Since she gave birth, fans have been asking for a photo of her son and in usual celeb fashion, Risper shared a photo of her son’s hand, which is a popular pattern among most celebrities who give us a shot of their children’s hands or back before they finally unveil the face.

However, it seems that Risper Faith is not unveiling her son soon to protect him from cruel people on the internet.

Brenda Wairimu

Risper Faith is not the only celebrity who has misgivings about posting her child. Actress Brenda Wairimu doesn’t want to make her daughter’s face public in case she grows up to be a private person and wants a quiet life away from the publicity of her famous parents.
