Influencer and advocate Jordan Lambropoulos refuses to post baby twin girls online

Influencer and advocate Jordan Lambropoulos has decided not to post her baby twin girls to her over 100,000 social media followers. Find out why.

Despite sharing her life with 120,000 online followers, influencer and Crohn’s disease advocate Jordan Lambropoulos has decided to keep her newborn twin girls off the internet.

Indigo Meadow and Capri Dai­sy were born via emergency caesarean section on January 14.

Ms Lambropoulos, who has battled Crohn’s disease since the age of nine, was told she would be infertile following a life-changing stem-cell transplant in 2023.

However, she became pregnant naturally in what she called an “absolute miracle”.

“The last three weeks have made the last 26 weeks of hell absolutely worth it,” the 26-year-old, of Adelaide, said.

Ms Lambropoulos, who has 95,000 followers on TikTok and 25,000 on Instagram, shares intimate parts of her life online but has decided to keep her daughters’ faces and other details about them off social media.

“I’ve always felt that if I were to have children, their stories aren’t my stories to share, and while I can share my experiences on the internet in regards to motherhood with a chronic illness, their lives are not necessarily mine to be putting on the internet,” she said.

Ms Lambropoulos said she didn’t judge others who posted their children online, but believed she had made the right decision.

“I do feel like in this generation, we are seeing a lot of children growing up on the internet and being put on social media, which is a new thing,” she said.

“We’re seeing children whose lives are basically being put on the internet from the day they are born, and we don’t know the implications of that yet.

“We don’t know how those children are going to feel about that in the coming years and as they grow up.

“We are naive to take that chance.

“They can’t consent to having their images published.

“You can always choose to change your mind and put your children on the internet at a later date, but once you’ve put them out there, you can’t take that back.”

Ms Lambropoulos said her decision was not only limited to not wanting to share her children’s lives, she was also concerned about their safety.

Having studied computer science at university, she was aware of the dangers of posting images of children online.

“I don’t think I would feel comfortable knowing that there’s a stranger whose saved a photo of my child,” she said.

Ms Lambropoulos said predators searched for child-abuse material on social media, and content that seemed innocent could be abuse material.

“It’s literally handed to them on a platter,” she said.

“The knowledge that these people do exist, and we can’t completely eradicate that behaviour on the internet, I think all I can do is protect my children and keep their images off the internet.”

Indigo and Capri are still being monitored in a neonatal intensive care unit, with Ms Lambropoulos visiting them each day.
