Who are the most famous sinners in history?
Willoughby discovered what she calls the "floppy arm test," which involves picking up your baby's arm and seeing if it drops down heavily, to check if they're ready to sleep.
Eva Mendes, who shares two daughters with Ryan Gosling, took to Instagram to share her advice by way of her favorite parenting quote: "Spanking does for a child's development what hitting a spouse does for a marriage." While some agreed with her, others debated in the comments section, claiming they were spanked and turned out fine. Mendes replied, "So happy to agree to disagree," and acknowledged: "We all parent our own way, and I have no idea what I'm doing most the time. This didn't come with a manual. So when there's something that resonates with me, I pass it on. Lotsa love."
Emily Blunt told the Sunday Times that she and husband John Krasinski actually hide their fame from their daughters and they don't even mention their careers around them. "I don't want my kids to feel any more important or special or that there's a glare on them any more than other kids," the actress explained. "If they can remain oblivious for the longest time, I'd be thrilled," said Blunt, adding that the kids just need her to be their mother and nothing else. When the outlet asked if she would be open to her daughters following in their parents' acting footsteps, Blunt replied, "God no—no! Please God keep them off the stage.|
Longtime vegan Joaquin Phoenix opened up about raising his and Rooney Mara's son, River, with The Sunday Times. He admitted he hopes River becomes vegan but added, "I'm not going to impose my belief on my child... I don't think that's right." At the same time, Phoenix isn't going to sugarcoat the reality of where meat comes from. He said, "I'm not going to indoctrinate him with the idea that McDonald's have a Happy Meal because there's nothing f--king happy about that meal. And I'm not going to tell him that it's okay to read books about all the wonderful little farm animals, and they say ‘oink oink oink' and ‘moo moo moo', and not tell him that that's what a hamburger is." He added that he won't perpetuate any lies, but he'll support him no matter what.
Kylie Jenner became a beauty founder at 17, and she wants to pass down the same entrepreneurial spirit to her own daughter now. In the second episode of the three-part miniseries 'Inside Kylie Cosmetics,' Jenner spoke about being inspired by her "momager" Kris and all the strong women while she was growing up. "You are a product of who you surround yourself with and your family," she said, according to E! News. "My sisters and my mom have been huge influences to me, and I feel like really shaped me into who I am." Now she's focused on creating that same environment for her daughter. "Stormi has such strong women—and men—in her life, but she has a lot of strong women to look up to," the beauty mogul continued. "I think it was just a no-brainer for me and my mom and our team to just be surrounded by strong women."
Kristen Bell has said that when she's struggling with her mental health, she turns to three things: exercise, talking about it, and simply giving herself a timeout. "It's important to remember those feelings that you are having aren't 'your feelings,' but rather 'a feeling that is passing through you,'" she elaborated on the last point. "Sometimes, with a mental health issue, you just got to let them live." She applies that same logic to parenting her two daughters. When one of them is crying, she'll ask: "Do you want a solution to this problem you're crying about, or do you just want to let this feeling pass through you?" Bell gives herself that opportunity to let feelings pass by retreating to her "bedroom for 10 minutes, just to reset and regulate," and she believes giving her kids that same option is of the utmost importance.
While it seems like celebrities exist in a realm separate from us mere mortals, there is always one thing you can rely on to bring them back to ground level: the grueling reality of raising children. Sure, you can have money, fame, and worldwide fans, but you still have to assume all the gritty chores of being a parent.
Pop star Rihanna recently welcomed a baby boy with A$AP Rocky. However, she has been thinking about having kids for a long time. Back in 2021, she said that she planned to have three or four kids in the next decade, either as a single mom or with a partner.
Rihanna doesn't believe that two parents are necessary to raise a child: "They diminish you as a mother if there's not a dad in your kids' lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that's the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That's the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love."
