Gwyneth Paltrow is having a roller-coaster of a year, from fighting lawsuits to now going on a social media break. She recently announced that she’ll be going on social media hiatus to her 8 million Instagram followers, which is not all that shocking since Paltrow seems to be a private person. Exhibit A, the media know little to nothing about her two children, because of how well the 50-year-old has protected their privacy.

She expressed her wish to keep her two kids, Apple, and Moses out of the public eye. She explained, “I try to keep them out of the public eye as much as possible. You know, now it’s different.” The 50-year-old spoke about how her children now want to have a Youtube channel, and her answer is always, “No, you can’t. Absolutely not.” The actress added that as a parent all she wants to do is teach her kids “right from wrong.”
