This Mother’s Day, as we’re getting together with our moms, spending time with our kids, or remembering brilliant, beautiful mothers who have sadly passed, celebrities are taking to Instagram to pay tribute to their own matriarchs. From devoted momagers (Yolanda Hadid and Kris Jenner, we’re looking at you) to incredible moms who stayed out of the spotlight or worked long hours to create opportunity for their kids, these women—much like our own moms—deserve a ton of love. Scroll through for some very poignant, heartfelt Mother’s Day tributes from celebrities to the mamas that raised them.
Gabrielle Union
“This is my mom. Mom graduated from high school in the mid 60s & went straight to work. She met my dad & they began to take college courses at night after work & cleaned a daycare after classes for free childcare. My mom didnt graduate from college until 1983. She never gave up, she never stopped working. This is who raised me. She has never had enough resources but she’s always made a way. When my parents got divorced after almost 30 yrs she didnt make it our business or talk to us about her “side”, she made sure we loved and respected our dad. She prioritized our peace. At 60 my mom adopted 3 more kids…shes still going and shes still finding a way against all the odds. This incredible woman is my forever inspiration and I love you and celebrate you today and everyday. Love you Theresa Marie Glass Union. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY”
Gal Gadot
“Happy Mother’s Day Ima! I love you sooo sooooo sooooo much. You’ve always been there for me, always loving me. Thank you for all that you do for me and our family.”
“Sometimes all you need is your Mama ? #happymothersday”

“It’s impossible for any picture to truly capture what my mother, Marian, has meant to me. Happy #MothersDay to all of the moms out there, and especially to my own.”
Rihanna
“beautiful. sweet. strong. humble. gang. – @monica_fenty ??? Happy Mother’s Day to my fav’ !!! sending love to all the mothers, the mothers to be, and the ones who stepped in to be mothers to those who can’t be with theirs today! God bless you not just today, but everyday for the thankless and selfless jobs that you do! You’re greatly appreciated!!”
Jessica Alba
“Motherhood: it’s a doozy, isn’t it? Your world gets turned completely upside down. Everything you thought you knew about what was important is no longer. And all the things you once took for granted — like sleep, and sitting down to eat an actual meal — become the greatest luxuries. Little people change you. To love and need someone that much and have them love and need you just as much…it’s the best and hardest and most heartbreaking thing there is. I still can’t believe it, but my oldest baby is almost 10 years old. And you know what? She doesn’t need me in the same ways she once did. There goes that heartbreak again…but it’s true. The time we have with our little ones when they’re actually little is so fleeting. And it’s a reminder for me to be present and cherish every messy moment. Every tantrum, every tired cry, every bit of these days that sometimes feel like they’ll never end. Because the truth is, they will. As a first-time mother, I was still learning about this person I had become. And I felt like everything had to be just perfect. But these days, I’m ok if my baby cries a little bit…because I know he’ll be ok. And so what if the dishes pile up in the sink…and if my living room looks nothing like the Instagram post five seconds after I take the picture. It’s all ok. This Mother’s Day (and really, every day), I want to thank you for trusting us @honest to be a part of your journey. And I want to let you know that even if it doesn’t always feel like it, you’ve got this. It’s not gonna be perfect. But you’re an amazing mama. And that’s everything. xo. ?❤️✨”
Nicki Minaj
“My mother told me to post this. ?Love you mommy.”

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. although everyday is Mother’s Day, it is sure great to celebrate! My olive and my Frankie… you are the loves of my life.”

“Each time my feet touched the earth I knew my mother was there with me. I knew this body was not mine but a living continuation of my mother and my father and my grandparents and great-grandparents. Of all my ancestors. Those feet that I saw as “my” feet were actually “our” feet. Together my mother and I were leaving footprints in the damp soil” – Thich Nhat Hanh ?

“Happy #MothersDay to my Mom, the actress Kate McCauley Hathaway. This is a photo of her as Nellie Forbush in South Pacific. She was four months pregnant with my older brother when she played this part and did cartwheels on stage every dang night- twice on matinee days. She pursued her dreams of being an actress while raising three children before that was cool and before you got credit for it— and she hasn’t stopped. She is in rehearsal right now for “At Wit’s End” at Cape May Stage which runs May 24th- June 22nd. If you find yourself in the cutest town just south of #exitzero in NJ, you should check her out.Mama, you’re the Queen. Happy Mother’s Day xx”
