Many celebrities are known for sharing their personal lives, including their children, with the world. However, some stars prefer to keep their kids out of the spotlight. Here are a few examples of celebrities who have managed to keep their children relatively private.
Robert De Niro is one such celebrity. The iconic actor has seven children, including twins Julian and Aaron, whom he had with model Toukie Smith via in vitro fertilization and surrogacy in 1995. Despite being the children of a Hollywood legend, Julian and Aaron have maintained a low profile.
In a rare public appearance, De Niro was spotted with his twins at a red-carpet event. The actor has spoken about the challenges of parenting, saying, “I love my children, just being with them… It’s not easy.” De Niro’s twins are now 28 years old and lead relatively quiet lives.
Another celebrity who has kept her child out of the spotlight is Kate Hudson. The actress’s son, Ryder, was born in 2004, and she has been careful to keep him out of the public eye. Hudson has spoken about the challenges of balancing her career and motherhood, saying, “I was really young when I had Ryder… Our relationship has always been a little unusual.”
Ryder is now an adult and has started college. Hudson has expressed her pride and excitement for her son’s future, saying, “I’m so excited for his future… When you see your kids thriving and feeling good in their skin, that’s all I can ask for.”
Jamie Lee Curtis is another celebrity who has a private child. Her daughter, Ruby, was born in 1996, and Curtis has been careful to keep her out of the spotlight. However, in recent years, Ruby has become more public, particularly after coming out as transgender.
Curtis has been supportive of her daughter’s transition, saying, “I’m proud to be the mother of a trans daughter.” Ruby has spoken about the challenges of coming out to her parents, saying, “It was scary, but I knew they would be accepting.”
Val Kilmer is another celebrity who has kept his child out of the spotlight. His daughter, Mercedes, was born in 1991, and Kilmer has been careful to keep her private. However, in recent years, Mercedes has become more public, particularly after her father’s diagnosis with throat cancer.
Mercedes has spoken about the challenges of dealing with her father’s illness, saying, “It’s really difficult to go through that with a parent and also to go through it with someone in the public eye.” Despite the challenges, Mercedes has remained close to her father and has been supportive of his recovery.
