Mother’s Day Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Niki DeMartino is in awe of her mother.

She and her twin sister, Gabi, would tear up the house scrambling to film a YouTube video. And her mom, Nelida (Nelly) DeMartino, just watched with patience and support.

And thank goodness for that, because today the twins are incredibly successful Youtube vloggers, singers, and lifestyle influencers.

As a young adult now, 22-year-old Niki admires how her mom has always been fiercely supportive and intensely empowering.

As part of our multi-part Mother’s Day series, Niki wrote a sweet letter to her mother to tell her how grateful she is.

Dear Mom,

I still don’t know how you did it/do it. You’re seriously the closest thing to a super-mom in my eyes. You weren’t just a mom, but you gave me the most fun childhood while teaching me how to be a good person.

Now, getting older, I’ve really began to reflect on how selfless you were raising us. Somehow, you managed to work full time yet still be at all our field hockey games, talent shows, dance recitals, and sat through our “shows” we performed in the basement.

You also drove us to school every morning in your scrubs, helped us with homework or studying for hours after school and made sure we were ready for the next day ahead.

Most importantly, you always encouraged us to be ourselves. You’ve never doubted us or our dreams as unattainable as they sounded, and as many times as other kids or parents would laugh at them. You’ve been all of our number one cheerleader and made us believe in ourselves. Any success or goal I’ve ever accomplished is all because of you.

Thank you for letting us tear apart the house and turn it into different sets to film our videos. Thanks for being patient when we fight, and thanks for always looking out for us. One day, I hope to be at least half the mom you are. You’ve set the standards pretty high.

I love you mama,
Niki

Social Media influencer Loren Gray knows she wouldn’t be where she is today without one special person in her life.

The 15-year-old star has amassed more than five million followers on Instagram and nearly a million on Youtube, using her open nature, adorable smile, and sense of humor (see picture above, LOL).

But you don’t get that far without a little (OK tons and tons) of support — and Loren definitely has that in her mom, Lora Beech.

In a touching confession, she admits it’s probably not the easiest being the mom of a teenage influencer.

For our multi-part Mother’s Day series, Loren penned a letter to her mother, straight from her heart.

Dear Mom,

I can’t express how much you mean to me! You are my mom, my best friend and my biggest fan. I know that you will always be there for me, no matter what happens.

You inspire me everyday. You are the strongest, most beautiful person I know, inside and out. I know that having a teenage daughter isn’t always easy, but you are always there for me during tough times and always know the right thing to say.

Thank you for always letting me by myself! Thank you for teaching me what it means to be a strong and independent woman. Thank you for being my role model, friend and most of all, thank you for being my mom.

XO,

Loren

Mother’s Day is important to me because I get to show you how much I appreciate and love you. Honestly, everyday should be Mother’s Day, because we should show appreciation for everything mom’s do everyday.

Thank you so much for everything you do!

Love,

Social media star Hannah Stocking‘s letter to her mom is hilarious (dead goldfish), adorable (hi, Sound of Music) and heartfelt.

The 25-year-old model and YouTube star has a way of expressing her feelings that makes you both tear up and laugh at the same time.

In our multi-part series, Hannah wants her mom to know, she’s really, really grateful for everything she has done.

Dear Mom,

Thank you for all of the times you’ve sung me “Edelweiss” to sleep, made my favorite mac n cheese, checked in on me, supported me, inspired me, driven me to school, helped me with my homework, cheered at every volleyball game and most of all given me the most undeserving amount of love.

Words can’t express what a wonderful human being you are and how grateful I am to have you as a role model. You’re the person who never curses, sees the good in everyone, and gives goldfish a proper burial.

You are amazing. You and dad are the hardest working and most kindhearted people I will ever know. I hope to be just like you when I grow up. I truly hope you see that nothing you have done has gone unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do. I love you so much!

Love,
Hannah

Gabi DeMartino really bares her soul in her emotional letter to her mother.

Gabi who — along with her twin sis Niki, became a YouTube sensation, lifestyle influencer and singer with millions of fans — wants her mom, Nelida (Nelly) DeMartino, to know how much her support truly helped her became the amazing person she is today.

Gabi‘s letter is beautiful and inspirational.

For our multi-part Mother’s Day series, Gabi penned an emotional letter to her mother to let her know how much she means to her.

Dear Mom,

It’s hard to grasp that I’m nearing the age you were when you gave up everything for me. At 22 I have a new perspective that I haven’t had before. Thanks for all you do, Mom. If it weren’t for you not only would I not be alive today, but I wouldn’t be living my dreams.

Thank you for saving me from the bullies when I was 12, for helping me switch schools in the middle of the seventh grade when I needed it most, for understanding when I was failing every class freshman year because my best friend passed away, and thank you for sleeping next to me when I couldn’t go to bed after my first heartbreak.

You would go through anything just to make sure your babies are happy and that’s the greatest thing about you.

I remember the school was so upset, because you would complain to the dean every single time I would come off the bus in tears about how the girls humiliated me… again. You didn’t care how you looked, you only cared about how I felt. Even though I was alone, you made sure I had you.

And now that I’m older with a new perspective, I wish I could tell myself that having you was all I needed. As a kid, it’s hard to see the big picture, and I’m sorry if it ever seemed like I took you for granted.

I love you, Mom.

Love,
Gabi

Jenna Marie Ortega group up one of six children. In other words, her mom had her hands full!

When the now-14-year-old Jane the Virgin actress discovered a love of acting at only 6 years old, her mom, Natalie Ortega, didn’t hesitate to support her.

No surprise, Jenna (who you might also know as Harley Diaz from Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle) is eternally grateful for her mother!

In Jenna‘s eyes, she literally wouldn’t be where she is today without her mom, and you’ll see why.

For our multi-part Mother’s Day series, Jenna penned a letter to her mother, straight from her heart.

Dear Mom,

You are the most phenomenal human being I have ever met. It is as simple at that. You deal with 6 kids, two grandchildren, and a job as a full-time nurse in the ER. You have sacrificed your life for all of us kids to follow our dreams and I cannot even put into words how much I appreciate you. You are always there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on, when I need help with anything, and when I just need a good laugh.

You inspire me every day to work my hardest and to be the kindest me I can be. I owe my whole career to you. You have always believed in me and done whatever you could so I could be happy doing what I love, and I am.

I never want to see you in pain and I never want to put pain upon you. You are my inspiration, my partner in crime, and my hero. I thank God every day for blessing me with the most amazing woman he could muster, one who is an inspiration to all.

You are empowering. You are strong, you are beautiful, and you are kind. I love you, mom. I love you more than anyone could ever imagine.

Love,
Jenna
