Family

Keira Knightley is a mother of 2 daughters she raises together with her husband James Rayton. The actress has her own view of motherhood, and she openly talks about it in interviews. She doesn’t let her kids watch some Disney cartoons, she thinks that dads are sometimes overpraised for performing basic parenting duties, and she is critical of how Kate Middleton was pressured to present an over-idealized image of how women should look after giving birth.

Adults often violate the fragile boundaries of children and upset them. However, when we grow up, we often make the same mistakes with our own children. We are absolutely sure that many mistakes in the relationships between adults and children can be avoided if we look at the situation from a different angle. Hopefully, the following stories will help do that.

From transforming on demand into a mom or a dad to heavily multitasking, all while having a supernatural amount of patience, we can’t argue that it takes a superhero to raise a kid with no partner. And some stars are opening up to the world about their touching lives as single parents, proving that no fame or fortune compares to the fulfillment we get when we’re going through the challenging yet tender journey of parenthood alone.

In many ways, famous moms and dads are just like ordinary people. Some prefer to hide their kids from the public for as long as possible, and others take millions of photos of their kids and show them to other people. And some celebrities even show up at the red carpet with their children. We looked back at the most incredible appearances of famous people with their children.

According to statistics, in 2018, there were 15 million children in the US alone living with only their mothers. Not surprisingly, more and more single moms have lately been teaming up. There’s even a special website, where they can find someone with whom they can share difficult financial and parenting issues. But not everyone uses websites; sometimes even an old friend can become a new partner. The story of 2 girls from New Zealand confirms this.

We often hear that parents’ divorce is traumatic for children, even if they’re splitting up after many years of marriage. This can lead to serious consequences, one of which is children’s disillusionment with marriage itself, resulting in a reluctance to start a family of their own for fear that it will fall apart anyway. This was the case with Christian Bale, who had absolutely no faith in marriage after his parents’ divorce. But meeting Sibi Blažić changed everything, and he is now a happy husband and father of two.

After his role in Sherlock, actor Benedict Cumberbatch became one of the most desired bachelors in the blink of an eye. But right before becoming a success, he met his future wife. Even though they didn’t realize they had romantic feelings for each other at first, they eventually became a family and are now raising 3 kids. They have managed to achieve the impossible for a celebrity — they can share with their fans the most important moments of their lives, while still keeping their lives away from public attention.

One of the most sought-after pieces of news about a celebrity couple is whether they are going to have children or not. The press is always focused on getting this information, and when they do, they keep track of the mother’s growing belly, the birth, and even the baby’s development. But for all the attention they may give to the little one, the interest often lasts only a couple of years and the public usually loses track of the kid as they grow older. However, when you see some of the children of celebrities suddenly looking so grown, you realize that time is running out.

Did you know that there are increasingly more twins being born all over the world? Scientists link this to the average age of women giving birth. Statistically, women around the age of 40 are more likely to give birth to twins. Other likely reasons: the availability of IVF and modern infertility treatments, which can also lead to multiple fetuses. So it’s no wonder that more and more celebrities are also having twins. And as a bonus, we’ll tell you which famous actress will soon be joining the list.

In recent years, a trend has spread over the Internet in which people take their old, cherished family photos and try to recreate them as precisely as possible. It is only when comparing these replicas with the original photos that we realize how fleeting time really is.

Keith Urban is a well-known star. He has millions of fans, dozens of awards, and a nice family. Today, he looks really happy with his wife Nicole Kidman in all their photos, but it wasn’t easy for them. Keith had to work a lot to get over his difficult childhood and leave his bad habits in the past to become a loving husband and father to his 2 daughters.

Every time, when members of the British royal family fall in love with ordinary people, we’re always interested in their relationships. In moments like these, it seems that these situations are exceptions because royals rarely marry common people. But in fact, it’s not true, and we have 15 stories to prove it.

Modern parents are sure that they know everything about their kids’ clothing. If they decide to go for cotton clothing, they choose only 100% cotton, and they firmly say no to synthetics. At the same time, they want the styles to be trendy, the colors to be bright, and the overall look to be balanced. Alas, even attractive-looking items that are good quality can hide dangers that loving parents don’t have a clue about.

As Shakespeare says, “the course of true love never did run smooth.” We believe that love can appear at any time, and sometimes love found later in life can be that much sweeter. Many celebrities prove through their lives that it can take time to find the right person, but when you do it is worth the wait.

Choosing a name for a newborn is often quite difficult. Some parents decide to follow family traditions, while others try to find an unusual and memorable name. Some stars come up with extraordinary names with a unique backstory behind them.

Celebrity mothers are often surrounded with attention and hear a lot of praise from the public. But famous dads also deserve some credit. Despite their tight schedules, many of them are convinced: the time they spend with their kids is sacred. So, they happily attend sports games, rest on the beach, and spend quality time at home with their kids.

Amal and George Clooney are seen as the perfect role models. In addition to being affectionate to one another, they are also exemplary parents. The couple rarely reveals any details about their personal lives, but they do speak openly about their approach to raising children. We think there’s a lot of wisdom in their outlook.

In many societies, people still believe that mothers care more about their children and fathers only help in their free time and don’t have that big of a responsibility. But it’s not always true, and these single fathers bust that myth.

Michelle Williams has had an incredibly successful career. The actress knows how to choose interesting projects, she’s been nominated for the Oscar 4 times, won an Emmy, and won two Golden Globe awards. But she has had other struggles in her personal life, particularly while raising her first daughter alone. Williams says that she had to walk a long path, which ultimately led to becoming happy. She’s finally found a family and is now expecting a third child.

When people enter their adult life, they have to make a difficult choice sometimes: to spend their time and energy on their career or on a romantic relationship. Quentin Tarantino, who’s been fond of movies since childhood, chose his career and stayed true to his choice till the age of 55. But once, when he visited Israel for work, he met model and singer Daniella Pick. She turned his life upside down and made him doubt his initial choice.
