EALY'S GIRL'S BIG DAY

"When we took this first pic, I knew you had me wrapped around your pretty little finger. I knew that between the two of us, you would be the teacher…"

The star dad's moving caption went on to share that he had fears about being a girl dad because he was scared of being incapable, but all that changed after he got acquainted with his baby girl. More of their snapshots showed their pleasant daddy-daughter relationship.

INSIDE EALY'S FATHERHOOD

When Ealy, who acted in "The Perfect Guy," first welcomed his daughter, he kept her off social media for a while. The doting dad later debuted an eye-catching snapshot of his baby girl's little feet cradled on his hands. Ealy let his baby girl know that he would be there every step of the way.

He stated that keeping things private was the best way to treasure it.

Once in an interview, the TV star shared that fatherhood made him discover new depths of love. He explained that after giving birth to his first child, Elijah, he did not think he had the capability to love another child as much. But the arrival of his daughter proved him wrong.

WHY HE KEEPS IT PRIVATE

In a candid talk with Steve Harvey, Ealy, 47, opened up about his reason for keeping things private. He made it known that he did not understand the rationale behind sharing personal life updates with "complete strangers."

Ealy, who got married to his wife, Khatira Rafiqzad in 2012, kept the news of his union from the public. He also adopted the same style with the birth of his children.

Once speaking during an Essence event, the seasoned actor was asked why he adopts such privacy policies. He stated that keeping things private was the best way to treasure it.

The actor believes that keeping the first few months of fatherhood to himself was ideal because, in that way, he is able to keep off the drama from the public.
