Remember in elementary school, it was kind of exciting to find out what your classmates’ parents looked like? Well, really things haven’t changed all that much. We’re always interested in seeing where folks come from literally and figuratively. And for many of us, Momma represents the origin. So in the spirit of Mother’s Day and being nosey, check out these celebs and their mothers.

    • Akosua123

      No it’s because they’re focusing on the mothers of positive women.

      • BabaPuppe

        Naomi isn’t very positive, let’s not forget she had a problem keeping her hands to herself and temper in check…

      • Nitty

        Alicia keys isn’t positive
        she’s a home wrecker

      Rihanna’s mom is one beautiful woman. I follow Rihanna on Instagram & her parents & brothers were in the states w/ her. Her mom was working it! lol. She had a cute bob hair cute & red lips.

    All so beautiful. Most look like their mothers. My first born daughter looks nothing like me =( A splitting image of her daddy. God bless!

    ALL these mothers look BEAT… WOW! Tia and Tamara’s mom looks like the “Help” aka “mammy, NOT their biological mother but rather the woman who raised them.

    • Mtiani2001

    Yeah, it’s always fun to look for the family resemblances.  Malinda Williams and her mother look alike from the nose down.  Jennifer Hudson and her mother looked alike in the eyes, and shape of their faces.  I didn’t know Phylicia Rashad had a daughter.  I thought she had a boy with Ahmad Rashad.  I don’t see the resemblance to either parent in her, but she had to get her height from dad. 
     
    The ones who don’t look much like their mothers, make me want to see if they look more like the dads.

  • Ay

    Is Alicia really an only child? I swear she has a younger brother……..

    Wow Jill’s mom is tall LMAO

    Naomi’s mom is the best looking at her age.

    That’s sad about Maya, she barely got to know her mother Minnie.

      Alicia has a half brother named Cole they have the same dad but with her mom and dad she’s an only child
