Mother’s Day this year was fraught with even more challenges than normal.

For some, it’s glorious. But for others, it’s a day that reminds them of their infertility, or their broken relationship with their own mum. Or it’s a painful reminder that their mum is no longer here. Or their children are no longer here.

Now let’s add COVID-19 on top of that for all the mums whowantedto celebrate, but couldn’t physically be with their children (or mothers), thanks to this crazy world we’re living in.

WATCH: Are you homeschooling thanks to COVID-19? Now THAT’S a Mother’s Day gift you will remember. Post continues after video.

Thank goodness for social media, hey? Because if there was one thing that you could do yesterday, it was upload a tribute to Instagram in honour of your mum, and thankfully for our enjoyment, many of our favourite celebrities did just that.

Here’s how everyone celebrated:

Liam Hemsworth.

Liam posted a throwback photo of him and his mum from when he was a baby.

Leonie Hemsworth has three sons – Liam, Chris and Luke.

Chris also posted a photo with his mum, and his wife Elsa Pataky, who is mum to their three children.

“To all the incredible mums out there, we salute you,” he wrote in the caption.

Elsa and Chris have an eight-year-old daughter, India Rose, and twin six-year-old sons, Tristan and Sasha.

Hamish Blake.

The comedian and TV presenter paid tribute to his wife Zoe, mother of their children Sonny, six, and Rudy, two.

“Our total babe hero mum. Whether quietly thinking of a million things that keep our family running (pictured), or being the most brilliant woman I know (pictured), or just being a total 15/10 smoke show (pictured) or just holding our daughter while you both think about cake (pictured), I never don’t feel like the luckiest man on earth to have a front row seat to your mumming,” he wrote.

“Screenshots,” wrote Zoe in a comment.

On her own page, she wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day, mums! You’re terrific, you know that? I’m your biggest fan. Don’t make me come over there and hug you. I’ll get into trouble with the coppers,” next to some more snaps from their son’s birthday celebrations over the weekend.

Megan Gale.

“What a blessing, an honour, and a huge learning experience it is to be a Mother,” the model wrote next to a black and white photo of her kids.

Megan and her husband Shaun Hampson have River, five, and Rosie, two.
