Date Or Dump These Hollywood Moms And We'll Guess If You've Got Game!
In 2015, Christian Rudder, the co-founder of dating site OKCupid, published his research on what men look for in women. To no one's surprise -- but to many older women's disappointment -- the data showed that men from as young as 20 to as old as 50 find women to be most attractive when they're between the ages of 20 to 23. And because most women bear children at the average age of 25, that means that the average mom isn't at her most attractive.
However, a Hollywood mom isn't your average mom. Hollywood moms have much more money and lead easier lives, and thus, are able to take care of themselves much better. The result? Celebrities who are staying hot way into their 30s, sometimes into their 40s, and a few times, even into their 50s. That's great, of course. But there's also a downside to that: several Hollywood moms think that they're still hot and like to show off a lot of skin and act like they're young and all, when in truth, they're no longer hot and are actually kind of disgusting. Worse, there are some guys who can't even tell the difference between a Hollywood mom who's hot and a Hollywood mom who's not.
Date or dump these Hollywood moms, and we'll tell you if you've got game or if you're just lame.
Elin Nordegren
Elin Nordegren is mostly known for being the ex-wife of the former #1 golfer in the world Tiger Woods. She was actually a nanny to the children of Jesper Parnevik when Woods was enamored by her and begged to meet her. Eventually, the two fell in love and were married in 2004, the couple producing two children, a girl and a boy. When the couple's divorce was finalized, Elin was awarded $100 million. She used $12 million of that to buy a Florida mansion.
Reese Witherspoon
It shouldn't be all that surprising that Reese is now 41. After all, she made her professional screen debut as a 15-year-old in "The Man in the Moon," and she was already 25 when she played her breakthrough role as Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde." Today, her eldest daughter with Ryan Phillippe is already 18. She has two other children, both boys, one aged 14 (also with Phillippe) and the other aged 5 (with second husband Jim Toth).
Angelina Jolie
42-year-old Angelina Jolie has certainly been through a lot in recent years. In 2013 and 2015, she decided to undergo a double mastectomy and an oophorectomy, respectively, to prevent cancer. Then, in 2016, she separated from Brad Pitt, her third husband with whom she has three natural and three adopted children. Various media outlets have repeatedly named her the world's most beautiful and sexiest woman, but what do you think?
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez may have really begun making a name for herself playing Selena in 1997, but it was by playing the late singer that she was able to find an audience for her music. Her singles "If You Had My Love," "Waiting for Tonight," and "Love Don't Cost a Thing" were huge hits, contributing to her being regarded as the most influential Hispanic singer in America. In 2008, her marriage with singer Marc Anthony (her third husband) resulted in the birth of twins, a boy and a girl. However, the couple divorced in 2014, and 48-year-old Jenny from the Block is currently dating Alex Rodriguez.
Kate Hudson
If you're a band vocalist, it appears that you have a much better chance of scoring a date with 38-year-old Kate Hudson. She was once married to The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson and also had a child with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy. On the business side of things, in 2013, Hudson co-founded Fabletics, a brand of activewear. Today, the company rakes in an annual revenue of more than $250 million.
Heidi Klum
This 44-year-old mother of four may have gained her fame as the first German model to be selected as a Victoria's Secret Angel, but today, she's doing much more than just modeling. She won an Emmy in 2013 as the host of Project Runway and is now hosting America's Got Talent. In fact, the German citizen, who was formerly married to singer Seal, is much more of a businesswoman than a model these days. Nevertheless, she's stayed very much in shape through bike-riding, hiking, and trampoline-jumping.
Jennifer Garner
Now that 45-year-old Jennifer Garner is divorced from Ben Affleck, you might be hoping that you have a chance to score with her. But don't get your hopes up. Aside from the fact that she probably won't like you, she's also reportedly vowed to remain chaste for the remainder of her life. Jen has said that she would rather focus on raising her three children.
