When the bundle of joy finally arrived, all that was left was for the Home Town's couple Erin 35 and Ben, 37, to show their baby to the world, but fans were not expecting a photo without a face.

While many celebrities thrive on sharing their lives with their online communities, the new parents are not big on sharing their baby's faces on social media, which did not sit well with their eager followers.

However, not everyone was happy that the new parents hid their baby's face and could not wait to remind them that they have been with her throughout her pregnancy journey and had every right to see baby Mae's face. One comment read:

It is not the first time the couple has had to deal with entitled fans who won't respect their choice not to show their babies' faces. In yet another Instagram photo posted on the couple's page, their first daughter, Helen's face, was hidden.

This led to a heated discussion on the issue from her fans, and Erin quickly had to clap back, reminding the commentors that it was their duty as Helen's parents to protect her well-being from predators on social media.

[Diaz] reminded her fans that she wouldn't be sharing any pictures as they wanted to keep that part of their life private.
