The rapper shares three kids, RZA, 3, Riot, 2, and Rocki, 1 month, with his partner Rihanna.
Keira Knightley is attempting to keep her kids off social media for as long as possible.
The actress opened up about her stance on children using social media during an interview with BBC Radio 4 this week. She shares two daughters, Edie, 10, and Delilah, 6, with her husband of 12 years, musician James Righton. While her girls may be a little young for social media, Knightley is already on high alert in keeping them off of it.
"I think the answer is that nobody's got the answer. I find it very terrifying because they’re unregulated spaces," she told presenter Anna Foster. "And I think for children, unregulated spaces are ones I want to protect them from. So in our house, we’ve got a no social media thing. They’re not allowed on devices if we can’t see what they’re looking at, then they're not allowed on them."
"I don't know if that's right," she continued, admitting that she doesn't know how long she can keep the social media ban going.
Foster then pointed out that peer pressure makes it tough when all the other kids are on social media and might want to know why hers are not.
"We haven't had that yet, we're at one of the schools that is doing that social media free childhood," she said. "The parents mostly all do the same thing. So I think most of the parents in the school, there was a big push and most of us are in agreement that that's the way forward that we want to go."
But obviously, not everybody, because it is an issue that divides lots of people," Knightley explained. "So, you try and kind of go, 'OK, at this play date, what are you gonna see, what are you not going to see?' And I think it's great to have a group of parents where you can be open and you can have those conversations, and that's what you hope."
"But that's not the case everywhere. I think that is the case at our school more in that particular age group, but I think again, I think that could change from year group to year group," she said, adding that she would love it if the schools were to provide some regulation so that it didn't all fall on the parents.
Many parents are divided on what age is appropriate for kids to be on social media. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until children are at least 13 years old before allowing them to join social media accounts such as Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, which is also the minimum age most platforms require.
