I also wanted to keep the kids as sheltered as we could from the paparazzi, and that scene is still very prevalent in L.A.; it's not bad in New York, and it's zero up where we live.” Mabel is living a beautiful and memorable childhood life as evidenced by her mother’s Instagram page. Her favorite activities are playing in the backyard, piano recitals, bowling, and attending Broadway shows. The ten-year-old also finds giving her dad dance lessons a fun activity.
