It might be difficult to believe, but the 2000s were 20 years ago. It was a remarkable time when people would spend nights at computer clubs, buy DVDs, and have their own rules of style. But it turns out that some things that we considered cool back then, now only bring a smile to our faces.
We at Bright Side feel a warm nostalgia about the ’00s and decided to tell our readers about the things that were insanely cool back then.
Stretch or multi-layered ceilings
Similar design ideas were considered a sign of prosperity in the ’00s. It was especially chic to install a glossy stretch ceiling or a multilayered ceiling made of plasterboard in an apartment. And strip lights around the room were a must. Ceilings had different colors, from calm white to bright blue or red.
Rhinestones in hair
Rhinestones or thin beads were glued to a thin thread, which was then attached to the roots of the hair. If a person didn’t have enough money to go to a hairdresser, they could simply purchase hairpins at the store. And the boldest fashionistas secured rhinestones directly onto their hair with the help of special glue. Now, hair accessories are in trend again. Thin rings adorn braids and all other kinds of hairstyles.
Replaceable cell phone back panels
If you could change the back and the front panels of your phone in a couple of seconds, you were considered the coolest person around. Manufacturers used to produce several models of back panels and sell them in a set with a mobile phone. And more models were available for purchase at different marketplaces. Of course, they weren’t the best quality, but the variety of colors and patterns was breathtaking.
Lipstick in the shade of your skin color
In the 2000s, fashionistas chose lipsticks that were either the shade of their skin color, or were a bit lighter. Nude lip-glosses, light beige, and white lipsticks were popular. And if you didn’t have enough money to buy beauty products, you could just cover your lips with your foundation to look gorgeous.
SMS TV chats
Text advertisements from viewers like, “I’m selling a garage,” that used to be broadcast at the bottom of TV screens, got replaced with SMS chats where young people communicated with each other or asked to broadcast their favorite music videos. Local channels realized that this trend was a gold mine and launched their own chats too. Guys there “were bored waiting for girls,” people sent birthday congratulations, and lonely hearts were looking for a soulmate.
“8 in 1” DVD disks
You could buy DVDs with a bunch of films recorded on one disk. These DVDs might contain both classic movies and recently released films that you could still see in the movies. Of course, these were bootleg DVDs that sometimes had a poor image quality or a voiceover translation that was done by a single person. But who cares when you can buy 8 movies for the price of one movie ticket!
Striped-knee socks
Put on striped knee-high socks and a pleated skirt and your fashionable look from the 2000s is ready. This trend was popularized by Avril Lavigne. And soon, young girls began to wear these socks not only on their feet, but also on their arms.
A singing fish on the wall
In the middle of the 2000s, this robotic singing fish was a bestseller. A similar thing was hanging on the wall in George Bush’s office and even appeared in the famous TV series The Sopranos. This device was invented by a former accountant, Joe Pellettieri. He sold more than a million copies of this thing in the year 2000 alone. You still can buy this fish nowadays.
iPod
In 2001, Apple released its first music player with 5 GB of memory that could play videos. Every middle school student dreamt of this device or of something very similar. In 2019, Apple released the 7th generation iPod.
Belt phone covers
These covers were especially popular among men who were over 35 years old. They were supposed to be fastened to the belt or to the loops in their trousers. The advantage of these covers was that a person was able to keep their phone far from their keys and coins, and always have it on hand. The disadvantage — scary stories about how mobile networks can harm men’s health.
Computer clubs
If you weren’t a lucky PC owner, you could go to a computer club. These clubs looked like a few raw of computers connected to a local network. Pupils skipped their lessons, spent their lunch money, and lied to their parents saying that they stayed late at their friends’ house just to be able to spend time there.
Cold blonde hair
Long straight blonde hair that was lighter than printer paper was in style. The most beautiful women had light lipstick and an intense fake tan. Cold blond hair, especially if the hair was dyed at home, was very harmful to their health. But who cared?

If your pet has a favorite toy, you know how much it means to them. Most likely, your pet spends a lot of time with the toy, plays with it, and protects it from other people, even if the thing is bigger than the pet itself. This is really moving. And if the toy breaks or something else happens to it, animals get really disappointed. It’s their treasure that they’re not willing to share with anyone, not even their owners.
We at Bright Side were really moved by the love and care our pets showed for their favorite toys. And in the bonus feature, you’ll see a story of one cat who grew up alongside its toy.
“How the cat I found reacted to the very first toy she had in her life”
“Almost 18 years old and still sleeping with the toy frog she’s had for 14 years!”
