15 Celebrities Get Honest About Motherhood

Molly-Mae Hague Admits She Was "Not Prepared" for Motherhood

While celebrities may have the resources of extra help and financial security, the impact of motherhood is still a life-changing experience for them. Whether they are first-time mothers like Rihanna, who welcomed her first child with A$AP Rocky in May 2022, or they have a large brood like "Loose Women" panellist Stacey Solomon who gave birth to her fifth child in February, being a parent, and especially a mother, is undoubtedly emotionally tricky to navigate, but also one of the most fulfilling jobs out there.

Former "Love Island" star Molly-Mae Hague, who gave birth to her first child with Tommy Fury in Jan., opened up about her experience in an Instagram Q&A on 21 March. One follower asked: "Is having a baby harder than you imagined?" Hague replied: "'Yes. 100% yes. I'm not going to beat around the bush... I was not prepared. She's completely and utterly worth it all though. Every single hard moment!"

And she's not the only celebrity who has got refreshingly honest about motherhood. From birth to caring for a newborn and the responsibility of raising children, these women have all been real about becoming a parent — the good, the bad, and the nappy overloads. They have also reminded us that each person's journey with their children is different. Chrissy Teigen initially admitted that she struggled to bond with her children, while Jennifer Lawrence expressed her anxiety about whether she was doing things right. On the other hand, celebs like Blake Lively and "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner have spoken about how having a baby has made them better people, while Lily Allen reflected on feeling guilty for the choices she made during her daughters' early life. Plus, there's of course some hilarious anecdotes that come with the job,too!
