The real reason Kris Smith doesn’t share images of his son Ethan, who he shares with Dannii Minogue 

He’s a doting father to three gorgeous children.

And now, the real reason why model Kris Smith, 41, never shares images of his oldest son Ethan, 10, has been revealed.

On Thursday, Now To Love reported that Kris and Ethan’s mother Danni Minogue, made the decision to not share images of their son to social media so he can ‘have a normal life out of the spotlight’.

Kris also shares two children with his girlfriend of three years, Sarah Boulazeris.

The pair share two daughters – Mila, 19 months, and seven-month-old Frankie.

Kris and Sarah regularly show off their adorable tiny tots to Instagram, which has led to the former footballer being criticised in the past.

In September, Kris was forced to hit back at a fan who asked about the whereabouts of Ethan after he shared a family photo of a then-pregnant Sarah and Mila.

One follower commented: ‘Where is your son? We never see him.’

‘And you never will on here,’ Kris responded. 

Responding to another fan who misspelt his name, the Myer ambassador wrote: ‘Firstly I’m KRIS and secondly because you post about hampers doesn’t give me the right to ask you, “How’s your family? How’s their health, are they in trouble?” Does it?

‘This is a personal page where I post what I like, not what you “think” you can demand.’  

Kris and former X Factor Australia judge Dannii, 48, met in an Ibiza nightclub in 2008 and dated for four years before their split in April 2012.

In 2017, he told Daily Mail Australia that they amicably co-parent their son Ethan.
