This news came out back in 2017, but is making waves again due to the holiday season — and the couple getting caught up in the ongoing Diddy investigation. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Mila was the one to announce their unique gifting style for their kids Wyatt, 10, and Dimitri, 8, on Christmas morning:
“So far our tradition is no presents for the kids. We’re instituting it this year because when the kids are [younger than] one, it doesn’t really matter.”
Despite the couple’s net worth being around $275 MILLION — they leave all the gift-giving up to the grandparents:
“Last year when we celebrated Christmas, Wyatt was two and it was too much. We didn’t give her anything — it was the grandparents. The kid no longer appreciates the one gift. They don’t even know what they’re expecting; they’re just expecting stuff.”
But even then, the kiddos’ grandparents are under strict rules:
“We’ve told our parents, ‘We’re begging you — if you have to give her something, pick one gift.’ Otherwise, we’d like to take a charitable donation, to the Children’s Hospital or a pet, whatever you want.’ That’s our new tradition.”
“If you have to give her something” doesn’t really sound like the festive, Yuletide spirit we all know. Plus, ZERO gifts from mom and dad?? Not even ONE??
In another interview on the Kyle and Jackie O Show, Mila also stated she wants her kids to understand:
“Mommy and Daddy may have a dollar, but you’re poor.”
Uh… Yeah. And don’t think all that saved money is going anywhere for the kids, either. The couple reportedly refuse to set up trust funds for Wyatt and Dimitri.
Hmm.. wonder if their gift giving strategy has changed since then? We like to give gifts year-round so it feels less important at Christmas and that way the family can celebrate the true meaning of the holiday. We wonder if that’s how they feel too.
