The Oscar winner surprised fans in July 2018 with a rare photo showing half of 4½-year-old son Maceo-Robert’s face during their recent Bora Bora vacation. But the mother of two revealed she often contemplates when to safeguard her children’s privacy, especially when it comes to social media.
“That was a struggle,” Berry toldExtraabout her decision to show Maceo-Robert’s face on Instagram. “I really don’t like to show my kids very much … but I do realize … my people are, like, solid for me and me for them and I feel like I want to include them.”
She added, “But it’s a fine line because I don’t want to exploit my children … I want to protect my children, so I thought, ‘Half the face is good.'”

“I don’t post Sid‘s face bc my account is public and not only do I not want him recognized, harassed or interrupted in his daily life,” shewrote on Instagramrecently. “I also don’t think its fair to expose him without his knowledge and understanding.”
Continuing, Mollen — who shares sons Lazlo, 6 months, and Sid with husband Jason Biggs — explained that she chooses to share photos of her younger son because he “is still just a head, doesn’t leave the house and is morphing on a daily basis.”
“But soon I will be blocking his face too,” she added. “Thanks for understanding.”
