Stars Whose Kids We Rarely See

Australian star Danielle Spencer celebrated Mother's Day with a little help from her rarely-seen teen sons with ex Russell Crowe: Charles, 17, and Tennyson, 14. The couple divorced in 2018, but both have been committed to raising their kids mostly out of the spotlight. 

In 2016, Crowe reflected on the joys and challenges of being a divorced parent. "There is nothing cooler than being that close to your kids," he told Australia's Daily Telegraph. "One of my greatest fears is that over time they won’t want to spend all of their school holidays there with me. Because that is the best part of my year, when I have them to myself.”

Kudrow, who was pregnant with Julian during the Friends storyline in which Phoebe was a surrogate carrier her brother's triplets, recently shared a few shots celebrating the 23-year-old's birthday and graduation from University of Southern California. "Happy proud HAPPY. And a little crying," she wrote on the photo.

The "Fancy" rapper shared photos from the party she threw for son Onyx as he turned 1 year old in May 2021, writing on Instagram, "Just got back the film from onyxs party. Love my baby."

In the pictures, Azalea smiled while holding her happy boy close as the mother-son pair posed in front of a wall of colorful balloons. The mom also watched gleefully as Onyx sat in a tub of toy balls as a box full of the items were dumped in for him to play in.

The rapper shares a birthday with his son, as he turned 34 and his child turned 1 in May 2021. "Happy bday czar love you tomar your first big day!!!! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 can't wait to see you love you!!!" Mill wrote, sharing an adorable rare photo of his son on Instagram.

Announcing the birth of his first child with Milan Harris the May prior, Mill called the arrival of the little one the "best gift." He added, "Milano dropped me off a king on my birthday!"

In her own birthday tribute to their son, Harris shared how the first year with him changed her life completely. The mom posted a gallery of snapshots enjoying a boating day with her boy.

"I cannot believe my sweet baby turned 1 today," wrote Harris. "Wow, what a year it has been. I went from being selfish to selfless. You made me see the world from a new lens, you opened my eyes and my heart. I can't even remember life without you in it."

Wilde shared a photo on Instagram in April 2021 showing her two kids — son Otis Alexander, 7, and daughter Daisy Josephine, 4, whom she shares with ex Jason Sudeikis — on a boat ride together. Alongside the sunny snapshot, which showed the siblings blond hair from behind, Wilde added a pair of hatching chick emojis, "🐣 🐣."

The mom of two also celebrated her older child's birthday, which was days prior. "My heart turned 7 ❤️," she wrote over a photo of herself kissing Otis on the head.

Pete Wentz and Meagan Camper shared some photos of their daughter Marvel Jane as she turned 3 years old in April 2021. "She's helping me figure it all out," Wentz wrote with an adorable masked selfie of him and the birthday girl on his Instagram Story.

They enjoyed an outing to The Grove in Los Angeles, where Marvel put on a cute display in a blue floral dress. She appeared to make some birthday wishes in the shopping center's massive fountain.

Wentz and Camper also share son Saint, and Wentz has son Bronx with ex Ashlee Simpson.

Beyoncé's 9-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, is now a red carpet regular, but her 3½-year-old twins Sir and Rumi are a rarer sight on the superstar's social media. She posted some sunkissed shots of all the kids in Malibu, and no, you aren't the only one who gasped "They're so big now!"

The Oscar winner posted a sweet birthday tribute to her daughter Nahla on Instagram for her 13th birthday on March 16, 2021, sharing a rare throwback photo of herself smiling with her firstborn. Berry shares Nahla with ex Gabriel Aubry, and she is also mom to 7-year-old son Maceo, whom she shares with ex-husband Olivier Martinez.

In early March 2021, Musk shared a rare family photo featuring his partner and their son, 1 in May, on Twitter from "Starbase," a town along the Gulf Coast of Texas where he wants to create a new city.

The actress posted a rare shot of her cute 5-year-old kiddo to her feed for a very special occasion: the Lunar New Year. "Welcoming in the Year of the Metal Ox with open arms and hearts!" she wrote.

