Like any mom, Kerry Washington<\/a><\/strong> is looking out for her kids. <\/p>\n

The Golden Globe-nominated actress is known for her many beloved on-screen works, but when it comes to her family life, the public is kept at arm’s length. Washington, who has been married to retired football pro<\/a> Nnamdi Asomugha<\/strong> since 2013, is mom to their 5-year-old daughter Isabelle <\/strong>and 3-year-old son Caleb<\/strong>. In 2018, she called herself a “mother of three” during a Today<\/em> interview, which according to a source, was in reference to her stepchild<\/a> as Asomugha reportedly also has a daughter from a previous relationship. <\/p>\n

Considering the pair rarely discuss their children and have never brought them in front of the cameras, little is known about their youngsters\u2014and that’s not by accident. <\/p>\n

In a newly published interview with InStyle<\/a><\/em>, the actress told the magazine she was “really, really vigilant” about keeping her kids out of the spotlight early. <\/p>\n

“These are their lives. But it’s not about pulling a Rapunzel and hiding them away in a castle from the world\u2014we don’t want to do that,” she told the magazine. “I think any parent would want to keep kids from a situation that causes them to feel scared. I don’t want them to be exploited, particularly in this social-media world.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Keeping her little ones under wraps is hard even for the star, who previously shared<\/a> how she handles the urge to post snaps of her kiddos. <\/p>\n

“I have moments where I take pictures or videos of one of my three amazing kids and I want to post it online, and I tend to just send it to my parents or to my shrink instead,” Washington told Today<\/em>‘s Willie Geist<\/strong>. “I’m like, ‘My kids are so cute and I don’t want to post about them, so look at how cute they are!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

However, Washington did drop one new detail about her kids\u2014they like to swim!<\/p>\n

“My husband teased me that if I did the [DNA test] 23andMe, it would come back 11 percent mermaid,” she told InStyle<\/em>. “My kids are the same way. They’re just fish.”<\/p>\n

The March issue of InStyle is available for sale on Feb. 14. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
