Although Shaughna has been quite vocal about her personal life on social media, she explained that she doesn’t plan on sharing her newborn with the world.

‘I don’t plan on not sharing them,’ she added to OK! magazine.

‘Whether or not that changes once the baby is here and I feel very protective, I don’t know.’
