Being a celebrity mom has its own set of perks and challenges — on top of nurturing one’s children, one has to inevitably face public scrutiny for parenting and life choices. Whether single or happily wed, many celebrities have risen to the challenge and are striving to successfully raise children into a world where social media tends to judge every move.
However, social media has also allowed the loved ones of celebrities to publicly express their sentiments to these supermoms, with many coming from grateful dads and partners.
Read the following heartfelt messages celebrity moms received for this year’s Mother’s Day.
Sharon Cuneta
KC Concepcion, Sharon Cuneta’s firstborn celebrated her mom with a throwback picture from her youth.
“To an extraordinary woman with an extraordinary life. Thank you for showing us love in the many ways you know how,” she told the Megastar who is a mom of four.
Lucy Torres-Gomez
Lucy Torres-Gomez received a long note from husband Richard who shared a picture of him affectionately kissing her.
“Thank you for always being gentle yet strong and always loving to Juliana and I (sic),” said the smitten father-of-one.
He shared quirky anecdotes of his wife: “You have a way of making us laugh so hard and so much we find ourselves rolling on the floor. I adore the way you talk to me even when I’m already asleep or oftentimes I wake up and I find you praying over me.”
“I love you because you are simply you. You are the best thing that ever happened to me,” he said.
The couple has one daughter, Juliana.
Sunshine Cruz
Sunshine Cruz’ boyfriend Macky Mathay praised the actress for being a “supermom” to her three daughters and for loving his own three children as well: “Your girls, princesses are all so beautiful inside and out and it’s all because of you! They are very blessed that God gave them a mom who will see to it that they grow up to be wonderful women! Thank you also for being such a great Tita to my three children as well.”
Cruz is mother to Angelina, Sam and Chesca, who gave her flowers and made her breakfast for Mother’s Day.
Chesca Kramer
Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) cager Doug Kramer took a risk when he posted this “unflattering” picture of wife and mother to his three kids Chesca, but he just wanted to honor her first day of motherhood.
“Tired and exhausted from giving birth to Kendra, you still chose to take care of her right away despite the doctors advising rest,” he said. “I think this has been your calling. And you’ve been doing a great job sweetheart!”
Chesca is a full-time mom to three children: Kendra, Scarlett and Gavin.
Mariel Rodriguez
Robin Padilla assured wife Mariel Rodriguez that her beauty has shone at whatever weight. The actress and TV host recently spoke up about how insecure she’s felt with her post-baby weight gain.
“Gusto ko malaman mo kahit anong ganda mo pa ngayon sa mga larawan mo sa Marie France ang mananatili sa akin ay ang larawan na ito,” he said as he posted a picture of Rodriguez cradling their daughter Isabella.

Isabelle Daza
For her first Mother’s Day, Isabelle Daza received a touching message from Adrien Semblat: “1.5 months [of] being a powerful, nurturing and loving mother… our family is very lucky and proud to have you.”
Iya Villania
Host and actor Drew Arellano shared a love letter through a series of touching photos for his wife and mom to one-year-old Primo.
“My dearest PAM, without your hard work, patience, comforting ways, I wouldn’t be the cheeky, happy ball of energy that I am today. Every day is mother appreciation day when I think of you. Love you, PAM.”
Villania is expecting their second child.
Saab Magalona
First-time mom Saab Maglona has experienced love and loss when she gave birth to twins last February. She lost her girl, baby Luna, but baby Pancho has come fighting through.
Husband and Cheats bandmate Jim Bacarro credited her for saving their son’s life. “A mother’s embrace can literally save a human being’s life. With all the meds given to Pancho during his most troubled time, it was actually Saab’s touch, warmth and love that truly healed him.” JB
