In celebration of National Grandparent’s Day on September 8, we’re taking a look at five famous grandparents and their joys of watching the generations grow.

Goldie Hawn

Legendary actress Goldie Hawn, 67, and ex-husband Bill Hudson have two grown children and five grandchildren.

After the recent birth of her fifth grandchild—her only granddaughter—the Academy Award–winning actress announced the joyous addition to her growing family.

“Welcome Rio! Our first baby girl to join our family!” Goldie proudly tweeted. “Oliver and Erinn thank you for bringing so much JOY to our lives! #happiness.”

According to the Private Benjamin star, being a grandmother is “Love with a capital L!”

“[I hope to teach them] to become as resilient as they can,” she added. “We all get knocked down, but the measure of the man is how fast you get up. And I think that’s what I’d really like to instill in the kids. We’re all going to fail, we’re all going to mess up, but it’s not as much about that as it is learning from your mistakes and getting up real fast.”

Garth Brooks

Country crooner Garth Brooks recently entered the grandparents club this summer when his middle daughter, 19-year-old August Anna Brooks, and boyfriend Chance Michael Russell welcomed their first child—a girl named Karalynn.

Grandpa Garth, 51, has since issued a statement since his first grandchild’s birth:

“Our family would first like to thank everyone for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K’s arrival,” he said. “Our children’s lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people. We have always wanted them to be individuals and NOT be known as ‘someone’s daughters.’”

He added: “I have been amazed and grateful how the press has always respected this. I now ask that respect to please continue as this young family begins the greatest days of their lives.”

Blythe Danner

With both Emmy and Tony awards to her name, Blythe Danner has played many memorable parts over the years. But it sounds as though her favorite role to date just might be that of doting grandmother.

The Meet the Fockers star, 70, said she loves the time she spends with daughter Gwyneth Paltrow‘s kids Apple and Moses.

“I don’t feel like a grandmother with them,” she gushed. “I get on my hands and knees and act like a complete fool! We have a lot of fun together.”

And it sounds like she’d love the whole family—including famous son-in-law, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin—to live a little closer.

“I would love them next door, banging away on the drums, and Chris writing new songs,” she added.
