Celebrities who don’t share pictures of their kids online as ‘sharenting’ becomes the norm

Sharenting, have you heard of it? Well let us break it down for you.

Sharenting is the phenomenon where parents share lots of information or pictures of their children on social media. And it turns out, not everyone thinks it's cute.

This can be seen in a new bill that is in the process of being pushed through in France, where parents may be prosecuted if they breach their kids privacy online.

The new law would mean there was a duty to respect children's privacy, which of course poses the question, how much sharing is too much sharing?

Well that's one of the reasons that France’s Assemblé Nationale voted in favour of the bill. Although not passed yet, supporters of the bill think it will protect children’s rights to their images, as well as protecting children from being humiliated or targeted by sex offenders.

Whether a parent chooses to share images of their child online has always been a sensitive subject.

People argue in social media comments whether it’s morally right for family “vloggers” to record their children- who aren’t old enough to consent or understand the scale to which they are being shown online.

But what about the people who seemingly share the most of themselves? What do our favourite famous families do in these scenarious?

Actress Blake Lively has spoken before about her choice to not post her children on social media, and how she doesn’t want them photographed by paparazzi.

In 2021 when an Instagram account posted an unauthorised picture of herself, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their children, Lively wasn’t afraid to speak out, she said: "This is so disturbing…I've personally shared with you that these men stalk and harass my children….

"This is not casual appreciation. This is YOU also exploiting very young children. Please. Delete. Please. Some parents are ok with this. We. Are. NOT."

The couple are not the only celebrities who are passionate about their child’s privacy online.

Gigi Hadid will post pictures of her daughter Khai, but makes sure her face isn’t in them. Sophie Turner has also been vocal about her baby’s privacy after photos were published of her and Joe Jonas’ daughter online, she said: “she is my daughter. She did not ask for this life, to be photographed.”

Most recently, Rhianna has also reminded the media that her son didn’t choose to be famous.

She made the decision to post a picture of her son first in order to prevent paparazzi selling unauthorised pictures.

Speaking to British Vogue about the subject, she said “We've been protecting him thus far and you don't have any consent to be posting photos or selling photos of my child, a minor.”
