Being a single parent is no easy task, and being a child raised by a single parent isn’t always a walk in the park either. The support, attention, and love that children get from both parents is vital to their growth and development as humans. That is not to say however that a single parent cannot provide the support, attention, and love of two parents combined, and these people listed below show that being raised by single parents can be a strength and motivation to one’s life story.
Here are some inspiring people raised by single parents:
- Tom Hanks
- Kanye West
- Barack Obama
- Halle Berry
- Jay-Z
- Christina Aguilera
- Eva Mendes
- Keanu Reeves
- Alicia keys
- Jodie foster
- Jon stewart
- Justin Bieber
- Michael Phelps
- Selena Gomez
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Prince William & Harry
- Bono
- Hugh Jackman
- Courtney Love
- Jane Fonda
- Rosie O’Donnell
- Paul McCartney
- Robert Redford
- Mariska Hargitay
- Mike Tyson
- Ian McKellen
When these people were children, their mothers or fathers left them and their other parent deserted for financial or other foolish reasons, died from travesties you’ve likely read about, or had to leave for causes the history of which are unknown. No matter the circumstance, these children grew up to bring love and happiness to the world. They have found their way and many now have children of their own. We are grateful to the single parents who raised them, and all the single parents out there, and also want to express how proud we are of all children raised by single parents.
