As much as we love our favorite reality shows that offer a voyeuristic view into celebrities' family lives, there's no better way to get a peek into what their daily routines are really like than through YouTube vlogs. Instagram Story videos and posts are simply too short, but the celebrity moms who share the ups and downs of marriage and parenthood on their YouTube channels give us as much of the good stuff as possible — even when things get a little boring (and even then, it's still fascinating).
From Prince William and Kate Middleton to several of the Duggar sisters and even former Olympian Shawn Johnson, a lot of famous people have taken to YouTube to keep fans updated, and we're loving this window into their personal lives.
So which stars should we all be subscribed to? Read on for a list of celebrities who keep us entertained by sharing an honest look at their lives on YouTube.
Arie & Lauren Luyendyk
Bachelor couple Arie and Lauren Luyendyk was a bit controversial when they first got together, but now it's clear how meant to be they really are — especially watching their normal family life play out on their YouTube channel. Seeing them with their daughter, Alessi, is too cute, and soon, they'll be adding two more kids to their family when Lauren gives birth to twins. Party of five, here they come!
Carly Waddell
Another Bachelor franchise alum now featuring her life on YouTube is Carly Waddell. Since her split from husband Evan Bass (whom she met on Bachelor in Paradise), Carly's been showing the reality of adjusting to life after divorce as she parents her two young kids, Bella and Charlie.
Shawn Johnson
Former Olympian Shawn Johnson is all settled down with a family of her own, and watching their adventures on YouTube is usually pretty funny. Shawn's currently expecting her second child with husband Andrew East, and watching her adorable daughter, Drew, grow is so much fun.
Colleen Ballinger
Though Colleen Ballinger started out as a YouTube sensation (anyone heard of Miranda Sings?) she quickly became a star in her own right when her character earned her own Netflix series, Haters Back Off. Colleen is now married with a toddler and twin babies on the way, and she's documenting it all on her personal channel.
Jill Dillard
Jill Dillard is no longer on Counting On with the rest of the Duggar family, but she's still chronicling her life as a wife to Derick Dillard and a mom to sons Samuel and Israel on YouTube, including intense Q&A videos where she explains her estrangement from parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
Jessa Seewald
Another Duggar daughter who shares her life on YouTube is Jessa Seewald, though she is still starring on Counting On. And if you're interested in a peek at the larger Duggar family's adventures, this is the channel for you, because Jessa usually shares their get-togethers and massive holiday celebrations in her videos.
Joy-Anna Forsyth
Rounding out the list of Duggar daughters on YouTube is Joy-Anna Forsyth. Whether she's sharing DIY projects, updates on motherhood, or even vlog-style videos, we get a much more unfiltered look into what her life is really like than we've ever been able to see on TLC.
Kylie Jenner
With Keeping Up With the Kardashians coming to an end, we've gotta be able to keep up with Kylie somehow, and fortunately, her YouTube channel should cover that. She frequently shares bits and pieces of her life with her adorable daughter, Stormi (and it'll make you more jealous of a toddler than you ever thought possible).
Prince William & Kate Middleton
Yes, even royals are on YouTube! Prince William and Kate Middleton recently launched their own YouTube channel, offering a more personal look at their lives and their work as members of the royal family. Fingers crossed that George, Charlotte, and Louis end up making a few appearances!
Shay Mitchell
Former Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell has always been all about her YouTube videos. But since she gave birth to her daughter, Atlas, in 2019, she has been sharing what motherhood has been like for her (after documenting her entire pregnancy journey, of course).
Tia Mowry-Hardrict
Former Sister, Sister star Tia Mowry-Hardrict is mom to two sons, Cairo and Cree, with husband Cory Hardrict. On her channel, she hosts her own YouTube show, Tia Mowry's Quick Fix, and shares recipes, family updates, and adorable videos featuring her little ones.
Ashley Graham
Beloved model Ashley Graham became a mom with husband Justin Ervin in early 2020, and since then, she's kept it real about all things motherhood and her postpartum journey — as well as her experiences in her career. Check out Ashley's YouTube channel for some seriously hilarious footage from her family and personal life.
Chrissy Teigen
From travel vlogs and adorable videos of her kids, Miles and Luna, to more cooking videos than we can count, Chrissy Teigen's YouTube channel has it all (and it's enough to motivate anyone to make an actual meal for dinner). Plus, her awesome sense of humor definitely shows through in her videos.
Jessica Alba
Yes, mom, actress, and Honest Company founder Jessica Alba also has her own YouTube channel — seriously, where does she find the time?! She posts DIY content, videos on skin care and beauty, and more. And the best part? Her children, Honor, Haven, and Hayes, are all known to make guest appearances.
Snooki
These days, former Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is living a much more mellow life now that she has three children, but that doesn't mean she isn't still having a lot of fun! Snooki shares her life as a mom on YouTube, with plenty of sweet footage of kids Angelo, Giovanna, and Lorenzo.
