Actress and new mom Danielle Fishel doesn’t want to “sharent.” The Boy Meets World star recently announced the decision to shield her two-month-old son Adler’s face in social media posts, and here’s why.
In a recent Instagram post, Fishel explained her and hubby Jensen Karp’s decision, “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 isn’t exactly the first person in the spotlight to keep their kiddo’s identity private. The actress pointed out two notable celeb parents, writing, “But then I see Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd and I respect and understand their decision too!”
So, for now, don’t expect to see baby Adler’s cute little noggin online. In the future, when he’s old enough to decide for himself, maybe you will. Fishel explains, “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 fear of swimming or his first crush.” And we totally get it.
