Channing Tatum paid tribute to two moms in his life on Sunday: his mother and the mother of his baby, Jenna Dewan Tatum.

The "Magic Mike" star wrote a sweet note about the photo he took after his wife gave birth, saying, "I took this just days after jenna and I (mostly jenna) brought our little girl into the world. I've taken many like it over the past 3 years but this is one of my favorites. She was so tired. Haha. But she has such deep strength and other worldly grace. Watching her in those first days transform into a mother was life changing."

I took this just days after jenna and I (mostly jenna) brought our little girl into the world. I've taken many like it over the past 3 years but this is one of my favorites. She was so tired. Haha. But she has such deep strength and other worldly grace. Watching her in those first days transform into a mother was life changing. She was every bit the beautiful, sexy, funny, flawed creature I fell in love with. But the prism turned and showed a whole new light that I had no idea existed, the light of a mothers love. Thank you for that baby. Saw this quote today --" The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh" there are a lot of important things in being a father. Who knows what the most important thing is? All I know is that in my case this is pretty high on my list. Love you cake!

Drew Barrymore recently announced her divorce from Will Kopelman, but that doesn't mean the actress is splitting from her in-laws.

"Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family," the pair told Us Weekly in April. It seems like they're keeping their word.

Connie Britton wrote a moving message on Instagram about her son's birth mother, who she called "quite possibly the greatest hero of my life."

Britton wrote about how challenging it is to be a mother and said, "Being a mother is the dearest gift, the greatest journey, the wisest teacher, and the most difficult work in any lifetime. It should be a choice. And with that choice should come respect and support within every community and culture in the world."

Happy Mother's Day! Today I have been thinking a lot about my son's birth mother - quite possibly the greatest hero of my life. And of so many women around the world mothering under extreme and adverse circumstances. Being a mother is the dearest gift, the greatest journey, the wisest teacher, and the most difficult work in any lifetime. It should be a choice. And with that choice should come respect and support within every community and culture in the world. All mothers feel love. All mothers feel despair. All mothers feel deep responsibility, and with that, sometimes failure and sometimes fulfillment. We should worship them and forgive them. And lift them up as the queens they are. So says me. ;) I hope everyone is having a beautiful day and feeling the blessing of their own creation.