The former New York Giants quarterback was cheering for his former team on Jan. 4, 2021, with his four children all dressed up for the big day, too. The Super Bowl champ shares his children with wife Abby.

On Jan. 2, 2021, the rapper shared new photos of her 3-month-old son, whom she shares with husband Kenneth Petty, giving fans their first look at his face.

“#PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama 🎀🦄🙏 ,” she captioned a loving tribute, which included photos of her newborn lounging in adorable outfits and designer onesies. In one sweet snap, her baby even wore a “Papa Bear” necklace, in a nod to her affectionate nickname for him.

“Wishing you guys a happy & prosperous New Year. Thank you for your love & support throughout this journey. It’s meant so much to me. Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on,” she added. “Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there. Big hugs to all the women who have been pregnant during this challenging time.”

To mark her twins' turning 3 years old on Dec. 16, Anna Kournikova made two separate Instagram posts in honor of son Nicholas and daughter Lucy. The retired Russian tennis star captioned the posts, both close-ups of the smiling toddlers, "3! ❤️."

In the comment section of both posts, Kournikova's longtime partner Enrique Iglesias showed love for his two older children by leaving a red heart emoji. The pair also share daughter Mary, 10 months.

The mom of three shared rare videos of Nicholas and Lucy in January to celebrate the new year, showing the twins running on the grass in Miami toward a moving camera before stopping in front of a mesh fence. The video was set to Iglesias' upbeat track, and the siblings both wore black-and-white casual outfits for the outdoor play session.

The Grease star shared a father-son snapshot on Nov. 23 to celebrate the 10th birthday of his youngest child, son Ben, whom he shares with late wife Kelly Preston, who died in July after a private two-year battle with breast cancer.

The Instagram photo sees John, 66, hugging his son as they both flash wide grins.

"Happy 10th birthday my wonderful Ben! I love you!" the actor wrote.

Travolta — also dad to daughter Ella Bleu, 20, and son Jett, who died at age 16 after suffering a seizure in 2009 — doesn't often share photos of his children, but did post an adorable throwback of his two youngest last month.

Gang’s all here! On Nov. 21, the supermodel shared a snap of her four children, as well as husband Tom Kaulitz, during a family outing to the Boros Collection in Berlin, Germany.

Klum shares daughters Leni and Lou, as well as sons Henry and Johan, with ex-husband Seal. 

The four kids joined their mother in Germany after Klum filed an emergency motion in August claiming that Seal would not permit their children to travel to Europe with her for work due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

A week after the filing the couple settled on a custody agreement that would allow them to travel with their mother.

"We are sooo happy today!!" the actor and activist wrote on Instagram alongside a selfie of him with his 13-year-old daughter Odette on Nov. 7, after the presidential election was called for Joe Biden. The actor is also dad to Keen, 19, and Bella, 15, with his wife of 20 years. 

While the supermodel has long kept her four children — whom she co-parents with ex-husband Seal — when her eldest daughter Leni turned 16 in May 2020, she got an Instagram account and started sharing partial glimpses of her face (as well as those of her siblings). And it appears she may be following her mom into the modeling business; in November, Heidi shared a shot of of Leni accompanying her to a photoshoot.

Klum welcomed Leni in May 2004 — and by December 2009, the adoption process for Klum's (now-ex-) husband Seal had been finalized.

Seal and Klum (who married Tom Kaulitz last summer) also share daughter Lou Sulola, 10, plus sons Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo, 13, and Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu, 14.

Dewan shared a photo of her daughter Everly — whom she shares with ex-husband Channing Tatum — after the 7-year-old accompanied her to cast her vote in the 2020 election. 

Dewan shared on Instagram, "For you Evie, for you Callum, and for our future generations. I pray we bring this country healing, equality and unification once again.♥️🤍💙." 

Dewan shares son Callum with fiancé Steve Kazee. 

The Oscar winner opened up to PEOPLE's Oct. 26 cover story about how his children have been handling their time in quarantine. 

