The couple, who tied the knot in March, also posed for a topless photo shoot to celebrate their expanding family.

Check out other ways Hollywood celebrated Mother's Day below.

Kate Hudson

The actress, who is expecting her third child, gave a touching tribute to her "great teacher," mom and Oscar winner Goldie Hawn.

When you grow up with a smile like this you are raised to find the joy in every moment. Raised to find the laughter in sometimes the most difficult circumstances and raised to share deep connections that fill our hearts with love and all the good things that nurture our soul. I know I feel the kind of freedom to love because of her. I know I feel the kind of strength to live fearlessly because of her. I know that I have never feared paving my own path because of her. I know I feel deeply unconditionally loved because of her. I also know that every mother is capable to give this to their children. She taught me that the love of mothers shape the future. Not through expectations but through love and honoring your children’s individual journey. To my great teacher, Happy Mothers Day. And to all of you other great teacher out there, Happy Mothers Day ??

Anne Hathaway

The Oscar winner posted a throwback photo of her mother, actress Kate McCauley Hathaway, and praised her for pursuing her "dreams of being an actress while raising three children before that was cool and before you got credit for it."

Happy #MothersDay to my Mom, the actress Kate McCauley Hathaway. This is a photo of her as Nellie Forbush in South Pacific. She was four months pregnant with my older brother when she played this part and did cartwheels on stage every dang night- twice on matinee days. She pursued her dreams of being an actress while raising three children before that was cool and before you got credit for it— and she hasn’t stopped. She is in rehearsal right now for “At Wit’s End” at Cape May Stage which runs May 24th- June 22nd. If you find yourself in the cutest town just south of #exitzero in NJ, you should check her out. Mama, you’re the Queen. Happy Mother’s Day xx
