A long-standing tradition of keeping newborns away from the public eye is being challenged by a new wave of celebrity parents, who are increasingly choosing to share their children’s images on social media. The latest to join this trend is comedian and digital creator Crazy Kennar, who, along with his girlfriend, recently revealed their baby’s face online.

This act has sparked a broader conversation about the superstitions that have long surrounded baby reveals.

For generations, many parents feared the “evil eye”—the belief that a stranger’s envy could bring bad luck to a child. Other superstitions included fears of spiritual dangers or the use of a baby’s image in witchcraft. In today’s digital world, these beliefs have transformed into modern concerns about trafficking, identity theft, and facial recognition technology. However, celebrities like Kennar are openly pushing back against these fears by normalizing the public sharing of their children’s images.

This shift marks the rise of a new parenting philosophy that values transparency, digital storytelling, and community engagement. Millennial and Gen Z parents are more inclined to celebrate and share milestones with their global audiences, redefining public parenthood from an act of secrecy to one of celebration.

Beyond debunking old myths, this new approach has tangible benefits. Early visibility can allow children to benefit from the goodwill their parents have already built, creating a “digital village” of public admiration and positive energy. In an economy driven by personal branding, a child introduced online can quickly attract commercial opportunities. Celebrity kids are increasingly becoming household names, securing endorsements, modeling jobs, and brand partnerships, which can set the stage for financial stability and legacy-building platforms.