While McConaughey and his wife tend to keep their three kids — son Levi, 12, daughter Vida, 10, and son Livingston, 8 (not pictured) — out of the spotlight, he shared that they’ve “doubled down on their hobbies” while at home, “creative things and parts of themselves I don’t think they would have leaned into if they were back in school.” 

Notably, they’ve been working on their photography skills, the proud dad added. “They’re into it — all three [of the kids],” he said. “They’re becoming a production crew. It’s very cool, [and] they’re starting to get kind of good at it.” So good that they ultimately snapped their dad's PEOPLE cover shot! 

The Bombshell star, 45, shared a photo of daughters August, 5, and Jackson, 8, in honor of National Daughter’s Day on Sept. 25.

“My heart belongs to these two beautiful powerhouses,” she wrote in the caption, alongside a series of rare family snaps, including one smiling photo of the family of three seemingly celebrating a birthday, and several other photos of the sisters spending time together. 

“I will never be the same. Happy #NationalDaughtersDay ❤️,” Theron added.

Sofia Richie shared a photo with older sister Nicole and her mini-me daughter Harlow Winter Kate, 12 — and the three could easily pass as triplets!

"My favorite trio," Sofia captioned the post, which came from a family gathering in which the loved ones all painted hot sauce bottles for an outdoor art class. Nicole captured the sweet snapshot, holding her phone up as her daughter and Aunt Sofia gather close for the moment.

Bella Kidman Cruise typically keeps her Instagram account focused on her artwork, but treated fans to a mirror selfie on Aug. 26. 

"All that glitters is gold.. oh wait, it’s just another Instagram filter," Bella, 27, wrote in the caption.

Cruise and Kidman are parents to Bella and her younger brother Connor, 25. The pair divorced in 2001.

We rarely get to see the mom of two's children, so it was a real Mother's Day treat when the Oscar-winning actress posted a sweet throwback shot of herself cuddling up with son Aleph, 8, and daughter Amalia, 3. 

In the sweet photo, Portman cradles baby Amalia while getting a hug and a kiss from Aleph. 

Bullock likes to keep her private life private, but she made an exception when she and her daughter, 8-year-old Laila, appeared on Red Table Talk to surprise a nurse on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.

The star, 55, surprised April Buencamino, a nurse manager for the COVID-19 unit at California's Adventist Health (White Memorial) Hospital, where Bullock, her partner Bryan Randall, and her two children, Laila, 8, and Louis, 10, donated thousands of KN95 masks to healthcare workers.

After inviting Laila to thank April, she proudly told the group of her daughter: "She’s our world superhero. She’s the one who’ll save the world in our family, so she’s ready. She’s ready to join you out there April in a few years!"

Can you see the family resemblance? The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star gave fans a rare glimpse of her 26-year-old son Tommy Zizzo on May 5. 

"People say we look alike," she captioned the shot of the young police officer.

"No, you can’t comment," she added with a laughing emoji, referencing her decision to disable the comments section on the post.

While the reality star, 48, has often spoken about her son from her first marriage, Zizzo has never made an appearance on RHOBH, and likely won't anytime soon.

"Probably not," Girardi said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last year. "I don't think so, no. You know he has a private life; he's a police officer."

The golf superstar's kids with ex Elin Nordegren (Sam, 12, and Charlie, 11 - pictured having a "Masters' Champions dinner" with their dad and his girlfriend Erica Herman) are occasionally seen supporting their dad at competitions - or vice versa, as when Woods caddied for Charlie in January.

The Goop founder's 15-year-old daughter Apple gets photo approval before anything is posted to Mom's socials - which may explain why she and her 13-year-old brother Moses (dad is Chris Martin) make such rare appearances.

The actor's kids (Livingston, 8, and Vida, 10; older brother Levi, 12, is not pictured) are seldom seen, but it made sense to enlist them to help make his virtual Bingo game for an Austin, TX. senior center a family affair.

The mom of two usually shares photos of her sons' profiles but she shared an adorable close-up of her youngest as a special treat.

