These Celebrity Moms Had The Most Relatable Mom Moments Of The Year
Parenthood is simultaneously divisive and uniting. On one hand, we have a tendency to argue and debate about everything when it comes to parenting choices.

On the other hand, there is something truly universal about parenting and motherhood. The struggles are real. The love is real. The postpartum experience is real. With that said, we tend to forget when we admire celebrities that they're just as human as the rest of us... and then they become mothers and suddenly that universal connection is in your face. In 2019, celebrity moms were more relatable than ever before!
