For many celebrities, social media is a place to give fans a glimpse into their lives away from the spotlight and this includes sharing images of their children.
Some even grace red carpets with their famous parents or take to the stage with them - think Blue Ivy.
But more and more stars are choosing to shield their offspring from the limelight, making the times they put them front and center, all the more special.
From Hollywood stars such as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, these are the rarest photos of the kids of stars today.

Their son was born in 1994.
She later told Good Housekeeping: "When she [Claudia] came, he and I had only been together for about two months. So we had this child with us right away, and most people don't have that. But I really got to see him in a situation that certainly would separate the boys from the men. Obviously, he really rose to the occasion."
