Youll very rarely see a picture of Nicole Richies two children on Instagram and thats because she purposely chooses to keep them away from the spotlight.

The 37-year-old is mum to daughter Harlow, 11, and son Sparrow, 10, whom she shares with her long-term love and Good Charlotte star Joel Madden.

And while both Nicole and Joel lead their lives in the public eye, theyre hoping they can keep things more private when it comes to their children.

Neither Joel or Nicole regularly post photos of Harlow and Sparrow on social media and if the odd Instagram snap does come up, its usually a birthday post or a tribute to the other on Mothers Day and Fathers Day.
