Some celebs work so hard to keep their private lives out of the spotlight that even their
kids have remained under the radar.
From Kate Winslet, to Donald Glover, and Scarlett Johansson, to Michelle Williams, these are
the celebrity children no one knows about!
Tom Hardy
While you may know him as the buff and hunky Mad Max, Tom Hardy is also a proud dad!
He and his wife, actress Charlotte Riley, welcomed a baby in 2015 and have yet to release
the name or gender of the child.
While Hardy has a son named Louis from a previous relationship, this was Hardy's first child
with Riley.
And in June 2018, rumors started circulating that they're reportedly expecting a second
child, per the Daily Mail.
Hardy is known to keep a very low profile and is passionate about living a normal life
with his family.
He told GQ,
"I want to go down to the shop and get my milk, come back, be part of the human race.
That's it.
I just want to be any normal man with my family."
Kate Winslet
Many were stunned when actress Kate Winslet announced in 2013 that, at 37, she was pregnant
with her third child - and her first with husband Ned Rocknroll.
Winslet revealed why it might have been a surprise to fans, telling This Morning,
"We don't have any social media at all.”
“How have you managed that?”
“We just don't have it.
It's as simple as that.”
And, while the birth of her son, Bear, was kept under wraps, she did offer up some insight
as to why she prefers a low-key life, telling Glamour UK,
"Sure, I could have lots of people who do the cooking, the driving, all that jazz - but
I would be unhappy.
I wouldn't want my children raised that way."
Donald Glover
Donald Glover, the actor and musician also known as Childish Gambino, has always skirted
the spotlight.
No one even know he had a girlfriend, Michelle, until news broke that the couple had a child
together in 2016, according to E! News.
Glover only announced they were raising a boy when he accepted his award at the 2017
Golden Globes - and it wasn't until June of that year that Glover revealed his first son's
name, Legend, during his Governor's Ball performance.
Later that same year at the Emmys, he announced that he and Michelle were expecting another
boy, who was then born in January 2018.
Zoe Saldana
Actress Zoe Saldana surprised everyone when she revealed via Instagram that she had given
birth to a third son, Zen - without anyone spotting so much as a baby bump.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star may post pics of her kids occasionally, but she makes
sure none of their faces are fully revealed.
She gives the world just a taste of her private life, and it seems to be working out perfectly!
"They're wonderful.
But they keep me busy, oh my God.
I'm like we need to get like four treadmills, just put them on the treadmill, every morning,
just walk-walk-walk-walk-walk-walk-walk.”
Heather Morris
Glee's Heather Morris gave birth to her son, Elijah, in September 2013 with now-husband
Taylor Hubbell.
She kept most of her pregnancy details out of the media, but told Us Weekly she was keeping
it chill, saying,
"When you stress out, it's a lot harder."
"I got pregnant with Eli, it was a huge surprise, but it was like oh my God, like, this is what
I'm missing.”
And fans didn't find Morris courting the tabloids when it came to marrying her high school sweetheart,
either.
Back in 2016, Morris told Us Weekly,
"It's just more exciting between us."
The couple have since tied the knot - without the paparazzi - and welcomed their second
son in 2016.
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is a big time celebrity, but you rarely see her face in the tabloids.
She once told Barbara Walters,
"You know, I live a pretty low-key lifestyle.
I’ve always held my cards sort of close to my chest when it came to my private life."
She's so private, that in an interview with Vanity Fair, she didn't even reveal that she
was expecting a child with her then-husband, Romain Dauriac.
But she did express just how much she despises social media, saying,
"All of it drives me crazy."
So when Johansson gave birth in 2014, she continued to keep things low key for her daughter,
Rose.
"I absolutely love being a mom, my daughter is, it's true, it gets better every day, she's
my little buddy.”
Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway may be an award-winning actress, but at home she's known as mom.
She and her husband, actor and producer Adam Shulman, welcomed their son Jonathan in 2016,
according to E! News.
"I don't wanna gush about my son because everyone's gonna vomit, so I just try to keep that one
to myself, excuse me.”
While Hathaway initially kept her son out of mainstream media outlets, in 2017, after
her speech for International Women's Day at the U.N. regarding paid parental leave, she
posted a photo of her son watching her speech on a laptop.
Later, she told Jezebel she regretted it, saying,
"I felt like I had broken some kind of a seal inviting people into my life.
[…] Even though it was a moment I was incredibly proud of, I don't know that I'll ever do it
again."
Michelle Williams
In 2005, actress Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger had a daughter, Matilda.
Even after the couple split, and Ledger died tragically in 2008, Williams fought to keep
her daughter out of the media.
"How has it changed you, being a mom?”
“That's what I mean, like in every single way I feel like reborn as a human being, in
every way, there's not a part of my life that it hasn't touched.”
The actress even left her home in Brooklyn for a time to raise her daughter out of paparazzi
reach.
She actually thanks actress Kristen Bell for helping keep Matilda's life out of the spotlight.
She told The New York Post,
"My personal hero, Kristen Bell, lobbied websites and magazines to no longer publish photos
of children.
[…] I e-mail [Bell] once every couple of months and say, 'I owe you everything.
My daughter's happiness is in your hands.'"
