Hollywood Moms Get Real

CELEBRITY MAMAS OPEN UP ABOUT BALANCING ACTS, EMBARRASSING THEIR KIDS AND WHY THEY HAVE NO TIME FOR MOM SHAMING.

JENNIFER’S MOM GUILT

Leave it to Jennifer Lawrence to tell it like it is. The mom to Cy, 15 months, has been open about the challenges that come with being a working mom. “Every day of being a mom, I feel awful,” she’s said. “I feel guilty.”

The Hunger Games alum was back on set for her upcoming comedy, No Hard Feelings, in late 2022, just eight months after she and her husband of three years, Cooke Maroney, 38, welcomed Cy. A source says the busy actress and producer, 32, struggles to find a work/life balance. “As much as Jennifer loves her work, it’s harder now that she has a baby,” says the insider. “She’s managing as best she can and everyone on set is so accommodating. She can bring Cy and spend time with him during breaks.” JLaw doesn’t take that for granted. “Not all working mothers have it so good, and Jennifer knows how lucky she is.”

RIHANNA’S MORE CONFIDENT THAN EVER

Welcoming baby RZA last May changed everything for Rihanna. “You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever,” said the “Diamonds” singer, 35, who’s expecting her second child with her boyfriend of nearly three years, rapper A$AP Rocky, 34. “Life before my son seems very obscure. It’s very small and cloudy, it just got better with him.” Even her confidence level has soared since she embarked on motherhood. “When you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you can take on the world and do anything,” she said after her Super Bowl LVII halftime show.
