Katherine Schwarzenegger has revealed why she hides her daughter Lyla’s face in photos.
The author welcomed her first child with husband Chris Pratt in August, but the couple have yet to share a photo of their baby’s face.
During her appearance on Tuesday’s Today show, the 31-year-old explained: “Obviously, I didn’t grow up with social media being a thing at all, so it’s a little bit different in that way just because I feel like we share so much in today’s world.”
“But I think one of the greatest gifts that my parents ever gave me and my siblings is the gift of privacy and having a really normal upbringing, or as normal of an upbringing as possible.”
“We had a really normal and magical childhood, and we were allowed to kind of be our own people and have our own identity and kind of choose to step into whatever form of being public we wanted to when we felt comfortable. That was such an incredible gift to have given us kids.”

The new mum, who is the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, continued: “It’s something that’s really important to my husband and I to be able to give to our kids and to be able to have that privacy, and not necessarily show as much of them on social media.”
“All four of us kids would say that it has been such an amazing thing that our parents gave us, and so I want to be able to give that to our baby, too.”
Chris and Katherine got married in an intimate ceremony in California in 2019, and kept their pregnancy private.
Chris was previously married to actress Anna Faris for nine years, before splitting in 2017.
