I’m sure you’ve heard of model and influencer Nara Smith.
The social media star has over 11 million followers on TikTok, and she’s known for slice of life, aka “tradwife” content, with her seductive ASMR voiceovers.
Nara, who’s currently 23 years old, is expecting her fourth child with model and influencer Lucky Blue Smith, 27, and she’s online defending her choice to have so many kids at her age.
In a June 11 GRWM video, Nara answered a few Q&A questions from her followers, one in particular addressing why she and Lucky chose to have so many kids.
“No, I’m not having this many kids because I’m Mormon,” Nara explained. “I’m not Mormon. I just always wanted to be a young mom and do everything while I was really young. And I think that’s just a personal preference for me.”
Nara married Lucky when she was only 20 years old, but explained that how she lived in her teens prepared her for her life as a mother at her current age. “I did a lot of the things that people in their 20s do when I was a teenager,” Nara said. “So now, I felt like I was ready to start a new chapter and do other things, which is being a mom. And I love being a mom and making that choice.”
Nara and Lucky have three children: Rumble Honey, 4, Slim Easy, 3, and Whimsy Lou, 14 months, and now they’re expecting another. In the video, Nara explained that she and Lucky didn’t plan on having another kid after Whimsy Lou. “This was a surprise baby,” she said.
Nara said she was six months pregnant (noting that she used movie magic to conceal her tummy in her recent content) and shared why she waited to share the news. “I waited to share for as long as I feel like I could because I knew that people were going to have all kinds of opinions. And me personally, I had to get used to the idea as well of having another kid since I’m mentally prepped to be done after Whimsy.”
Having multiple children before her 24th birthday works for Nara and her husband because they’ve got the “tag-teaming” down pat. “Lucky and I are really good at tag-teaming,” she said. “We tag-team and really figure out our work schedules and what we have to do. And then the other person takes care of the kids. Then when we’re lucky, family come and help out when we’re both traveling or when it’s too much, and the workload is piling up. So, we’re kind of managing it like that.”
“No, I don’t have a nanny. No I don’t have a whole team helping me. It’s just me, my husband and any family that’s available to help,” she continued.
In my opinion, having four kids under 5 years old before you’re even 24 is a flex because I can’t even take care of two succulents for a month, and I’m twice her age.
Congratulations to Nara and Lucky!
