Fame is synonymous with distress and insecurity and in this era of tabloid journalism, aggrandizement is quite a common scenario for the celebrities. Be it a coffee date or running a few errands, or a lunch date or a movie night, gym session or award functions several eyes are constantly following them.
Dealing with paparazzi is even more difficult for those celebrity parents who aren’t exhilarated at all with the constant attention that their kids garner in the media. In recent times, several celebs have been vocal about maintaining their children’s privacy and asking media not to click and upload any pictures of their beloved little ones. Throughout the circus act of parenting, it’s important to focus on balancing priorities, juggling responsibilities and quickly flipping between the needs of your children, other family members and yourself. Parenting is incredibly challenging yet rewarding. This being a major concern, the celebrity parents are now extremely strict about revealing faces of their children. The primiparous mom Gigi Hadid has done so well keeping her ‘tofu – princess’ completely out of the spotlight until now.
Here’s 5 celebrity parents who completely kept their ‘baby – boos’ from the paparazzis:
1. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas:
The ‘Game of Thrones’ actor wasn’t too happy when the paparazzi clicked photos of her daughter, Willa Jonas, without her permission. Reacting to the same, Sophie shared a video where she slammed paparazzi saying, “I am not posting pictures of my daughter and making sure that we can avoid paparazzi at all costs is because I explicitly do not want those photos out there.”
2. Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik:
The whole world and their millions of fans showered this super gorgeous couple with love and blessings when they welcomed their little angel baby Khai. Ever since this mommy has either blurred or has posted blind angle photos of her tiny treasure. Hadid recently wrote an open letter addressed to the media in relation to her daughter Khai’s photos where she requested the paparazzi to honour her daughter’s privacy and not share photos of her face and in case she is clicked, blur them before publication. The model wrote, “Our wish is that she can choose to share herself with the world when she comes of age and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible.”
3. Katty Perry and Orlando Bloom:
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom welcomed their first child together, daughter Daisy in August 2020. While the singer hasn’t made any statement about keeping her daughter’s face private, both Katy and Orlando have chosen not to reveal Daisy’s face in any pictures. The singer is known to cover it with emoticon in posts.
4. Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar:
In an interview with a leading tabloid, Twinkle confessed the reason for hiding her daughter Nitara’s face for a long time. She said, “I think she is very young and she should get her privacy. I don’t really put up pictures of my son Aarav. I think that they are growing and if they come out with me for a movie or something and then if someone clicks pictures then I am okay. As parents, we try to keep them away from the limelight until they understand the consequences and learn to handle themselves.”
5. Kristin Bell and Dax Shephard:
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are parents to daughters Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 6, and have been particularly vocal about not allowing paparazzi to share their pictures. The couple has also never revealed their daughter’s faces on social media and is known to hide it with emoticons.
These celebrity parents are indeed making amazing efforts to keep their children out from the hassle of media and the constant pressure of paparazzi.
