Model and content creator Nara Smith, who is married to model Lucky Blue Smith, recently took to social media to address questions surrounding her fourth pregnancy, offering candid insight into her decision to have a larger family at a young age.
'No, I'm not having this many kids because I'm Mormon,' she told her followers.
'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.'
Often referred to as a 'tradwife', she is already mom to Rumble Honey, 4, Slim Easy, 3, and Whimsy Lou, 14 months.

'I did a lot of the things that people in their 20s do when I was a teenager,' the 23-year-old added.
'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.'
However, as the young mom revealed, she and Lucky were surprised by their latest baby news.
'This was a surprise baby,' Nara shared.
'I said I was totally done after our last one. Whimsy is only just about over a year, I guess it was meant to be.'
She also told her followers more about how far along she is in her pregnancy.
'I'm about 6 months now,' she continued. 'Which is crazy to say. And no, I didn't pre-record any of my videos. It's just good angles, outfits and sucking in my stomach.'
'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,' she added.
'And me personally, I had to get used to the idea as well of having another kid since I mentally prepped to be done after Whimsy.'
She added that they are going to keep the details of the sex of the baby private.
'I'm so excited,' she shared. 'And we do know the gender. I'm probably not going to announce it before the baby is born.'
Nara also shared that she is going to do another home birth and noted that aside from a few symptoms, all in all, this has been her 'easiest pregnancy.'
And as for having extra hands in the kitchen, or with her children, Nara shut down speculation that she has a 'team' helping her with her family.
'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 travelling or when it's too much, and the workload is piling up. So, we're kind of managing it like that.'

Coco speaks out on her fallout with Nozipho Ntshangase
Former The Mommy Club star Nozipho Ntshangase's stepdaughter, Coco, is trending after dropping explosive details about her strained relationship with her. Coco left tongues wagging after taking to Instagram to post a selfie with her new stepmother, Misokuhle. The 25 year old recently married her father, Zola Ntshangase in a stunning traditional and white wedding. On The Mommy Club , Nozipho opened up about how deeply hurt she was by Zola's decision to take a second wife. She shared that she didn't support the idea of a polygamous marriage and chose to walk away. Coco's post sparked harsh criticism from former Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) star Ameigh Thompson, who appeared to suggest that you can't change a child you didn't birth. The remark didn't sit well with Coco, who has since released a statement addressing Thompson's comments. She further opened up about her complex relationship with her stepmother. Coco shared that she moved in with Nozipho in 2023, but their dynamic has since changed. 'Regarding my relationship with Mama (Nozipho), things have changed. The last time we spoke was when I told her I'll be attending the wedding, and after that, there was silence.' Coco stated their father didn't suddenly decide to marry again but they were misled, but now they know the truth. She hinted that certain details were hidden and implied that the whole story is not yet public knowledge. She believes that one day, her brothers will also speak out and share their side of the story. Coco said attending her father's wedding to Misokuhle was entirely their decision; no one forced them. She said they chose to attend the wedding because they genuinely wanted to support their father. 'We went because we love our father deeply and genuinely wanted to support hmi, during this time. It wasn't about choosing sides, it was about showing love to our parents, simply,' she said. DO YOU THINK COCO WAS WRONG FOR SHARING THE SELFIE?

Is Beyoncé's Levi's campaign teasing her new album? The Beyhive reacts
Beyoncé has ignited excitement among fans with her latest Levi's campaign, hinting at the much-anticipated 'Act III' of her album trilogy. Image: X This is not a drill, Beyoncé has dropped more easter eggs about 'Act III' of her trilogy albums, igniting fresh speculation among the Beyhive following the release of her latest campaign for Levi's. The short film, titled 'Chapter 4: The Denim Cowboy', was posted by Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé's company, on August 4 and features her wearing 'denim on denim' outfits. The campaign marks the fourth instalment in Beyoncé's ongoing collaboration with Levi's and showcases her navigating a range of classic Americana settings. From riding a horse into town, doing laundry in a laundromat, and eventually speeding away on a motorcycle dressed in rhinestone-studded denim. The ad's visual storytelling, combined with the division into three parts, which are 'The Ice', 'The Heat' and 'The Smoke', has led many to believe it contains references to the three-part album project Beyoncé previously teased.

Next Stay Close ✕ Beyoncé's "Renaissance" (2022) and "Cowboy Carter" (2024) have been understood to be Acts I and II of a trilogy. With her country-focused "Cowboy Carter" era officially ending after the close of her tour last month, fans are interpreting this latest Levi's spot as a symbolic transition into the third act, which could potentially be a rock album. The shift in aesthetic is also fueling this theory. While Beyoncé begins the campaign in traditional denim as well as western wear, she ends it in a striking glam-rock ensemble. Beyoncé stuns in new 'Denim Cowboy' ad for Levi's. — Pop Base (@PopBase) August 4, 2025 She's also wearing bold make-up and heavily styled clothing, suggesting a significant genre transition. Fans have pointed out that the transition from horse to motorcycle could represent a narrative evolution: from the themes of country to the raw energy of rock. One fan account on X @beyoncegarden wrote: 'BEYONCÉ ARRIVING ON A HORSE & LEAVING ON A MOTORCYCLE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE— ACT 3 IS COMING, GET UP 😭😭😭😭.' BEYONCÉ ARRIVING ON A HORSE & LEAVING ON A MOTORCYCLE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE— ACT 3 IS COMING, GET UP😭😭😭😭😭 — 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) August 4, 2025 Another X user @KevCoke6 commented: 'I didn't even realise that Beyoncé's Levi's ad was teasing the transition from country to rock. Horse to motorcycle 🤔.' I didn't even realize that Beyoncé/Levi's ad was teasing the transition from country to rock. Horse to motorcycle 🤔 — kevikev (@KevCoke6) August 4, 2025 This interpretation is further supported by Beyoncé's recent public appearances and editorial work, which have included nods to rock icons such as Prince and Betty Davis, as well as fashion choices that align with 1970s and 1980s glam rock styling. Though Beyoncé has not officially confirmed the release of 'Act III' or provided details on its genre or timing, the Levi's campaign has become a focal point for speculation.