"In case anyone needed some baby smiles today," Conrad wrote on Instagram, as many continue to practice social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Before Fallon's daughters became regular fixtures on the episodes of The Tonight Show that the host has been filming while social distancing at home, they rarely appeared on his social media.

In February 2020, Fallon shared a snap commemorating a family trip to the Bahamas with wife Nancy Juvonen and their daughters, Frances Cole, 5, and Winnie Rose, 6. 

"Buckets of fun in the Bahamas! 🇧🇸,” the father of two captioned the Instagram photo. 

The founder of ModelLand loves to brag about her four-year-old son with ex Erik Asla, but showing him on her social media is another. So we couldn't believe how grown-up he looked when she brought him to a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition in L.A. in February!

It's not often that we get the chance to see the adorable faces of Hilton Rothschild's two daughters, Lily-Grace, 4,  and Teddy, 2, whom she shares with husband James. 

The mom of two has rarely shared photos of her family over the years, and typically keeps her daughters out of the public eye.

On Feb. 24, 2020, though, she brought her daughters to an L.O.L. Surprise! event in N.Y.C., where they looked too cute in matching outfits. 

Lively and Reynolds also keep most photos of their kids to themselves, but it was a family affair when Ryan Reynolds was given his star on the Walk of Fame. 

James and Inez were joined by a baby sister in 2019, but the family has yet to reveal many details, including her name ("all the letters in her name are silent,” Reynolds has joked).

One thing they did share? Their house is total chaos. "It’s like going from two to 3,000. [We] have so many children," Lively has said.

Coppola had a rare (photographed) night out with her daughter Romy at the Marc Jacobs Fall 2020 runway show during New York Fashion Week. Romy looked all grown up in an oversized blue sweater.

Coppola shares daughters Romy, 13, and Cosima, 9, with husband Thomas Mars. 

The musician brought a special guest to the 2020 Grammys: his 15-year-old son.

The two partied the night away at Universal Music Group’s afterparty in L.A., following the star-studded ceremony.

Jeter had some special cheerleaders on hand to celebrate his election into the baseball Hall of Fame — daughters Story, 11 months, and Bella, 2. 

The five-time World Series champion and wife Hannah typically avoid sharing photos of their children on social media, but included them in the celebratory video which shows Jeter learning the happy news over the phone.

Hannah opened up about her private family life in November of last year, telling Editorialist magazine, "[Social media] has never felt natural to me. I know it’s necessary in my industry, and I absolutely have to when it’s part of a contract. But a lot of people post their children and husbands, and for me that will never be the case."

"Both my husband and I have been in a place in our careers where we have to share so much. And we can handle it," she continued. "But when you love something so much, you want to protect it more than anything in the world. And for me, that’s my relationship, that’s my kids."

In celebration of the new decade, Kournikova shared an adorable video of her 2-year-old twins, Nicholas and Lucy, running on the grass in Miami toward a moving camera, before stopping in front of a mesh fence.

The famous parents don't often post photos or videos of their little ones, but when they do they certainly don't disappoint! 

It's a Christmas miracle! The Dawson's Creek actress shared a rare selfie of her and ex-husband Tom Cruise's 13-year-old daughter Suri Cruise on Dec. 26. Along with the sweet black-and-white snap, Holmes also shared a video that captured some snowy scenery as the pair appeared to head out on a Christmas getaway. 

Ferrera and her husband Ryan Piers Williams celebrated Christmas day by snuggling up to their 19-month-old little one in matching plaid pajamas.

"I hope you get kiss attacked today by some bunny you love. 🎄Merry Merry & a Happy Happy to everyone celebrating the holidays!" the Superstore actress wrote on Instagram, protecting Sebastian "Baz" with a bunny face. 

For Sebastian's 1st birthday, the trio donned matching mini party hats and covered baby's face with a smiling emoji. 

The Serenity actor and his wife rarely put their kids in the spotlight, but Alves shared a sweet snap of daughter Vida, 10, cuddling up to their purrfect pet in front of their Christmas tree ahead of the holidays.

