The Reason Adam Driver Kept His Son Hidden For Two Years

It's not uncommon for celebrities to want to keep their private life, well, private — especially when it comes to their children. In fact, you might be surprised to learn just how many celebrities have kids nobody knows about. Until October 2019, Adam Driver was one of them. The Marine veteran likened keeping his son a secret to "a military operation." It's an operation that was almost thwarted when eagle-eyed fans spotted "the back of his son's head" in a picture on the Instagram account of his wife's sister in 2018 (via the New Yorker).

So why the need for military-like stealth? Even though his star power is through the roof these days, Driver is still trying to hold onto whatever pieces of privacy that he can. In fact, in addition to being an actor, Driver revealed that he's actually had to take on a second job. "My job is to be a spy — to be in public and live life and have experience," he told the New Yorker. "But, when you feel like you're the focus, it's really hard to do that."

While hosting Saturday Night Live in January 2020, the actor publicly confirmed that he's a dad. "Some facts about me; I'm a husband and a father," Driver said. He continued by joking, "It's in that order though. I've been very clear with my son about that, he's second in everything."

Well, it seems like that's all the insight we're getting for now, but given how notoriously private the actor is, we'll take what we can get.
