilaria Baldwin
This is how mothers with many children take selfies.
The Instagram page of the wife of Alec Baldwin and yoga instructor, Hilaria Baldwin, is probably the best reminder that being a celebrity doesn’t mean anything. Happiness always looks the same.
5. Robyn Lawley
The model with her daughter Ripley
Lawly is sure that “the best part of having a kid is getting to be a kid again with her daughter.”
4. Zoe Saldana
Zoe has 3 children; twins Cy and Bowie, and Zen.
The celebrity mom is really proud of them.
3. Drew Barrymore
The actress has 2 daughters.
Barrymore urges women not to beat themselves up for not having a perfect body but to instead, enjoy motherhood. “We live in a society where it’s common to say things like, ’Wow, how amazing she looks only 2 weeks after giving birth.’ I don’t want to be a part of it, it’s hell. I never wanted to turn heads when I came to the beach. I have a completely different body type. I just want to feel my body better and love myself,” says Barrymore.
2. Pink
Pink is a mother of 2 children.
After giving birth to her second child, the singer weighed 130 lb (73 kg) and her height was 5’3″ (160 cm). But the celebrity didn’t feel like she needed to lose weight. She admits that she felt like herself and advises all mothers to forget about imposed beauty standards.
1. Liv Tyler
Liv and her husband David have 4 children.
The actress admits that it’s really difficult to be a mother of 4, but it has always been her dream to have a big family.
Bonus: Realism is possible even in fashion magazines. And the picture of Rachel McAdams with breast pumps taken for Girls.Girls.Girls Magazine proves that.
However, Hilary Duff noted that this process looks a bit less glamorous in real life.
