She continued: “As all of you know, I have very strong boundaries with social media, especially when it comes to children and what I choose to put out into the world. Thank you so much for honoring that, and for sending positivity and kindness, and LOVE. Some things are too good not to share :).”

Ian also posted the photo on his Instagram grid and asked for fans to send them positivity.
