Most parents can't stop themselves from posting photos of their children on social media. I know I'm guilty of this, too. Instagram has become the modern version of showing people a wallet-sized photo of your kid.
One celeb who has decided to not participate in this trend is Mindy Kaling. Mindy has famously kept her family life private since having her daughter in 2017, and from the sounds of it, plans to keep it that way.
I honestly don't know how she finds time to star in movies, create new TV shows, and write hilarious books. Mindy, tell me your time-management secrets!
She kept her pregnancy on the down-low, and it was actually her Wrinkle In Time costar, Oprah, who spilled the beans that there was a little Mindy on the way.
However, to this day, Mindy has kept details of her daughter and pregnancy under wraps and has rarely discussed it in interviews, including the identity of her daughter's father.
"I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I would have put it off and put it off. I’m happy that it happened when it did. I would have put it off indefinitely," she said in an interview with Glamour.
She said her relationship with her daughter reminds her of how much her own relationship with her mom meant to her. Awwww! Someone better pass the tissues.
While most celebs constantly post photos and updates of their kids online, Mindy has no interest in doing that for an important reason.
"I’m on social media and like sharing with people what my interests are and how my day’s going and all of that, but I do feel entitled to have privacy about my daughter and my relationships," she said.
"It’s really essential to my life that there be something not everybody knows about," she said.
As a mom, I totally get it. Sometimes, you just need to take a step away from Instagram and keep some things private. I'm glad Mindy is sticking to her values with this decision.