The couple also share sons Livingston, 7, and Levi, 11. The entire family hit the red carpet together earlier this year and posed for some adorable group photos. 

One year after Green's ex, Vanessa Marcil, claimed that their son, 17-year-old Kassius, was cut out of Green and wife Megan Fox's life, Green shared a photo of his eldest on Instagram. The two were celebrating a trip to the movies to see the the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise, The Rise of Skywalker.

The singer posted a rare photo of his daughter, who shares a birthday with Martin and turns one on Dec. 24, looking precious in a lion towel. 

The photo is only the second Martin has shared of his daughter with husband Jwan Yosef. The couple are also parents son Renn, whose birth they announced on Oct. 29, and Martin's 11-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino.

The singer, who recently married Stranger Things star David Harbour, brought her rarely-seen two daughters to the Frozen 2 premiere in London on Nov. 17, 2019. The girls were dressed as Elsa and Anna from the Disney film and posed on the red carpet with their mom.

Allen shares Marine Rose, 6, and Ethel, 7, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper. The singer and builder-decorator got married in 2011 and split in 2016.

Fox and Green — who split in May 2020 after almost a decade of marriage — do a good job of keeping their kiddos, Noah, 8, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 4, out of the public eye, but every now and then they share a rare shot of them all together. Here, they celebrate Halloween at Disneyland (complete with adorable costumes)! 

Fox joked of the photo, "Halloween at @disneyland is always the most fun but can I get ONE family photo where everyone is looking at the camera and making a semi normal face ??”

Theron is mom to two daughters, Jackson, 7, and August, 3, but we rarely see photos of her children. The Bombshell actress recently shared this photo of Jackson with the punny caption, "We don’t wanna leaves 🍃"

Theron last shared a photo of her daughters in November 2016 in honor of World Adoption Day. Even then, the photo was only of their hands. Theron adopted Jackson in 2012 and August was adopted three years later. 

Theron told PEOPLE in May, "Even when I was in relationships, I was always honest with my partners, that adoption was how my family would look one day. This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first.”

Fishel's son Adler (pictured here with former Boy Meets World castmate Ben Savage) was born on June 24, 2019, four weeks earlier than expected. The new mom decided that she would not be posting photos of her son's face, explaining her decision in a lengthy Instagram post.

She shared, "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. 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."

Fishel expressed that it was a difficult decision for the couple, because, "I wanna show you my baby every day. He's cuter than this 👼 but I worry about a couple things. 1. His safety. There are weirdos out there. Enough said. 2. Putting pictures and facts about him onto the internet that he doesn't have any say in. I'd like for him to be able to curate his own footprint on the internet in the future without being mortified we posted about his his fear of swimming or his first crush."

In a 2019 interview with PEOPLE, Kruger said that she chooses to keep her daughter's name and face private for several reasons. 

“Well first and above all, it’s safety,” Kruger said. “We have The Walking Dead empire which has a lot of very intense fandomship that comes with it.”

Elaborating about the challenges that come with admirers of her boyfriend’s zombie series, Kruger added, “We had a couple [of] incidences before her arrival that were not so fun to deal with and so my main concern’s her safety.”

“And secondly, she is an innocent, young, vulnerable baby and I think I just don’t understand why America doesn’t have better laws for children,” she continued.

Still, she has shared a few particularly sweet father-daughter moments, like this one in August 2019.

Seyfried's mini-me is learning the ropes! Seyfried has never shared a photo of her 2-year-old daughter's face, but posted this picture to Instagram in August 2019, sharing a sweet mother-daughter moment when the pair went to work together. 

When babies attack! Prinsloo posted this rare photo of both Dusty and Gio to Instagram in August 2019, getting real about motherhood in the caption. "Here’s to the sleepless nights, bleeding nipples, crying, laughing, the highest of highs and lowest of lows and everything in between, i won’t change a single thing, being mom to Dusty and Gio keeps me strong, motivated and empowered," the Victoria's Secret model wrote.