Katie Holmes
After achieving fame for playing Joey Potter on Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003, Katie Holmes managed to gain the attention of Tom Cruise. At that time, he was one of Hollywood's most sought-after bachelors, and soon after the couple had their child, Suri, they were wed in a Scientologist ceremony. However, the marriage lasted only six years and ended in quite a messy divorce. Holmes, currently 38, is dating the multi-talented Jamie Foxx.
Gwen Stefani
When it comes to her love life, it seems that Gwen Stefani sticks to her fellow musicians. During her No Doubt days, she dated bandmate Tony Kanal. Then, sometime after they broke up, she dated and ended up marrying Gavin Rossdale, with whom she had three sons. After that marriage ended in divorce, Stefani then found herself dating fellow The Voice judge country music artist Blake Shelton. She's now 48 years old and has three children.
Cate Blanchett
48-year-old actress Cate Blanchett recently made the news when she stated that looking sexy shouldn't be considered an invitation to... well... you know. This mother of four and multiple Oscar winner has been married to screenwriter Andrew Upton since 1997, which is pretty impressive for someone in Hollywood. But if she weren't happily married, would you date or dump this Thor: Ragnarok star?
Halle Berry
It might be hard to believe, but Halle Berry is now 51 years old. She began making a name for herself when she finished in second place at the Miss USA Pageant in 1986. Then, in 1992, she starred in Boomerang, which led to several other important movie roles, including the one in Monster's Ball (2001), for which she became the only black woman to ever win the Best Actress Oscar. She has two children, has been married thrice, and is now dating music producer Alex da Kid.
Bridget Moynahan
Some people might know 46-year-old actress Bridget Moynahan better as the mother of a child with American football superstar Tom Brady. The two were in a relationship from 2004 to 2006, their child delivered by Moynahan in August of 2007. She's made a name for herself through modeling and acting. She played Natasha in several episodes of Sex and the City. Bridget has also been married to businessman Andrew Frankel since 2015, but if she were single, would you date her or dump her?
Uma Thurman
Not many people can claim to have their name as the title of a hit song, but Uma Thurman achieved just that with Fall Out Boy's 2015 hit, which was certified 2x platinum. The song references her dancing, and indeed, we can hardly forget her dance sequence with John Travolta in Pulp Fiction (1994). Today, she's 47 years old, has been married twice, and has three children with Ethan Hawke (a son and a daughter) and Arpad Busson (a daughter). She's also being called to speak out on the sexual harassment issues of Harvey Weinstein, whom she worked with for Kill Bill (2003-2004) and Pulp Fiction.
Britney Spears
After everything we've seen Britney Spears go through, it's a bit hard to believe she's still only 35. However, we have to remember that she was just 10 when we were acquainted with her in the Mickey Mouse Club. And even if you first heard of her when "...Baby One More Time" broke out, she was just 18 at the time. Today, Britney has been married twice (including a 55-hour marriage to a childhood friend) and has had two children. Her Las Vegas show, Britney: Piece of Me, has also been announced to be performed as a world tour, Britney: Live in Concert.
Michelle Williams
Not to be confused with the former Destiny's Child member, Michelle Williams was the wife of the late Heath Ledger, with whom she was married from 2004 until 2007 and with whom she has a daughter. She also dated director Spike Jonze from 2008 to 2009. Acting-wise, she starred on Dawson's Creek (1998-2003) and earned acclaim for her work on Blue Valentine (2010), My Week with Marilyn (2011), and Manchester by the Sea (2016). Williams has also been the subject of lesbian rumors due to her close friendship with Busy Phillips, who was her date at the 2012 Academy Awards.
Victoria Beckham
When female celebrities get married and have children, their popularity usually dips a bit, but this wasn't the case for Posh Spice of the Spice Girls. When she was wed to football superstar David Beckham in 1999 and became more commonly known as "Victoria Beckham," she saw her popularity and recognizability soar. She's no longer very active in the music biz, instead focusing on her role as mother to four beautiful children and on her career as a style icon. Her bi-annual New York Fashion Week show is among the event's hottest tickets.
