When a celebrity child is born, the red carpet seems to roll out for them. From which magazine will get the first exclusive to when the parents will post the first picture on Instagram, the public loves hearing about a new celebrity baby. But there are some celebrity parents out there who seem to diligently keep their children out of the limelight, and impressively so. Those are the celebrities you didn't even realize were parents.
In a world where baby pictures seem to inundate your every social media feed, it's crazy to think that there are people whose lives are seemingly on display who manage to keep their kids out of the public eye. The urge to share your baby's every move these days is strong, but these celebrity moms and dads have managed to step back from the spotlight and keep their world of parenthood fairly private.
