© Photo: InstagramIn celebration of Mother's Day, here at HELLO! we have decided to round up some of the cutest pictures of our celebrity mothers and their adorable children. From the likes of Holly Willoughby to Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian to Beyoncé, take a look through our gallery to see who made the cut…
Holly Willoughby
This Morning star Holly shares three beautiful children - seven-year-old Harry, five-year-old Belle and Chester, two - with husband Daniel Baldwin. Last month, on her 36th birthday, the TV star enjoyed early morning cuddles in bed from her three children and her husband in celebration of her special day. She proudly shared a photo on Instagram with her fans and wrote: "Everything I could possibly ever want on my birthday!!!" Holly recently opened up about being a working mother, confessing that it is her role as a parent that gives her the most meaning in life. "I love work but the most important thing is my family and making that right," she said. "If that doesn't feel right, I really put the brake on and pull back [from work]. Even friendships will sort of go down the pecking order because it's not as important as that really, if I'm honest. If they're true friends, they'll always understand that."
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham is a proud mother to four beautiful children. The former Spice Girls star and her husband often take to their respective pages to share pictures of their brood - Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11 and five-year-old Harper. In 2015, the fashion designer opened up about motherhood, where she described the "constant struggle" she feels as a working mother. "They are a wonder to me every day," she wrote in Time magazine. "From a teenage son through to a toddler daughter, each moment of every day is filled with different energies, activities, feelings and a lot of comedy." She added: "Like so many working mothers all over the world, I feel the constant struggle to be the best mother I can, whilst setting a good example to my children to work hard. I travel for work when it's necessary, and I miss them all the time when I am away."

Reality TV star Kim is famed for documenting her life on social media, so it comes as no surprise that the mother-of-two frequently shares pictures of her daughter North and son Saint West. "[Motherhood] has taught me how to prioritise," she previously told C Magazine. "And I was forced to take a break for a while. I never liked downtime, but I decided I enjoy it – that's when the fun ideas come about." She added: "When I was pregnant with [North], I thought, My life is so hectic—how am I going to take her to ballet classes and soccer? I had these visions of all the things I did growing up, and I was really freaked out. And when it happens, you just instinctively know how to do it."

Emily MacDonagh shares two adorable young children with husband Peter Andre. The couple, who tied the knot in July 2015, welcomed their daughter Amelia in January 2014, with their son Theo born in November 2016. Emily, a doctor, has admitted she would love to have a third child. "I'd like to have one more baby in about five years' time," she told Now magazine. Speaking about her household since becoming a mother, she added: "Things are very good. It's busy definitely with Theo. He isn't sleeping very well at the moment - only about two hours at a time. I'm hoping there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s going to get easier. Amelia was an absolute star, a dream child who slept through the night after eight weeks. I think I had it easy first time round… But Theo's so gorgeous so I don't mind."

Hollywood beauty Catherine and her husband Michael Douglas are doting parents to their son Dylan and daughter Carys. The proud mum recently opened up about her teenage children, saying they certainly have the talent and the drive to pursue a career in Hollywood. When asked if her kids were interested in following in her footsteps, Catherine, 47, told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel: "They are, they are. I know it's going to be hard for them because they've got their grandfather Kirk, they've got me, they have Michael, but they so inherently love it." She added: "They're good. They go to summer camp every year, they do three musicals and straight plays, they love it. I've had a wonderful life in this business so I only – if they want to do it, they know the hardships and the percentages of who makes it and who doesn't. So I just think that they've got – they've got the talent and I know that they have the drive."

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy are perhaps one of the cutest mother-daughter duos out there. Here, pictured at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2014, the pair shared a sweet embrace. With twins on the way, the singer is no doubt excited to expand her brood with husband Jay Z. In 2013, the superstar gave a candid insight into motherhood. "I felt very maternal around eight months," she told Vogue. "And I thought I couldn't become any more [maternal] until I saw the baby. ...But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child."

Model Chrissy and her husband John Legend are proud parents to 11-month-old daughter Luna. The stars, who married since 2013, have been open about their struggle to conceive for several years before turning to IVF. Earlier this month, the mother-of-one penned an open essay in which she detailed her struggle with postnatal depression. "What basically everyone around me - but me - knew up until December was this: I have postpartum depression," she explained in Glamour. Chrissy also confided that she has since been taking antidepressants, and plans to see a therapist on a regular basis. Hoping to inspire others to seek help, the star explained that she's now starting to feel like her old self again, since she shared the news of her postpartum depression - also known as postnatal depression - with family and friends.

Kimberley is currently adjusting to her new role as a mum-of-two. The singer, who welcomed her second child Cole in December, has admitted that she forgot how many feeds and nappy changes a newborn needs. Writing in her HELLO! Online blog, Kimberley recently opened up about her adorable baby boy as she shared the sweetest photo of him. "Our little baby Cole is six weeks old already," the 35-year-old wrote. "I can't believe how the time has flown. It's strange but it already feels like he's always been here. The first few weeks with a newborn always knocks me for six a bit but I feel so much more relaxed second time round which really helps. I forgot how many feeds and nappy changes you can do in one day!"

She shares 12-year-old Apple and ten-year-old Moses with ex-husband Chris Martin, but Gwyneth Paltrow has made sure that she and her ex co-parent their beautiful kids together. Last year, the actress opened up about the end of her marriage with the Coldplay musician, admitting she was proud of their relationship as co-parents. "As anybody who has been divorced knows, you have to put a lot aside to maintain the family and the practicalities of what that might mean and sometimes that’s quite tough on a personal level," the Hollywood star told Page Six, adding, "It's a commitment I make every day to my children and their father even though we're not in a romantic relationship."
Blake Lively
Blake Lively, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, let both her daughters make their public debut in December during their father's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. The actress looked picture perfect as she cuddle up to baby Ines and her two-year-old sister James. Blake has previously opened up about her beautiful first daughter, saying: My family, that's the thing that I feel most protective of and the thing that I feel is the most exposed when I feel exploited. I'd rather not have to deal with it at all, but we knew the lifestyle we were getting into, and while it's hard… it's another thing when it's our child. She didn't have the opportunity to make a decision about what she wants."
