By Emmanuel Adeleke

Nigerian film maker, Funke Akindele-Bello, has revealed the reasons she hides the faces of her kids.

The movie star made this known during a recent interview with a blogger, Jide Okonjo.

“Don’t you see my home? Don’t you see my husband? Don’t you see the back of my children? How is that one private? The children’s face, is that what you are trying to say? No.”

“When they are old enough, they should show their faces if they want to. But for now, I don’t want them to show their faces. I want them to have their lives and enjoy it,” she said.

According to the actress, she is already in the spotlight and would not want that for her kids.

“Their dad and I are already in the public eye. They are children, don’t forget. They are children. They are vulnerable, so you have to just keep them away, keep them safe.

“Let them go to school, let them enjoy their lives without Ah! that’s Jenifa’s son. That’s JJC’s son. Ah see his leg, see his face. Leave them private!” she said .

Akindele-Bello and her husband, Abdulrasheed Hello, aka JJC Skillz, welcomed their set of twins  in 2018.

The twins were born in Los Angeles, United States of America.
