Many celebrities love to use social media to share their life with fans and followers . While they entertain for a living, they build tons of fans who want to see what their life is like off-screen.
Sometimes, celeb moms use Instagram to share photos of their kids.
From newborn photos to first steps, there are dozens of celebrity parents who share intimate and personal photos of their families online.
One celeb mom, however, has decided that she doesn’t want to share photos of her son’s face online.
And, she has a pretty incredible reason as to why she is keeping his face private on all social media outlets.
Danielle Fishel, known for her iconic role on “Boy Meets World,” recently opened up about her new baby boy, Adler.
She and her husband, Jensen Karp, shared some intimate details on social media about her son who was born prematurely.
Adler spent some time in the NICU, but luckily, he was sent home healthy with mom and dad.
Danielle posted a nice thank you on social media to the staff and nurses who helped her son in the NICU.
Like other celebrity moms, Danielle shared some photos of Adler on social media…
But, there was one big difference — Danielle chose not to show his face in any photos on social media.
She did share some pretty touching moments with fans, like her own “TV love” meeting her new, little love.
Ben Savage posed with her son in a touching picture that brings her life and career full circle.
However, all of the photos keep Adler’s face private.
For all of the fans and followers who were asking why, Danielle had a wonderful response that was well thought out and smart.
She began by explaining that her and her husband both made the conscious choice to be in the public eye, but her son has not.
“Currently, @jensenkarp and I have chosen to keep Adler’s face off our social media pages. We are two people who made a conscious choice to be in the public eye and share what would normally be private moments with the public.”
Obviously, her son is too young to be able to make that decision for himself right now, so she is keeping Adler private until he is old enough to do so.
“Adler isn’t capable of making that choice for himself and until he is, we’ve decided to shield him from places where strangers can comment on him.
It wasn’t an easy decision for us. We both love social media and sharing special moments in our lives. I also don’t have any issue posting a picture of me in a men’s bathrobe with a rice eye patch that’s healing a stye on my eye but that’s MY choice.”
She added that it’s a hard decision, but it’s one she feels most comfortable with.
“The truth is, choosing not to post pictures of him kinda sucks. I wanna show you my baby every day. He’s cuter than this.”
She also said that she doesn’t judge other celebrity moms who share their kids on social media.
“With that said, I look at people like Chrissy Teigen and I love how she posts about her kids and I respect her decision. It makes me think I can/should do the same thing. But then I see Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd and I respect and understand their decision too! Also, not posting any pictures of his face does put a bit of a paparazzi bounty on him because someone will want the first image. (Maybe we allow someone to have pictures of him once and then keep him private from then on? Idk.)”
In the end, she just asked that people respect the decision she and her husband have decided.
“In the end, @jensenkarp and I had to make a decision about what we felt comfortable posting and for now (at least) we have chosen to not post his face. But I’m also not going to not post a beautiful picture of one of my best friends holding my baby for the first time because seeing an emoji over his face ticks you off. I’m sorry if that offends you but we’re doing the best we can and it’s hard. Being a parent and making decisions for your kid is tough. Fyi, dogs are easier. “
We totally stand by you, Danielle!
