Celebrity Mums Get Real About Motherhood

From Mariah Carey to Reese Witherspoon.

Kate Winslet

Chrissy Teigen

โ€œNo-one told me I would be coming home in diapers too,โ€ Chrissy wrote on Twitter.

Sandra Bullock

Halle Berry

โ€œThereโ€™s a difference between boys and girls. You know, Iโ€™m nursing bothโ€ฆ I breastfed Nahla and Iโ€™m nursing my baby. When I would put Nahla on the boob she would go (imitates light sucking) a nice little girly suck; with him, itโ€™s like heโ€™s like sucking the life out of me,โ€ Halle Berry told The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Hilary Duff

โ€œI always feel torn or guilty about something. Iโ€™m not working right now, and at first I stressed about that, like, โ€˜Oh, I shouldnโ€™t stay still this long.โ€™ And thatโ€™s ridiculous. I have a child; itโ€™s totally fine to not be slammed all the time. It feels really good to not be on someone elseโ€™s schedule โ€” besides Lucaโ€™s. Iโ€™m basically his chauffeur!โ€ Hilary Duff told Redbook.

Blake Lively

โ€œYou never know when youโ€™re gonna get crapped on or when youโ€™re gonna get a big smile or when that smile immediately turns into hysterics. It might be like living with a drug addict,โ€ Blake Lively told the Los Angeles Times,

Jennifer Hudson

โ€œ(When) I try to kiss him, heโ€™s like, โ€˜Mummy there are people! You canโ€™t kiss me!โ€™โ€ฆโ€™But Iโ€™m your mummy. I should be able to kiss you,โ€ Jennifer Hudson told Today.

Charlize Theron

โ€œSeth (MacFarlane) calls him โ€˜the little Republicanโ€™ because heโ€™s just always saying no. No Seth. No Mama. No. No. Itโ€™s a lot of that,โ€ Charlize Theron told The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Jennifer Garner

TODAY Parents.โ€œI try to be the best version of myself and to have faith that theyโ€™re watching me as carefully when I do something right as they do when I roll through a stop sign,โ€ she told 

Olivia Wilde

โ€œI like beer. And pizza. And, these two ingredients are not found in the purely fictional book I like to call How to Look Like You Never Made a Human: A Guide to Socially Acceptable Motherhood,โ€ Olivia told Shape.

Drew Barrymore

My mother used to dress rather risquรฉ when I was a kid, and that sort of shocked me. I always thought moms were supposed to wear cardigans and flats, but she was in leather bracelets and minidresses. In hindsight, I thought it was pretty cool, but Iโ€™m probably more conservative because of it,โ€ Drew Barrymore told Elle

Mila Kunis

Mila said to Glamourโ€œI have a really sweet daughter. She wants to hug all the other kids. I didnโ€™t teach her to be sweet. It has nothing to do with me. Iโ€™ve realised you can only control so much,โ€
