Earlier this year, Penelope opened up on how she'll be keeping her children out of the limelight, and wanting them to be 'as anonymous as possible'.

'I want my son and my kids - if I have more - to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible,' she revealed in an interview.

'The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work we do doesn't give anybody the right to invade our privacy.'
