Kristen Bell is an extremely open celebrity parent [3] — except when it comes to showing the faces of her and Dax Shepard's two daughters [4], Lincoln and Delta, in pictures on social media. In an interview with Romper, the mom of two went into her reasoning for keeping her girls out of the spotlight [5].
"My feeling is that I chose a career in the public eye. I chose to be quoted, I chose to have my picture taken," she said. "I don't know them yet. I don't know if they will want that. So I really don't have the right to choose for them."
And her feelings aren't completely surprising, as Kristen was among other celebrity moms like Jennifer Garner [7] and Halle Berry [8] who worked toward passing a now-law that makes it a misdemeanour to photograph or video a child [9] in a harassing manner, regardless of their famous parentage. And while some celebrity parents, such as Hilary Duff [10], still choose to show their kids' faces on their personal social media accounts despite supporting the paparazzi-related law [11], Kristen won't be among that group unless she gets the go-ahead from Lincoln or Delta when they're old enough to decide.
Until then, we'll settle for seeing their fun family photos with the girls' faces covered by emoji — we can tell that they're adorable and full of personality regardless.
