Preferred term

celebrity motherhood  

Definition

  • Celebrities are those who have achieved fame as film and television personalities, athletes, musicians, politicians, models, and the like, as well as those increasingly ubiquitous figures from the late 20th century on who are, in Daniel Boorstin's terms, simply known for being famous. Celebrities who are also mothers or mothers-to-be have become, since the 1980s and more insistently in the new millennium, a cultural obsession.
