We all value our privacy, but in today's world where the paparazzi, social media and the ability to purchase drones that could be easily be used by celebrity fanatics to spy on their favorite stars, this has become a sad-but-true reality.

We've seen the lengths that power couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have gone to, to keep their pregnancy under wraps. Now, with the arrival of a new baby girl, how does the couple plan on dodging the invasive paparazzi once again?

While People confirmed Mendes' pregnancy in July, the couple kept her baby bump hidden as best as they could amid the media speculation. Mendes also dodged the truth in earlier interviews, including one with Ellen DeGeneres.

Mendes, 40, also reportedly "kept a low profile during her pregnancy, making her last red carpet appearance at a Violet Grey dinner honoring the late Elizabeth Taylor in LA on Feb. 26," according to Us Weekly.

"After news broke, she went to considerable lengths to cover up her baby bump with several pieces of clothing and a large bag while leaving a parking structure in LA on June 10. Gosling, 33, meanwhile, quietly stepped out to pump his own gas in LA on Aug. 5."

"It (the birth of their daughter) was very emotional for Eva and Ryan," said an insider," E! Online reports. "They were both in tears when they saw their daughter for the first time!"

The Hollywood duo has managed to keep their three-year courtship (that began back in 2011 during the filming of "The Place Beyond the Pines") and their pregnancy low-key, but what measures will they have to take next as their child grows up?

Maybe they will take some cues from other Hollywood stars who have suffered behind the lens.

We've seen anti-paparazzi trailblazers, such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, Adele and Angelina Jolie, who have gone to great lengths to protect their children from the harsh, intrusive cameras that are shoved into their faces.

Back in 2013, a bill aimed to deter paparazzi from getting too close to the children of celebrities was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in Sacramento, E! Online reported.

Both Berry and Garner testified on behalf of Senate Bill 606, "which increases the possible punishment for harassing celebrity kids-and clarifies the legal definition of harassment in such cases.

"Now, according to the office of state Sen. Kevin de León, who sponsored the bill, harassment includes "conduct in the course of the actual or attempted recording of children's images and/or voices, without express parental consent, by following their activities or lying in wait."

However, "transmitting, publishing or broadcasting a child's image and/or voice does not constitute a violation."

"Now if convicted of harassing a minor who has been targeted based on his or her parent's employment (i.e. famous actor, singer, personality, et al.), they can spend up to a year in jail instead of the previous maximum six months, and be fined $10,000 for their first violation, $20,000 for their second and up to $30,000 for their third," E! Online added.

Pop star Britney Spears, actress Lindsay Lohan, singer Justin Bieber and actress Amanda Bynes have been notoriously hounded by the Paparazzi. While they are not children, they have been subjected to some serious intrusion in the past.

It's been 17 years, but we can never forget the traumatic news of the death of the beloved Princess Diana and Egyptian film producer Dodi Al-Fayed that allegedly involved a high-speed chase when their driver was allegedly trying to flee the Paparazzi. The driver also reportedly had a high level of alcohol in his system as well, however.

So when looking back at the "track record" of the invasive Paparazzi, the deaths and the anguish pitted against the determination of fellow Hollywood celebs, can you blame Mendes and Gosling for protecting what's most precious to them?