“My little puppy adores his frog.”
“For some reason, my dog chose a brick as her toy.”
This corgi loves his duct tape leftovers.
“Scribbles looking concerned as her favorite toy gets repaired”
“Maddie waiting patiently for her favorite toy to be fixed”
“Repaired his favorite toy and now he’s not only unsatisfied with it, but he’s also extremely upset. Sorry, Bruce!”
“My cat ripped open his favorite toy. This is my grandma sewing it back together.”
When your friend gets repaired:
Poor toys
“Seamus hates to leave Fingo behind.”
“So does Murphy!”
“I won’t give it to anyone!”
This is what doggy happiness looks like.
“My grandma’s dog and her toys — she has never torn one apart and my grandma washes them for her!”
“We were packing for a trip so Cecil brought his elephant and dropped it in.”
Bonus: How a cat grew up
When I was a child, I had a black cat named Bucks. In the summer, we took him to the countryside. There, he found his way around quite quickly and even made friends with a local cat gangster — a big ginger cat with a torn ear. At some point, my cat decided to show the gangster the most valuable things he had, which included his favorite toy. It was an old stuffed mouse. Back when he was a kitten, he got used to carrying it around anywhere he went but in the countryside, he always kept it at home. But this time, he decided to take it outside specifically. He threw the toy to the gangster cat and started showing off all the things he could do, like touch it with his paw, bite it, or hold it in its mouth. The gangster was watching all this and then he flinched his tail and left. Bucks was shocked. He looked at the cat, then at the toy, and then, probably thinking of something else, went to chase the gangster cat. The mouse was left outside. Even though we took it home later, he’s never played with it since. © Vangui / pikabu

The average age that people became parents in 2019 in the U.S. was 26.9 years old. However, one study found that older women end up having children with less emotional and social problems. Many celebrities, both male and female, often push back starting a family due to their demanding careers or other factors, and show us that babies can be a blessing at any age.
We at Bright Side are convinced that it’s never too late to welcome more love into your life and have a list of famous mature parents to support this claim.
1. Bruce Willis, 59 years old
The Die Hard star’s second marriage also gave him a second shot at being a father. Bruce has 2 daughters with his current wife, Emma Hemming. Their oldest, Mabel, was born in 2012, and their second girl, Evelyn, in 2014, which made Willis a father at 59.
The Hollywood actor also shares 3 grown-up daughters: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah with ex-wife Demi Moore.
2. Michael Douglas, 58 years old
Douglas’ youngest child, daughter Carys, whom he shares with Catherine Zeta-Jones, was born in 2003 when the famous actor was 58 years old. The couple also welcomed son Dylan 3 years earlier. The family seems very close and it looks like Michael’s age doesn’t affect their happiness.
The actor also has son, Cameron (b. 1978), from his first marriage with Diandra Luker.
3. Jeff Goldblum, 65 years old
Goldblum became a father for the very first time at 63, with his third wife Emilie Livingston. 2 years later, the couple had their second child making the Jurassic Park star a daddy again at 65.
The actor masterfully embraces being a mature parent: “I’m glad I waited. It feels great to do it right now, because all the things I’m considering are perfectly suited to the big questions and challenges of having kids, and what you want to expose them to. What you want to leave them with, what life is, and what kind of life you contribute to them.”
4. Madonna, 59 years old
The famous singer is a mother of 6 and only 2 of them are her biological children. She gave birth to her firstborn, Lourdes, in 1996 at the age of 38 and welcomed her son Rocco 4 years later. Her maternal instinct was too strong for just 2 children and she then adopted kids David and Mercy from Malawi in 2006 and 2009 respectively.
In 2017, Madonna completed her family by adopting 2 more girls from Malawi: twin sisters Estere and Stella. She was 59 years old at the time.
5. Angela Bassett, 48 years old
Actress Angela Bassett and her husband Courtney B. Vance have been married since 1997. They had experienced problems with conception for a while before deciding to work with a surrogate. Bassett became a mom at 48 in 2006, when her twins Slater and Bronwyn were born.
For Angela’s husband it was also a late parenthood as he was 46 at the time. We’re sure that at the end, the long wait was worth it.
6. Simon Cowell, 55 years old
The talent competition show titan was so busy building his career for most of his life that his personal affairs had to wait until Simon was in his fifties. Cowell’s girlfriend Lauren Silverman gave birth to his first son in 2014.
