Temi Otedola

Temi Otedola, has revealed that she does not plan to post her child on social media, citing concerns about privacy and the scale of online exposure.

Otedola made the disclosure during a recent episode of the How Far podcast, where she explained that children should not be subjected to public attention they did not choose.

According to her, sharing a child’s image with a small circle of followers differs significantly from posting to a large audience, where content can quickly reach millions and attract widespread engagement.

“Posting your kid when you have a 100 followers and 1M followers isn’t same thing, the interest is different,” she said.

The Citation actress noted that she has observed how children’s content online often attracts high levels of engagement, including large numbers of saves, which she finds unsettling.

“I see kids content on TikTok with 30k saves and ask myself who’s actually saving this,” she added.

Based on these concerns, Otedola said she has decided that her child will not be part of her public image or online content, emphasising the importance of allowing children to grow outside the pressures of public scrutiny.

“I won’t post my child cause it’s not part of my public brand. I am not going to integrate my child into my public life because they haven’t chosen to be public,” she stated.

Otedola, who is married to musician Mr Eazi, is currently expecting their first child together.

The couple announced the pregnancy in May through a joint social media post, months after their wedding celebrations, which took place across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland in 2025.

Her comments add to a growing conversation among public figures about the ethics of sharing children’s lives online, particularly in an era where social media content can spread rapidly and remain accessible indefinitely.

Observers say more celebrities are beginning to draw boundaries between their public personas and private family life, especially when it comes to protecting minors from unsolicited attention.

While some public figures continue to share family moments online, others, like Otedola, are choosing a more guarded approach to parenting in the digital age.

Her stance reflects increasing awareness around digital privacy and the long-term implications of online exposure for children growing up in a highly connected world.
