Lara Worthington Explains 11-Year Spotlight Vanish

and husband Sam are notoriously private when it comes to their kids – and it's been by design.

The Aussie power couple – who share sons Rocket Zot, 11, Racer, nine, and River, six – knew from the get-go they wanted to keep their children out of the spotlight so they could have a normal upbringing. 

'I think privacy is mostly a choice. It was always our choice to not put our kids out there from day dot,' she told nine.com.au on Thursday. 

'They're older now. Like my son, Rocket, he's 11, and it's nice. 

'They can always choose what they want to do later, but I think for the decade that they were babies, I think it's nice to protect them as much as you can,' she continued. 

Lara and Sam began dating in 2013  

The couple welcomed Rocket on March 24, 2015 in Los Angeles.

Racer was born in New York in October 2016 approximately 18 months later.

The genetically–blessed duo secretly welcomed River in June 2020.  

The family are now based in New York, but Lara says she'll always be Australian at heart. 

'I still have an Australian passport. I’m still Australian!' she said.

Lara previously told The Daily Telegraph that the couple are enjoying growing old together.

'We've only got each other. Sam and I are a good team,' she said.

'We're both Australians and we have the same values. We come at our children as a team... I think that's really important.'
