One of the decisions celebrity parents have to make is whether or not to share their kids on social media. Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum says, “It is funny, I was always saying before I had a kid, I was like, ‘When I have a kid, I’m not going to sit there, and like, constantly put on social media, and I still struggle with if I do it too much. I’m just so proud of everything he does, and I, like, love him so much.”
Especially in the age of cell phones capturing everything on film, Charles says, “There’s just so many moments and you just can’t help yourself. I’m just obsessed with my kid. And he is my little mini-me and it’s just fun. I don’t know. I think when you’re just so proud of something – it’s like you’re proud of music, you’re like, ‘I want as many people to have this music as possible!’ And like, I want as many people look at this kid. He is a genius!”
Not only have the members of Lady Antebellum grown comfortable with sharing their kids with their fans on social media, but all six of their children are the stars of the video for their brand new single, “What I’m Leaving For,” which you can watch now on YouTube.
