There are two kinds of celebrity parents on social media: the super-curated, professional photography, Insta-is-a-business crowd, and the more relatable, “they’re just like us” accounts. (Okay, it’s all curated, but some celebs are really good at making themselves seem relatable anyway, right?) There’s room for everyone, but some days you just want to know that even Academy Award-winning actors are driving a minivan full of crushed Cheerios and empty juice boxes. We’ve got you covered—here’s a list of famous parents you won’t hate following on Instagram.

2. Kristen Bell
Sometimes, motherhood is beautiful. Other times, you end up reluctantly homeschooling your children while they treat you like their own personal jungle gym. It’s called balance.

6. Busy Philipps
Busy Philipps is that cool, moody, artsy friend who turned into the cool mom you wanted to hang out with. We love how supportive she is of her daughters’ individuality and expression (plus how she’s maintained her own!).

Moana showed us a softer side of Dwayne Johnston, but he’s been a proud dad for years. Now the father of three daughters, The Rock is all about that dad life and can work a detangling brush like a pro.

9. Serena Williams
Relatable? Not so much. But a world-class athlete and businesswoman with a sense of humour, killer fashion and a genuine love for motherhood? Serena is unmatched (just ask her husband, aka ultimate Wife Guy Alexis Ohanian).

10. Chrissy Teigen
Arguably the most and least relatable celeb on social media, it’s hard not to love Chrissy Teigen. She’s honest and unfiltered, and her love for her family is clearly evident.
