The work before the play: With pieces spread across the kitchen floor, Macaulay Culkin carefully followed the instructions as he assembled the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Double-Decker Hangout and Hideout for his sons, Dakota and Carson, in April 2026. “Just being a papa, living my best life,” the Home Alone star said. Daddy duty suits him well!

When Solange Knowles posted beautiful black-and-white photos of her close-cropped hair on Instagram in April 2026, her mom, Tina Knowles, was soon in the comments with a compliment — and an overshare. “You look like an Egyptian goddess, which is appropriate because you were conceived in a boat going down the Egyptian Nile,” wrote Tina. Although we’re guessing that Solange didn’t anticipate an anecdote involving her divorced parents’ sex life, she nonetheless hit the “like” button on her mom’s comment. Proof that even when you’re 39 years old, our mom can embarrass you … and you’ll put up with it, because she gave you life!

Bear-ing flowers: Jeremy Allen White made his typical weekly trip to his local farmer’s market in Los Angeles. “I just love going there," he said. "I like having flowers in my house. I like giving them to people.” The most adorable part? "I arrange them with my daughters on Sunday," the actor said of Ezer and Dolores. "It's a nice thing that we do.” Too cute!

“Further or closer? I can’t decide,” pondered Rita Ora, turning a mirror selfie into a veritable photo shoot in April 2026. Noting that she “hasn’t posted one of these thirst traps in a while,” the singer took advantage of Instagram’s carousel feature, posting four photos that move from closest to furthest. Problem solved.

Spring breakdown: Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin may be California locals, but the konked-out parents didn’t look the part when they took their sons, Dakota and Carson, to Legoland in Carlsbad, California, during spring break in April 2026. “We decided to get the guided tour,” revealed Culkin. “While on said tour we noticed that we were dressed like actual, real-life tourists, right down to the fanny pack, the soccer-mom visor, and Crocs.” Might as well lean in! “So rather than fight, it we decided to get into the swing of things and play the part,” explained the Home Alone actor. “We took pictures and selfies at the park’s landmarks. We got lost more than once. We took one of those 30-second naps on one of the benches. We truly felt like the out-of-towners.” Method actors … or just another pair of tired parents? We’ll accept both answers!

“Eyes are really tough to paint, guys — don’t judge me!” quipped Chrissy Teigen when sharing the results of her latest paint-by-numbers project to her Instagram followers in April 2026. The Paint by Frida kits have become part of Teigen’s life for years. “[The kits] have made me feel so happy whenever I have needed a sweet break or distraction,” said the “Self-Conscious With Chrissy Teigen” podcast host. “I think I bought every single paint kit from them (they do awesome artist collabs!), some I bought two or three times for my kids, too.”

A hair-raising situation. “Who else is in serious need of a Saturday?!” asked Jennie Garth in an April 2026 social media post that found her brushing her teeth. “No phone. No laptop. No deadlines. No questions. No decisions. No stress.” It was then she addressed her hair’s static-styling: “And yea…I woke up this way.” And here we thought the voltage level on her electric toothbrush was too high!

Daredevil dad! Sebastian Maniscalco got up to some high-flying antics at an indoor playground in April 2026. “Family time is important, but only for my kids would you catch me on a slide,” said the comedian. “I’ll be here icing my back for the next week.” Looks like the stand-up comedian might temporarily shift to “lie-down comedy.”

His early years are a mystery, but I think someone loved him very much. He prefers to hang out with my mom. He’s not superstitious.” And Shady also — quite clearly — likes getting affectionate with his owner!

Like many parents, Hilary Duff gets teased by her teen for being a bit technologically clueless.
