Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen celebrated his daughter Haly's birthday but blurred her pictures in his social media post.

Osimhen fathered Haly with his girlfriend, Stephanie Ladewig, in 2022. The two have been in a relationship for an unspecified time, having kept their affair private.

The partners don't follow each other on any social media and avoid any public interaction, further highlighting how much they literally keep their private lives private.

Why Osimhen blurs daughter’s pictures

One noticeable thing about the Napoli star sharing his daughter's pictures is that he doesn't reveal her face. He either posts a side or back view or sometimes covers it with an emoji.

This is a trend followed by most celebrities to protect their children's privacy on social media amidst battles with paparazzi who follow them in public places.

According to ABC News, blurring helps prevent web crawling and stops social media platforms’ algorithms from recognising important details about your children.