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek began her career starring in telenovelas in Mexico. Her success inspired her to move to Hollywood, where she gained fame by starring in movies, including Desperado (1995) and Wild Wild West (1999). In 2002, she earned respect as a serious actress after she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Frida. She's been married to French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault since 2009, and they have a daughter together.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sure, she's had other roles, but to most people, Sarah Jessica Parker will always be Carrie Bradshaw. She played the role on Sex and the City for 6 years from 1998 to 2004. There were even movies of the show released in 2008 and 2010. Now 52 years old and still wife to Matthew Broderick, whom she married in 1997, Parker has three children and has been starring in the successful HBO series Divorce since 2016.
Kelly Ripa
In 2014, Kelly Ripa was named by The Hollywood Reporter as one of the most powerful people in media, and it's not hard to see why. Aside from portraying Hayley Vaughan on All My Children from 1990 to 2002, she's also been a talk show host and is the co-owner of a New York production company named "Milojo." The other owner is her husband, Mark Consuelos, whom Ripa has been married to since 1996. The two have three children, two boys and a girl.
Brooke Shields
At the tender age of 12, Brooke Shields gained acclaim as an actress after playing the role of a child prostitute in Pretty Baby (1978). Of course, it's also hard to forget her in The Blue Lagoon (1980), which further earned her notoriety as an underage sex symbol. Later, in 2005, she was embroiled in a war of words with actor Tom Cruise, the controversy stemming from their opposing beliefs on antidepressant drugs, which Shields believed was beneficial in some cases. Today, she's 52 years old and is married to Chris Henchy, the couple sharing two kids. Before that, Brooke was married to tennis star Andre Agassi from 1997 to 1999.
Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling has always received flack for getting her foot into the door of the acting world by being cast as Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, which was produced by her father, Aaron Spelling. And really, it's difficult not to make light of her acting career, as she's never really starred in anything that's gained her considerable critical acclaim. Today, she's 44 years old and is married to second husband Dean McDermott, with whom she has five children. Their relationship began with both of them cheating on their spouses, and to hardly anyone's surprise, McDermott ended up cheating on Tori, too.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba was only 19 when she was picked by James Cameron to play Max Guevara on Dark Angel in 2000. Her performance in it was critically acclaimed, earning her a Golden Globe nomination. However, in 2005, she was nominated for a Razzie Award for worst actress for her roles in Fantastic Four and Into the Blue. She was also nominated for the same award in 2007. Nevertheless, she seems to remain happily married to Cash Warren, with whom she has two children, a third being carried by the 36-year-old actress.
Nicole Kidman
Winning an Oscar is usually a high point for an actor, but according to 50-year-old Nicole Kidman, her 2003 Best Actress Oscar for The Hours didn't really make her very happy. She said it was probably because she didn't have anyone to share the award with at the time. However, today, she seems to be happily married to country singer Keith Urban, with whom she has two daughters. When Kidman was married to Tom Cruise, they adopted a son and a daughter.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock has had quite an acting career. She truly got a lot of people's attention in Demolition Man (1993) and Speed (1994), then ramped up her status in Hollywood with one hit movie after another, including While You Were Sleeping (1995), Miss Congeniality (2000), and The Blind Side (2009), for which she won an Oscar. In 2015, People magazine named her the Most Beautiful Woman. She was married to Jesse James in 2005, but the two divorced in 2010 after James was exposed to have had affairs with several women. Bullock, now 53, has two adopted children.
Katherine Heigl
To fans of Grey's Anatomy, which ran from 2005 to 2010, Katherine Heigl will always be Izzie Stevens. It was for this role that, in 2007, she received an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Heigl has also enjoyed success on the big screen with hits like Knocked Up (2007), 27 Dresses (2008), and New Year's Eve (2011). She's been married to singer Josh Kelley since 2007, and they have two adopted daughters and a natural son.