Simon and his son Eric are also working on a 7 book series titled Wishfits. The story will revolve around “a world where the most unusual animals exist. The WISHFITS are magical, unusual, and have evolved in a weird and wonderful way, combining 2 different species to form hybrid animals with very distinct characteristics!”
7. John Stamos, 55 years old
The famous actor held off until the age of 55 before starting a family. Stamos was almost ready to give up on having a wife and a kid, but then he met his current wife Caitlin. He said: “I thought it was beyond me... but it’s given me a reason to live.” Their son Billy was born in 2018.
Overall, fatherhood is a blessing for John: “Every second you pray that you can keep the kid alive. Every day is different, time has become very elusive, stuff just goes by so fast. It’s just beautiful. I’ve cried most days. I just stare at him.”
8. Alanis Morissette, 45 years old
Morissette is a mother of 3 and she welcomed her third child, son Winter, in 2019. She shares her other 2 children, son Ever and daughter Onyx, with husband Mario Treadway.
The famous singer once opened up about struggling with postpartum depression, but it didn’t keep her from having one more baby. She allowed herself the space to cope with those issues surrounded by her loving family.
9. Andy Cohen, 51 years old
The Watch What Happens Live! host became a father for the first time in 2019. His son Benjamin was born with the help of a surrogate, which made him a happy daddy at 51.
Cohen always wanted to be a father and chose surrogacy to make his dream comes true. He once said the following, shortly before meeting his son: “Family means everything to me and having one of my own is something I’ve wanted in my heart for my entire life and while it has taken me longer than most to get there, I cannot wait for what I envision will be my most rewarding chapter yet.”
10. Viola Davis, 45 years old
The Oscar-winning actress adopted a baby girl in 2011 with her husband Julius Tennon. Genesis became Viola’s first and, so far, only child. The How to Get Away with Murder star once said that the “acting bug bit” her daughter, so we should look out for her rising talents.
Davis is also a stepmother to her husband’s 2 children, a son and a daughter, from previous relationships.
11. Alec Baldwin, 60 years old
After marrying Hilaria Thomas in 2012, Alec Baldwin’s life got a new beginning. So far, the couple has had 4 children together and is expecting their fifth one. If all goes well, the actor might become a dad once again at 62.
Baldwin also has a 24-year-old daughter, Ireland, from his marriage with actress Kim Basinger.
12. Brigitte Nielsen, 54 years old
Nielsen rocked the world when she gave birth to her fifth child, a baby girl, in 2018 at the age of 54. The actress carried her daughter by herself and was delighted to welcome a healthy bundle of joy.
Like many other mature parents, Brigitte sees her age as an advantage: “I’ve been through the hurdles of my life. I’ve seen the good and the bad. When I fell down, I got up again. I’ve become a stronger person. I have more energy than when I was younger. And I’m much more thoughtful and prepared.”

Celebrities are divided into 2 groups — those who follow fashion trends and those who set them. The latter group consists of fewer celebs, but they’ll always be remembered as fashion pioneers.
We at Bright Side tried to remember the most striking and sometimes crazy trends that became popular thanks to celebrities.
Brigitte Bardot — off-the-shoulder tops
Women started to show their shoulders in the middle of the nineteenth century. But modern off-the-shoulder tops have become trendy thanks to the famous Brigitte Bardot. A provocative blouse that reminds one of lingerie became one of the actress’s signature looks. And off-the-shoulder tops, in their various styles, can be found in the wardrobe of almost every girl.
Madonna — low-rise pants
Despite the fact that Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger had worn low-rise pants (bumpers) before, this provocative trend became a hit in the late ’90s and early ’00s thanks to the designer Alexander McQueen and the singer Madonna. In 1994, McQueen shocked the public with his show, during which the models appeared on the runway wearing trousers with an obscenely low rise, and Madonna made this trend a world-wide sensation. After Madona appeared in an advertisement in 1994 while wearing low-rise pants, this type of clothing became popular around the world.
Kate Moss — leopard print
In the ’90s, whatever the famous rebel Kate Moss was wearing became a fashion trend almost immediately. The same thing happened with scandalous leopard print. There’s a reason why people call Kate the “Queen of Leopard Print.” She knows how to combine this print with colors and textures that seem unsuitable at first sight, and yet, she always looks gorgeous.
Paris Hilton — velour tracksuits
Sportswear has long left fitness centers and moved onto the streets. And we can’t deny the role Paris Hilton played in this trend. Thanks to this iconic blonde, velour tracksuits have become one of the main fashion trends of the ’00s and a signature style of the whole generation.
