Adele is one of the most recognised celebrities in the world and her triumphant post-baby return to the spotlight at this week’s Golden Globe Awards only confirmed this.
But while she’s happy to pose for photographers and accept a life of fame, she’s determined to keep her three-month-old son out of the spotlight, refusing to reveal his name.
In an age where some celebrity babies are not only pictured in magazines, but have their own social media accounts and feature in reality TV shows, other stars are still doing their best to keep their family’s private life private.

Adele, Michael Jackson and Julia Roberts all kept their kids out of the spotlight.

Adele has said revealing her son’s name is “too personal”.

Julia Roberts has said protecting her children from paparazzi is “their human right”.

Michael Jackson famously protected his children from press by covering their faces in public.

Halle Berry chose to leave LA to raise four-year-old Nahla out of the public eye.

The Pinkett-Smith kids are no strangers to show business but were all home-schooled.

Demi Moore stepped out of the spotlight for three years to raise her daughters in Idaho.

Bette Middler told her daughter if she went into show business she would never speak to her again.

Jodie Foster has given her two sons very private upbringings.

Notoriously private Harrison Ford is often thought to have no children, but he has five.

Uma Thurman waited seven months to reveal her daughter’s name.
