Gigi Hadid asks paparazzi and fans to blur daughter Khai's face in photos "to respect her privacy"
The model wrote an open letter on Twitter, hoping that her request and that of her partner Zayn Malik would be accepted and she then thanked the photographers for her behavior during one of her first trips to New York with the child.
With an open letter posted on her Twitter profile, Gigi Hadid asked paparazzi, press and fan accounts to blur daughter Khai's face in the photos so that the little girl - who the model got from boyfriend Zayn Malik - can enjoy "the sight of people walking the streets of New York, without having to face the media circus that breaks out when you have two famous parents".
Since her birth last September, Hadid and her partner have always kept the little girl's face hidden both in social posts and in public releases, but recently something has changed, thanks to the frequent trips of the family to the Big Apple (they usually live on a farm in Pennsylvania) and, above all, the child's changing needs. "During a recent visit to New York, Khai began to want me to lift the sunshade of the stroller, as she is used to doing at home and even helped herself - the model wrote in the long post -. She doesn't understand why she has to stay covered or what she wants to protect her from and she wants me to show her the most incredible city in the world. "
Hence the request to photographers, the press and fan sites to blur the girl's face in the photographs in which it is visible. "Our desire is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she is of age and that she can live a childhood that is as normal as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen," Hadid continued. who then concluded the social outburst by thanking some paparazzi for the behavior they had during one of his first New York trips with Khai, when they kept a respectful distance from her and her daughter. However, the model is not the first celebrity to want to keep their children's faces hidden to safeguard their privacy: Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have done so for years, while Channing only recently. Tatum has unveiled on Instagram the face of his daughter Everly (had by ex-wife Jenna Dewan), who is now 8 years old.
