Part of being famous comes with the expectation of saying goodbye to certain aspects of privacy. That includes loved ones, especially kids, who are often photographed and sought after just as much as their famous parents. Some celebrities have chosen to do their best to keep their children out of the public eye, and some have gone to great lengths to ensure that the privacy of their babies isn't violated.
