Poll: Best-loved celeb parents in the world!
They're rich, they're famous and their fans think their parenting skills are unparalleled.
A UK-based website recently conducted a poll to determine which of these prominent couples were thought to be the ideal parents.
MyVoucherCodes.co.uk allowed participants to pick multiple answers and vote for whichever celebs they thought were the best at looking after and bringing up their children. Here's a look at the results.
1. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Meet the most loved celebrity mom and dad in the world! With their brood of six children (three adopted and three biological), it's no wonder that Brad and Angie have made it to first place with a staggering 78 percent of the votes.
When asked 'Why do you respect and admire these parents?', 22 percent of the poll respondents put it down to their 'charitable work', while 31 percent said their 'commitment to each other' was the chief reason.
There's no denying it -- no matter how many tabloids speculate on their personal lives, the Jolie-Pitts are doing a super job bringing up their tots.

2. Victoria and David Beckham
The erstwhile Posh Spice and her footie ace hubby came in at second place, with 74 percent of the votes. It may surprise you to know that Victoria does ditch her stilettos once in awhile to play football with her three boys and she's quite the disciplinarian -- she's even been caught on camera admonishing unruly behaviour! As for David, he's known to be a devoted father and has even had his kids' names tattooed on.

3. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale
The married musicians came in at Number Three with 67 percent of the votes. Gwen and Gavin are often seen spending quality time with their two sons in their Beverly Hills neighbourhood and seem model parents. One poll they wouldn't do so well in, however, would be picking out baby monikers -- their sons' names are Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock. Go figure!

4. Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith
The Smiths seem to have a wonderfully happy marriage (a rare thing in the entertainment industry) and are known to be well-grounded despite their star status. And it seems these traits have rubbed off on their two children as well as Will's eldest son from a previous marriage. The couple has often been quoted as saying in interviews that their privileged offspring are not allowed to take their lifestyle for granted and their fans seem to believe them -- they roped in 63 percent of the votes.

5. Louise and James Redknapp
The former football player and his singer wife nabbed fifth spot with 61 percent of the votes. They have two sons, one of whom was hospitalised shortly after birth for suspected meningitis. While he quickly recovered and is now a picture of health, the devoted parents have stated that they cherish their children and never take what they have for granted.

6. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
This celeb couple is known to make a great parenting team, with both of them pitching in to ensure their two cute daughters are well looked after and not piled off on nannies. When she's not working on movies, Garner is a full-time, stay-at-home mom, dropping her kids off to school, accompanying them to the park and even making baby food for them instead of going for ready-to-eat products. No wonder she and Affleck landed 58 percent of the votes.

7. Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette
The Friends star and her actor/movie-maker husband had a lot of trouble conceiving the first time around, having to go the in-vitro route and now 5-year-old daughter Coco is the apple of their eyes. They are now reportedly considering adopting a second child, news that should be well-received by their fans, 54 percent of whom saw them voted into seventh position.

8. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
This Hollywood power-couple's tot Suri is arguably the most famous celeb baby in the world! Katie Holmes is rarely spotted without her daughter in tow and took a long hiatus from acting to focus on parenting. When she made her debut on Broadway with theatre acting, it was Tom's turn to play doting dad, toting Suri along on outings. They seem to balance things out perfectly and had 51 percent of pollers in favour of them.

9. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
There's an age-gap of a quarter of a decade between them, but it doesn't seem to matter to these mega-star mom and dad, who have two children together. Michael Douglas' son from a former marriage, Cameron (32) was recently jailed for drug dealing and the veteran actor publicly took the blame, saying it was his poor fathering skills that caused the life of his eldest to take such a turn. He says, however, that he has completely changed his approach to parenting style since and it looks like his fans believe him -- he and Zeta-Jones are the seventh best-loved celeb parents in the world.

10. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
While these two never married, they have a son together and children with previous partners, all of whom seem to make up one big happy family. Goldie's daughter, actress Kate Hudson and son Oliver Hudson, look upon Kurt as a father figure and Goldie is stepmom to Kurt's son from a previous marriage. Talk about confusing situations, but it seems to work for them, because they landed 47 percent of approval in the poll!