Britney Spears — visible thongs
Visible thongs were one of the biggest — and presumably the most provocative — style of the ’00s. This trend started with the Gucci fashion show where models walked on the runway with their thong straps sticking out above their clothes. Many celebrities picked up this style, but Brintey Spears contributed to the popularity of this trend the most, making thongs a part of her stage outfits.
Rihanna — shoes with socks
Women wore heels with socks in the last century, but they did it mostly for practical reasons. When tights became popular, this habit completely outlived itself and even became considered an antitrend. But a couple of years ago, Rihanna breathed new life into it. The singer boldly combines bright socks with designer shoes. She once wore white mules with Gucci socks that cost $1,340.
Kim Kardashian — contouring
Contrary to popular belief, this TV star wasn’t the creator of contouring — this makeup technique appeared long before Kim Kardashian. But it was the reality star who made this trend wide-spread. This selfie that was taken back in 2012 forever changed the idea of makeup.
Jennifer Aniston — Rachel’s hairstyle
The hairstyle, named after the character of the iconic Friends TV series, became a prominent symbol of the ’90s. Aniston appeared wearing her new hairstyle in the twentieth episode of the show. The actress’s stylist decided that she needed to change her image up a bit, and he was right because after the series was released, all fashionistas of that time wanted to get “the Rachel.” It’s interesting to learn that Aniston actually hated this hairstyle. She once said, “I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen.”
Brigitte Bardot — smokey eyes
We can thank Brigitte Bardot for our favorite smokey eye makeup. Of course, such makeup had already existed long before this actress started wearing it but it was she who caused a small beauty revolution in the 1960s. While most fashionistas of that time were using eyeliner, Bardot proudly wore blurred eyeshadows on her eyelids that looked like she’d forgotten to take off her makeup from the night before.
Bella Hadid — a half-unbuttoned cardigan worn on a naked body
Until recently, a cardigan was considered a purely conservative clothing item and was associated with a “grandmother’s style.” But Bella Hadid radically changed this perception by wearing a cardigan on her naked body. Many girls fell in love with this bold style and this obsolete piece of clothing got a new life.
Jennifer Beals — one-shoulder sweatshirts
Showing off a little bit of shoulder in a sweatshirt was a popular look of the 1980s and actress Jennifer Beals created it by accident for the movie Flashdance. The sweatshirt, which she had brought from home, shrunk in the wash and the neckband had to be cut off so it would fit over the actress’s head.
Brigitte Bardot — ballet shoes
Yes, fashion owes a lot to Bardot. In 1956, entrepreneur Rose Repetto designed a ballet shoe at the request of Brigitte Bardot, called the “Cendrillon,” meaning “Cinderella” in French. The actress wore the shoes on the set of And God Created Woman, the film that made her a sex symbol around the world, and also in her free time. Bardot even appeared on the red carpet in Cannes with her ballet flats, popularizing the trend once and for all.

We tend to think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, as a study suggests, this isn’t necessarily true. In fact, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Standards of attractiveness are, indeed, broadly shared, however, our personal preferences play quite a big role too.
We at Bright Side decided to dive deeper into this topic and find out what features in people we consider more appealing without even realizing it.
1. Pupils
The pupils change their size in response to emotions, becoming bigger when we’re happy. Some studies showed that we subconsciously consider people with large pupils more attractive because it indicates their mutual interest in us. In the past, Italian women purposefully dilated their pupils using a poisonous extract from the belladonna plant to appear more attractive to male suitors.
2. Proportion of the waist
The waist’s proportion to the hips has always been considered one of the most important features in a woman’s appearance. And as some research shows, the lower the waist-hip ratio is, the more attractive a woman seems to a man.
3. Face symmetry
Researchers have confirmed that we rate symmetrical faces as more attractive than those with less symmetry because our visual receptors can process them much easier. Another reason for this is that we biologically associate symmetrical faces with good genes.
4. Averageness
As a study suggests, we prefer an appearance that looks more average to us. And this can have different explanations: either we link it with biological advantages such as good genes, or our brains simply prefer more typical faces.
5. Diet
There’s a small study that shows food preferences can actually make a man more attractive to a woman. The smell of men who recently ate fruits and vegetables was considered way more preferable over men who mostly ate food like bread and pasta.
6. Voice
According to research, women associate men’s lower voices with maturity, thus considering it more attractive.
7. Smell
A woman’s scent can actually affect how attractive they seem to men. But this is true for a particular smell: the one that’s based on women’s reproductive hormones. As research shows, women are much more appealing to men during the stage of ovulation because the level of hormones at this time is higher in the middle of the cycle, indicating their fertility.
