Kristen shared a picture on her Instagram from a pool party she hosted, and posed in a bikini with her entire family, including a shirtless Dax behind her and her kids in front of her.
What stuck out was that she'd hidden Lincoln and Delta's faces with an emoji, specifically that of the cool guy wearing sunglasses.

Fans filled the comments section with praise for the actress and her approach towards privacy. One fan wrote, "Love and appreciate [that] you keep your kids' faces blocked. They didn't ask for the fame."
Another agreed, writing, "I have so much respect for stars who consider the well being of their children and make it a point to respect their boundaries even when they can't express at such a small age."

Kristen and Dax were even part of the group that helped spearhead the "No Kids Policy," which restricts the paparazzi's ability to photograph the children of celebrities, preferring to limit the appearance of her kids in the media to her own feed.
