How Celebrities Celebrated Mother’s Day on Instagram

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so what better way to show your appreciation than with a photo? No wonder so many of our favourite celebrities took to social media to pay homage to their mums (and some spouses). From the cute to the funny to the incredibly touching, here are some of our favourite shoutouts.

Qi Yuwu

Mother's Love. Happy Mother's Day!

A post shared by Qi (@qiyuwu) on

Qi Yuwu caught a candid moment of wife Joanne Peh spending quality time with her daughter. Everybody say now: awwww…

 

John Legend

Happy Mother's Day!!

A post shared by John Legend (@johnlegend) on

John Legend posted this photo of Chrissy and baby Luna having a private moment, something that every parent can relate to.

 

Channing Tatum

I took this just days after jenna and I (mostly jenna) brought our little girl into the world. I've taken many like it over the past 3 years but this is one of my favorites. She was so tired. Haha. But she has such deep strength and other worldly grace. Watching her in those first days transform into a mother was life changing. She was every bit the beautiful, sexy, funny, flawed creature I fell in love with. But the prism turned and showed a whole new light that I had no idea existed, the light of a mothers love. Thank you for that baby. Saw this quote today –" The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh" there are a lot of important things in being a father. Who knows what the most important thing is? All I know is that in my case this is pretty high on my list. Love you cake!

Definitely winning the sweetest caption award, Channing Tatum’s post put into words what every mother wishes to hear from her husband.

Tom posted this photo of a brightly smiling Gisele Bundchen on his Facebook page, with the caption “Happy Mothers Day! We love you!” Can we just add that the supermodel looks totally on point?

 

Carey Hart

Pink’s husband paid tribute to his wonderful wife with the sweetest tribute, thanking her for being a “great person, mother, friend, and wife”.

 

Tyra Banks

This was Tyra Bank’s first Mother’s Day with baby York, who was born via a surrogate mother earlier this year.

 

Zoe Tay

Singapore’s Ah Jie celebrated an early Mother’s Day with a video montage of presents from her children and celebration with her family.

 

Justin Timberlake

Few things in the world can surpass the love a man has for his wife, and I’m sure we all agree, with Jessica Biel as a wife, Justin Timberlake is one lucky man.

 

Alyssa Milano

Happy Mother's Day! My heart is so full.

There’s nothing like unconditional brotherly and motherly love. We’re sure Milo will grow up to be a loving, protective brother for Elizabella.

 

Hilary Duff

Oh what you do to me. #greatmothersday

The most affectionate photo we’ve seen so far, Hilary Duff’s love for son Luca shines through in this photo.