8. Taste
When we kiss, we exchange a lot of bacteria, and this, as studies show, has some practical meaning too. It helps us to find out whether we’re a good match with this particular person. So the way a person tastes can really make him or her more or less attractive to us.

We often perceive security guards as extremely serious people, who are unable to crack even a tiny smile. If you only knew how wrong those stereotypes are and how interesting the representatives of this profession are in real life.
In the vast landscape of the internet, Bright Side came across 19 stories about security guards that’ll boost your mood from 0 to 100 within a couple of seconds. There is a bonus waiting for you at the end that will show you the thought process each of us has gone through at least once while visiting a cosmetics shop.
When entering our office building in the morning, I noticed that our security guard had gotten a tablet. He was sitting, looking quite serious, awkwardly pressing a 10-inch-screen. My thought was that he wouldn’t feel bored anymore because he would be able to watch TV series, play games, and use all the other benefits of the internet. When I looked closer, I realized that nothing had changed — he was now doing crosswords on the tablet. © LLIauTaH / Pikabu
My mom, who works as a hairdresser, has just told me there is a nice security guard in their salon. She often trims his brows for free, while he gives her a pile of candy as gratitude. © _tomato_hater / Twitter
A security guard at the mall I work in just came up to me and said I’d better close my trading spot after the new year. All because he sees how things have been going at my end, that there are no buyers, and that it can hardly be called business after all. © Karnero / Pikabu
Happy workdays of a retail associate: our new security guard told our manager that I don’t smile enough. So I spent the whole next day smiling like the Joker. The new security guard approached the manager again and asked that I stop smiling so much. © Wizard_Severus / Twitter
So, I am roaming around the supermarket picking up products but without a cart or a basket. 2 security guards come up to me, grab my arms, and begin to escort me somewhere. Suddenly I hear someone shouting through their walkie-talkie, “Not this one, dumbos!” © AvengedS / Pikabu
The security guard in a mall rejected my request to keep my bag full of KFC chicken wings at the reception desk at the entrance, saying, “Please don’t do it. It’s my 8th hour of work. Your chicken wings won’t be here when you return.” © allls / Pikabu
I went outside for 5 minutes to breathe fresh air and the security guard says, “You should get married instead of working so hard in the office.” Me, “I’m divorced.” The security guard, “Well that means you no longer need to get married, actually.” So we hung out the rest of the time, standing silently, and thinking. That’s true, I have already been there — that’s enough. © moonredstage / Twitter
I thought I looked good until the moment a security guard in a supermarket suspected me of stealing 150g of salad. © almost_bergman / Twitter
It’s quite offensive when a security guard stops you and asks, “Hey man, what is that protruding from under your jacket?” In fact, it’s my tummy... © c921ym178 / Pikabu
We entered a store and the metal detector started to go off. The security guard asks me, “What are you carrying in your bag?” Me, “A phone and money.” The guard, “Hmmm, I wonder why they magnetize so much...” Me, “Perhaps because I am too attractive.” My friend *pretends as if she is not with me* © zabuivchivaya / Twitter
I was on my way home from work yesterday and carrying a medium-sized bag. At the entrance to the subway, there is a female security guard who asks me to put my bag on the x-ray area. So I put the bag down and say, “There were 2 people with big backpacks in front of me, why didn’t you demand to check their bags, but asked to check my bag, which is much smaller?” She answers, “They were wearing earphones.” © koem / Pikabu
So I am sitting in the waiting room at the dentist’s office, looking at my phone. A security guard comes in and asks the visitors whose Audi is parked at the entrance. No one responds. Since I was sitting a bit further from everyone, he comes up to me and says, “Hey man, is that your Audi?” I raise my head, he looks at me, and says, “Nope, it’s not yours. An Audi requires good earnings,” and walks away. © Lobotomist / Pikabu
So I go into a supermarket in the morning. Everything is silent around me. There are tons of goods, but no people and no security. I got a full basket of products, went to the cashier, and started to wait. No one appeared. I whistled. A sleepy security guard comes from his room and says that the store is closed, it’s just the door that is open. © vadjan89 / Twitter
A security guard from our block of apartments presented me with a disk. I started to watch it, it has 3 GB of the elevator’s camera’s recordings where I am dancing. I feel shy to leave my home now. © aLookInside / Pikabu
I often make jokes that the clothes I wear look like the clothes of a homeless person. But today this prank got out of control, because the new security guard didn’t want to let me enter the office. He said, “Go away, vagabond, this is private property.” © hxmebxy / Twitter

And all of this may be even harder for celebrity parents—not only do they have to take care of 2 babies, but they also have to fulfill their commitments in front of the camera.
