Not everyone is an open book when it comes to their kids. As for celebrities who already live under a microscope, how could you blame them?
Cardi B has been adamant about keeping her daughter Kulture off social media, sharing only glimpses of the baby’s feet and hands. While the Bronx rapper has been open about her pregnancy and post-delivery snap back, it seems she and her husband Offset are a little more cautious when it comes to sharing their new blessing with the world.
Halle Berry had similar views when it came to her 4-year-old son Maceo and 10-year-old daughter Nahla. In an Instagram comment to a fan who criticized Berry for hiding her children’s faces on social media, she drew a pretty hard line in the sand. “I try to find creative ways to incorporate them into my feed because they are the biggest part of my life, but I also work very hard to keep their identities as private as I can considering they are only children.”
In fact, it was Berry, along with several A-list parents like Jennifer Garner and Sandra Bullock, who rallied together to make paparazzi harassment of celebrity children a crime. Thanks, in part, to their concerted efforts, other super famous yet super private parents like Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, Kerry Washington and Adele can enjoy the spoils of parenthood without the paps all up in the mix.
While we certainly enjoy the glimpses we’re offered of celebrity parents and their mini-me’s on social media, it’s not fair to expect every celebrity family to be as generous. Here’s a list of celebrity parents who said “thanks but no thanks” to showing off their little ones, along with their reasons why.
