Parenting is tough work. Working and parenting present even more challenges. Tying to be an A-list celebrity while raising kids, well, that is a whole other ball of wax. Sure famous moms have plenty of staff to help out, but they also have scripts to learn, locations to fly off to, and film premieres to attend. Furthermore, they and their children live out their lives in the public eye.
It has to be a full plate juggling a film career and a kid, but some celebs seem to do it with ease. In fact, some famous mommies have more than one or two kids underfoot. They are raising an entire army! Check out these Hollywood mothers who have managed to maintain a lucrative career in entertainment, while raising four or more children.
11 Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is one busy woman. She is an A-list celebrity, a human rights activist, and a mother to six kids. She is also brutally honest about motherhood and isn't afraid of reaching out and sharing the woes in her own world.
She adopted her first two children, Maddox and Zahara, before beginning her high profile relationship with Brad Pitt. They then added little Shiloh to the brood, adopted Pax, and then gave birth to twins! If you are keeping count, that is three adopted children and three biological kids for the stunning actress.
10 Lauren Hill
Lauryn Hill has been belting out sultry tunes for decades. She has also been a mother for about that long, as well. The singer has given birth to five children with her former partner, Rohan Marley.
Rohan is the son of reggae great, Bob Marley. Hill recently gave birth to a sixth child, but it has been made known that her final child Marley is not the father and biologically belongs to someone else.
9 Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling fell head over heels for her husband, Dean McDermont, while the two filmed a made for television movie together. Then quickly wed, after both actors dissolved their unions to others, made their love official, and got to the baby-making.
They first welcomed son Liam into their family, and Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau came one after the other. Tori is also a stepmother to Dean's older son from his previous marriage. Tori's life might get messy at times, but it is all hers, and she loves it.
8 Natalia Vodianova
This beautiful model is not only a runaway extraordinaire, but is also a philanthropist, entrepreneur, and public speaker. Oh yeah, add mother to five to this list of accomplishments, as well.
The model and her former husband, Justin Portman, had three children together, son Lucas Alexander, daughter Neva, and son Viktor before they decided to end their marriage. She then had two children with her new love, Antoine Arnault.
7 Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner is a unique mama of many in that everyone she birthed has become successful beyond measure in their own right. Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian are all well known for their reality television show, as well as their stores, clothing and swimwear lines, and blogs. Kris also has Kylie Jenner and Kendall with her ex Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner. Kylie is a (controversial) billionaire, and Kendall is one of the most sought after models in the world.
She also has a son, Robert, who has stayed out of the limelight compared to his sisters, but did start his own sock company at one point. While he is considered to be the poorest member of the family, his net worth is still somewhere around 10 million dollars.
6 Madonna
No one could have guessed that Madonna would have such a maternal side when she was rolling around stages in a wedding gown. Today, she is the proud mother to six kids.
Lourdes, her oldest daughter, is the product of a relationship with Carlos Leon. Her union with Guy Ritchie resulted in son Rocco. Madge also adopted four children on her own, bringing her total to a solid half dozen kiddos.
5 Mia Farrow
Mia Farrow is best known for two significant accomplishments: starring in films and being a mom to a whole lot of children. Her parenting journey has been filled with its fair share of tribulations. Her marriage to Andre Previn resulted in three biological kids and three adopted children.
She then had a child with Woody Allen and adopted two more kids with him. Following her split with Allen (and Allen starting a relationship with one of Mia's older adopted kids), she then adopted more children on her own. In total, Mia Farrow is a mom to 14 children!
4 Marie Osmond
3
Marie Osmond has one of the most recognized voices in the world. She is known for her performing abilities, as well as her role as mom to several kids.
Osmond racked up eight children over her years. She gave birth to seven of those kids and adopted her son Michael. Sadly Michael passed away in 2010 at the age of 18. It was a sad occurrence that no parent should ever have to endure, and the world felt for the devoted mother in mourning.
2 Kate Gosselin
Kate Gosselin and her former spouse Jon made their fortune while appearing on Jon and Kate Plus Eight. The TLC reality series walked fans through what life with twins and sextuplets was like for everyday people like Kate.
Kate never hid the fact that being a mom to eight youngsters was a challenge, and she often came under fire for how she treated her brood. Kate and Jon eventually separated, and the kids ended up under different roofs, thanks to the nasty split. Regardless of whether you love or hate Kate, you have to give her props for doing so much parenting.
1 Michelle Duggar
When it comes to female celebrities with tons of kids, no one even comes close to Michelle Duggar. Michelle is literally famous for birthing so many offspring.
She turned her stint as a mother to many into reality gold when the TLC network decided to showcase her family in the series 19 Kids and Counting, which, as the name suggests, includes her 19 children. What is even more incredible is that Michelle gave birth to all 19 kids and not a single one was adopted.