Bright Side would like to present you with a selection of 10 celebrity parents who have twins and seem really proud to have them.
1. Jennifer Lopez
Max and Emme are 12 years old and they are the result of the relationship between 2 singers: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. These kids have shown that they’ve inherited their famous parents’ talents. In addition to her beautiful voice, Emme plays the ukulele and is passionate about fashion and design. Her brother is more low-key though, but he has a voice that’s as gorgeous as his sister’s and has made it clear during their school plays. Their proud mother always posts pictures and videos of her beloved children on her social media accounts.
2. Beyoncé
Sir and Rumi are the twins of singers Beyoncé and Jay-Z. We met them as soon as they were born, thanks to a spectacular photo shoot. Now they’re almost 3 years old and we haven’t seen their little faces that often, because Beyoncé only shares pictures of them facing away from the camera. Back then, the couple hired around 6 nannies, because Sir and Rumi didn’t normally sleep at the same time.
3. Madonna
Madonna’s twin daughters Estere and Stelle were born on August 24, 2012, in Malawi. Raised in an orphanage, they were 4 years old when the pop legend adopted them in 2017. Madonna has lots of photos with her little treasures, and even made them an Instagram account, which she manages herself. The twins kept their birth names as a way to honor their roots.
4. Chris Hemsworth
The Australian actor is the father of 6-year-old twins Tristan and Sasha, who are the result of his relationship with actress Elsa Pataky. Just like a lot of celebrities, their parents decided to not expose their children’s faces on social media to preserve their privacy. For that reason, whenever we see them in a picture, they appear facing backward. The family moved from Los Angeles to Byron Bay, Australia, to raise the twins and their older sister close to nature and away from big cities.
5. Céline Dion
9-year-old Eddy and Nelson are the children of the famous singer Céline Dion and her late husband, René Angélil. When the twins were just newborns, Dion said, “I’m not sleeping at all. It’s amazing how we are able to survive without sleeping.” She was also happy with her little boys’ good health. The Canadian star confessed that her husband’s death in 2016 affected her deeply, so she turned to her sons, who comforted her during those very hard times.
6. Sarah Jessica Parker
The American actress is the mother of 10-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion. Their father is actor Matthew Broderick, and the couple used a surrogate to have their daughters. It’s normal to see pictures of Parker taking them to school, but they rarely go to celebrity events with her mother. However, the 3 of them were recently seen together at the New York City Ballet’s Fall Fashion Gala. Their outfits, with floral patterns, and their little purses proved that the girls have inherited their famous mother’s good taste and sense of style.
7. Mariah Carey
Twins Moroccan and Monroe were born in April of 2011 and changed the superstar’s life forever. They enjoy each other’s company and usually join their mother on her tours. Carey sees a little diva in her daughter—she even calls her Miss Monroe. Correspondingly, the little girl is following in her mother’s glamorous footsteps: it’s not unusual to see her with her mother at the spa, where she also receives manicure and pedicure treatments. On the other hand, Moroccan has a more reserved attitude and seems to be leaning toward music.
8. Zoe Saldana
The American actress, who became famous thanks to her role in Avatar, is the mother of the Perego-Saldana twins: Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio. They were born on November 27, 2014. Zoe encourages her children to speak Spanish and English, just like she did during her childhood since she was raised in the US and the Caribbean. She also confessed that, at first, she was afraid that being a mother of twins may overwhelm her. But she’s very happy now, and she’s said that the kids help her manage her time more efficiently.
9. Julie Bowen
In May 2009, the then 40-year-old actress gave birth to twins John and Gus. Bowen jokingly said, “I wanted a baby, not 2!” After having her first son, Oliver, she had always intended to have more kids. However, she wasn’t ready for a double dose. She said she experienced some uncertainty after finding out she was going to have twins, but now she is amazed at her own ability to take care of her family and always be there to meet their needs.
10. Patrick Dempsey
On February 2007, twins Sullivan and Darby were born to American actor and racecar driver Patrick Dempsey and celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist Jillian Fink. Even though he admitted that, initially, he felt overwhelmed by the idea of having twins, his concerns quickly vanished as soon as he met them. When his children were only a few days old, Dempsey mentioned that he couldn’t wait to take them for a ride on the race track. Now they are 13 and they join their dad whenever they get the chance.
