Hollywood couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have always made sure that their daughter's identity is kept private. More than a year after the baby's birth, the parents of Wyatt have yet to reveal their little girl's face in public as no photos of her have appeared in entertainment news. But could Ashton be changing his stance?
The actor surprised his Instagram followers Sunday when he shared a photo of a baby girl. Although her back was turned and her face was only partly revealed in the camera as she looked up and pointed to the sky, Ashton's followers quickly assumed this girl was Wyatt. The photo carried a caption which indicated nothing about the child's identity, but Ashton wanted to draw the public's attention to the interactive art just below the girl. It showed streaks of red sand on the pavement's cracks.
"39 million people have fallen through the cracks into modern day slavery. #redsandproject," Ashton wrote in the caption, which is apparently in reference to the Red Sand Project. The actor is a supporter of the said cause that is spearheaded by artist Molly Gochman, per People. The idea behind it is "to remind us that we can't merely walk over the most marginalized people in our communities - those who fall through the metaphoric cracks."
Elle reported that Ashton is using the photo to raise awareness to human trafficking. Hollywood Life reported that the actor is a staunch advocate of a lot of causes and is setting a good example for influencing his daughter early.
The actor remained tight-lipped about the baby's identity, but it has indeed created a buzz and is sending the right message.
"I thought this was a pic of their baby but then yeah why not talk about slavery," wrote one of Ashton's Instagram followers in the comments.
"The "fuss" isn't about Wyatt at all (although cute) read into things a little more. It's raising awareness for the forgotten. Human trafficking is real, and we as a society need to find what we're passionate about and make a change, get noticed, make a difference! Kudos little Wyatt, we hear you loud and clear!" said another fan.
Meanwhile, it should be recalled that Ashton lashed out on the media about her daughter's privacy back in May when he wrote on his Twitter, "Why is it so hard for publications to respect that I would like the identity of my child kept private for safety reasons? Pls honor that."
