All you

Jennifer Lopez filmed the sweetest video message to her mom Lupe. “Thank you so much for being so patient with me, for always making me believe that I could do anything I wanted to do,” she said to the camera, “and that seed that you planted really really made me who I am today. And that was all you. Happy Mother‘s Day!”

The mom-of-two’s caption was equally heartfelt, cementing her words: “#HappyMothersDay to my mama and to all the moms out there! ✨💕✨ Mom, thank you so much for being so patient with me, for making me always believe that I could do anything that I wanted to do.

Hair we go

Hilaria Baldwin reflected on what she loves about motherhood after some sweet bonding time with her daughter.

“I’m always so grateful for my children, but this Mother’s Day I’m especially appreciative after spending so much time together over these past couple of months,” she wrote. “This little girl has helped me so much. She’s my constant companion, best girlfriend, and now my quarantine hairdresser. We’ve been having so much fun playing with @scunci . During this time we’ve been searching for fun activities at home, and playing hairstylist is one of our favorite games. #ÜGotThis”

“How lucky you both are,” Alex lovingly commented. “You’re the luckiest two gals I’ve ever met.”
