Before she was co-hosting one of the biggest daytime talk shows, birthday girl Kelly Ripa, who today turns the big 5-0, was a major star on the soap opera All My Children. During her time on the show, Kelly met, fell in love with, and married the love of her life, Mark Consuelos! Together the couple have three children — and one of them is already in their early 20s! Kelly and Mark are the proud parents of son Michael, 23, daughter Lola, 19, and son Joaquin, 18. The two constantly gush about their youngsters, and on Kelly’s birthday, we can only imagine what fun they have in store for her!

Katie Holmes became a total sensation when she starred on Dawson’s Creek in the ’90s. But it was in the mid-2000s when Katie was at the center of the limelight, after marrying husband Tom Cruise. Prior to their marriage, the two welcomed daughter Suri Cruise, 14. Sadly, the couple divorced by 2012, but Katie and Suri have often been seen out and about together in New York City, showing off their strong bond.

Katie also gushes about her mini-me daughter, saying that she really grew up with her youngster. “I was happy to become a mom in my 20s,” Katie revealed in a November 2019 interview. “It’s been nice that our ages fit. How do I put this? Every age that my child has been and my age at that time has been a good match. We kind of grew up together.”

Although she’s a bonafide star today, Angelina Jolie‘s star really started to rise in the ’90s. In 1999, the actress starred in the film Girl, Interrupted and went on to win her first Oscar for her role in the film the very next year! Of course, Angie’s favorite role of all has been as mother to her six children. Angie and ex Brad Pitt share three adopted children and three biological children — Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 12.

As a mother to young daughters, especially, Angelina has opened up about the type of advice she gives them. “I tell my daughters, ‘What sets you apart is what you are willing to do for others. Anyone can put on a dress and makeup. It’s your mind that will define you,’” she shared in a February 2018 interview. Angelina and Brad are still in the midst of their highly contested custody battle.
