"I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls," Kutcher recently said. "I love them. I'm never going to stop loving them and respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they are pursuing."

Jada married Will Smith in 1997, when he was already the father of his son, Trey. "When I married Will, I knew Trey was part of the package…Period!" Jada wrote about Will's son in 2013. "If I didn't want that…I needed to marry someone else." She added that for Trey's sake, Jada learned to love his mother — Will's ex — because she knew that was one of the most important people in Trey's life.

Before giving birth to her son Santiago with husband José Bastón, Eva was already a stepmother to José's three kids. "My stepchildren have been such a gift in my life," she said at the time. "I don't feel like we're lacking because we don't have a baby."

Even after Santiago's birth, we're sure her stepkids remained a priority for Eva.

Jennifer Lopez's twins, Max and Emme ,love their soon-to-be stepdad, retired baseball star Alex Rodriguez. According to Hello! magazine, when J.Lo's kids finally met her fiancé, the twins "really liked him." She thinks Alex's patience is part of what makes him great stepdad material.

Just like Alex Rodriguez will be a stepdad to J.Lo's kids when he and Jennifer tie the knot, she'll also become a stepmom to his two daughters, Ella and Tashi. According to the previously mentioned Hello! magazine article, J.Lo already gets along with them so well.

"I got the most beautiful card from Alex's daughter, Tashi. And she told me it's an honor to be your stepdaughter," Jennifer said. She also recently wrote on Instagram about how she's been saving one of her Grammys dresses for Ella, who asked for it when they first met years ago. So cute.

Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley is the stepdad to his wife Domino Kirke's 10-year-old son, Cassius. Domino has raved to Us Weekly about Penn's parenting skills. "He's a really good stepdad," she said. "It's really nice. The stepparent thing is definitely unchartered territory for me cause I didn’t grow up with one, but … he takes care of him really well."

Recently, Penn and Domino welcomed their first child together, a sweet baby boy.

"He loved my mother and my siblings and I so fiercely, and so big and so loud that it would change all of our lives forever. Antonio taught me about true passion and discipline."

Hilaria Baldwin has a huge family with Alec Baldwin — made even bigger by his daughter, Ireland, from a previous marriage. Even with a bunch of biological children to care for, Hilaria always leaves room for Ireland.

"Sometimes my language about my biological children does not include her. Because I did not birth her and I never want to disrespect the fact that she has a wonderful mother," Hilaria said last year. "But this will never take away from how much I love her, need her in my life, and think that she is one of the best things that has ever happened to me."

The supermodel is a stepmom to Tom Brady's son, Jack, but she prefers a different term for her position. "I don't like the word 'stepmom,'" Gisele has said. "I like the word 'bonus mom' because I feel like it's a blessing in my life. I feel so lucky that I got to have an extra wonderful little angel in my life." Fittingly, she also calls Jack her "bonus child."

All parents worry about their kids, and the same is true for Matt Damon — even with his stepdaughter.

She then went on to have two kids of her own, and she loves all of them so much — even if her marriage to Brandon didn't necessarily work out.

When she was 28, Kate Bosworth married Michael Polish and became a stepmom to his daughter Jasper. Kate recently posted a throwback picture from that first year with a sweet caption:

"Me & Jasper, 2011 // Cereal in bed. The year I became a stepmom. It's also the year I learned to cook. I was truly intimidated by cooking for the longest time … it felt so adult. (At 28, I still very much felt like a kid)! But when I met Jasper, I knew I had to step up for her."

Gabrielle has several stepchildren with husband Dwyane Wade, including her stepdaughter, Zaya, who recently came out as transgender. Gabrielle has been supportive throughout Zaya's transition, saying:

"What we've realized through our very public journey is that us loving our children unconditionally has inspired other people to love their children unconditionally. And it doesn't mean you have all the answers or you're gonna get everything right. But, it's step one, love your babies … Just love them and release them to be themselves."

Emma Roberts' stepmom, Eliza, has always been there for her. "She's just amazing. An amazing woman," Eliza told Us Weekly of Emma.

"Now they have such a special relationship and … Matt is so helpful and so great with Luca."

(Random fact: Matthew recently got a tattoo of Hilary's name on his bum.)

No one will ever replace Princess Diana in Prince William and Prince Harry's hearts, but they've made room for their stepmom, Camilla, too. Harry has called the duchess "a wonderful woman," and reveals "she's made our father very, very happy, which is the most important thing." He added, "William and I love her to bits. To be honest with you, she's always been very close to me and William … but no, she’s not the wicked stepmother. I'll say that right now."

Kate Hudson and her brother, Oliver, have always been really close to their stepfather, Kurt Russell, especially since they don't have a good relationship with their biological father. In fact, Kate tends to honor Kurt on Father's Day instead. "Pa, just simply…Thank you," Kate wrote on Instagram for the holiday one year. "Happy Fathers Day I love you to the moon and back."
