Take a look at the journey of your favorite Disney princesses into motherhood

Disney princesses as moms

Many Disney princess movies end with the main character marrying her love interest. And since marriage usually leads to parenthood, a lot of fans can’t help but wonder what Disney princesses would look like if they were mothers. Though Ariel is the only official Disney princess so far to have had a child, talented artists like Oksana Paschenko, Isaiah Stephens, Calmingscene, yellb, and MissxAnonymous have already created several fan art pieces depicting Disney princesses as moms. Check out the slideshow below to see the journey of your favorite Disney princesses into motherhood, starting from pregnancy, delivery, and all the way to child-rearing.
