17 Celebrity Mothers Who Have a Wonderfully Pure Relationship With Their Kids

There is nothing like the bond between a mother and her kids, and there are good reasons for that. Research has shown that when a child is distressed, a mother experiences the situation as if she were in that same distress. It’s the deepest kind of empathy through which mothers try to understand and respond to their kids’ feelings. This is why when people get famous and successful tend to show gratitude and love to their mothers.
