Mama Bear

Aguilera appears alongside 10-year-old son Max — whose father is her ex-husband, Jordan Bratman — and 3-year-old daughter Summer Rain, with fiancé Matthew Rutler. Her little girl sits on her lap as her older child smiles and rests his head on Mom’s shoulder. The “Genie in a Bottle” singer, 37, said of parenting, “I love being mama bear and providing support, strength, and a safe haven to my babies and loved ones, knowing that, above all else, it’s the most important job I have.”

Daddy Duties

The 41-year-old rapper looks like a typical dad in his photo with daughter North, 5, and son Saint, 2, whom he shares with wife Kim Kardashian. His eldest sits atop his shoulders with her arms wrapped around his neck as West cradles his little fella. Notably absent from the photo is the couple’s 6-month-old daughter, Chicago. West’s dreams for his kids seem to echo his own. “I hope my children never lose their confidence to society,” he told the magazine.

Spitting Image

The Springsteens know how to nail a cover. “My best advice to my daughter: Keep your focus on what you really care about,” the 68-year-old rocker said.

Support System

Lionel Richie shares the spotlight with daughter Nicole Richie. “I wish for my kids to discover who they are and explore their passions to the fullest,” the 69-year-old singer told Harper’s Bazaar. Meanwhile, daughter Sofia Richie does not appear in the spread.

Sister, Sister

The nearly identical Richards siblings — their father is Keith Richards — told the magazine about their unique family dynamic: “We are a traveling band of gypsies, this bunch. With everyone’s crazy lives, it makes for great stories around the fireplace. Music, dancing and laughter fill our home, and we make it so we’re never apart for too long.”
