Kerry Washington has been notoriously private about her family life. We know she’s married but she doesn’t speak about her marriage to former footballer turned actor Nnamdi Asomugha, not even to squash breakup rumors. In 2016, she famously said on a New Rules of Social Stardom panel:
“If I don’t talk about my personal life, it means I don’t talk about my personal life. That means not only did I not tell you when I was getting married, it also means if somebody has rumors about what’s going on in my marriage, I don’t refute them, because I don’t talk about my personal life.”
We know she birthed two children. There were birth announcements and might occasionally catch her telling a little anecdote about her children. Then last year, she revealed that she’s a mother of three as she also works to parent a 12-year-old daughter from Asomugha’s previous relationship
With so much privacy, the internets have been waiting to get even a glimpse of Washington’s children. And interestingly enough, after nearly 6 years, there is a little peek. Check out what the internet revealed.

Asomugha, who is Nigerian, seemed to be celebrating with his side of the family, who wore traditional Nigerian attire, including coral beads, geles for the women and kufis for the men.

In the discovery of this picture, people commented on the remarkability of Washington being able to hide her children from public view for so long. See what they had to say on the following pages.
Kerry Washington did one hell of a job hiding her kids

I think I love celebs like Kerry Washington & Beyoncé because they are so private. Kerry literally has never shown her babies. Beyoncé gives us only pieces after they have happened. Private life= happy life

Kerry Washington hid 3 kids. I hid mine for the first 6 months of his life and it was an issue. Tuh.

Kerry Washington's kids about to enter college and we've seen them a total of three times. Good on her.
