Inside Nara Smith's Family World With Husband Lucky Blue Smith

Nara Smith and Lucky Blue Smith Say Welcoming Baby No. 4 “Has Been an Adjustment"

Nara Smith knows there's no such thing as a picture-perfect life.

The 24-year-old model—who shares four children with husband Lucky Blue Smith—found influencer fame with TikToks in which she's impeccably dressed while whipping up mouthwatering dishes and household items like candles from scratch, all set to her own dulcet narration. But her latest update was a raw look at what's been happening with her family behind the scenes.

Nara has shared that her daughter Whimsy Lou, 2, was diagnosed with cancer toward the end of last year, not long after she gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Fawnie Golden. She and Lucky also share daughter Rumble Honey, 5, and son Slim Easy, 3, plus he's dad to daughter Gravity, 8, with ex Stormi Bree.

“Processing this and navigating all of this as a family has been really hard,” Nara said in a July 1 video. “A lot of you have probably realized I’ve been posting a little bit less and this is the reason why. Having found all of this out and navigating this while postpartum, also loving and caring for our other kids at home, also being in the hospital with Whimsy a lot and balancing work on top of that has been really challenging."

Not least because she's known for creating scenes of domestic bliss, harmonious tableaux with an effortless vibe but that also beg the question, how is she doing that?

"Keep going and doing what you love," Nara advised on a July 2025 episode of On Purpose With Jay Shetty, "and essentially something is going to stick at some point."

But though her rise to online stardom has felt meteorically fast, Nara pointed out that she's been on Instagram since she was 13 (and, shh, claimed to be 14 so she could start posting) and she has no idea why a video of Lucky cutting an apple went viral two years ago.

Originally she was sprinkling in food content amid fashion and beauty videos—morning routines, outfits of the day, etc.—but her cooking demos have since become the main course.

Her first viral cooking video featured her making bread, butter and peach jam—all from scratch—for her kids, she said on On Purpose. And, she recalled, "the voice was more present because my baby was sleeping next to me."

The voice is the soft, mellow ASMR monotone she uses to describe what she's doing, whether that's whipping up dippin' dots in the middle of the night or demonstrating which Chanel products she uses to freshen her skin on the go.

"Whether it’s a meal idea, or a home-cooked meal I’ve made my toddler, or my soothing voice, or whatever it is," she told GQ in 2024, "I just put content out there to inspire people."

What was a legitimate whirlwind, however, was Nara's road to building a family with Lucky.

Born Nara Pellmann, she was 18 when the Utah-born model slid into her DMs toward the end of 2019, after which they exchanged numbers and started texting.

Then 21, Lucky was "the crappiest texter," Nara cracked on On Purpose, but their first phone call lasted for seven hours. They talked every day despite Lucky being in Los Angeles and Nara in Germany, where the South African-born model grew up.

Two weeks after their first call, they found out they were scheduled to be at the same fashion show in Milan.

On the same day they met in person, Lucky asked her to be his girlfriend (she warned him she was going to take his offer very seriously), and on the day he met her parents, he asked Nara's father for permission to marry her. She then flew out to L.A. to meet his parents, they got engaged two weeks later and, two months after that, they got married in February 2020.

"It was so crazy, so quick," she acknowledged, "but so great, and now here we are five years later."

Meanwhile, Rumble Honey was born on Oct. 7, 2020.

Having their first child, Nara said, "was really us learning how to communicate better, how to be there for each other, how to be less stubborn, how to be more loving and compassionate."

She wasn't hankering to become a mom but, once she met Lucky, Nara said, "that's when everything clicked."

Slim was born Jan. 6, 2022, and then Whimsy arrived on April 8, 2024.

Nara revealed that she was pregnant with baby No. 4 in June 2025, later quipping in a TikTok that it was "getting harder to name children," but she'd be sticking with the two-words-that-go-together formula.

They announced Oct. 11 that the newly renovated Connecticut farmhouse they moved into last year was a little fuller.

"She’s here!" Nara wrote on Instagram, introducing Fawnie Golden. "Welcome to the world little angel."

She had planned to give birth at home, calmly intoning in a Sept. 21 TikTok as the space started coming together, "It's time to get everything ready."

Meanwhile, with Nara having admitted that her latest pregnancy was a surprise, Lucky told People in March that they both thought they were "really done after three."

“And to be honest," the 27-year-old added, "four has been an adjustment.”

But while it was "really tricky to navigate," Lucky said, he and Nara were “finally hitting our stride with it.”

But while this might all sound very tradwife on its face, Nara said she was baffled when someone called her life "traditional," because she wasn't trying to fit into any historic mold when she became a mom at 19.

"I'm like, 'What do you mean?!'" she said on On Purpose. "We split chores. I work, my husband works, we have children, we split everything. I cook because I love to, not because I have to, and Lucky cleans."

The idea that she was trying to set some sort of example "never even crossed my mind," she continued, "because I've always been such a believer in having people make their own choices and never judging someone else based on how they choose to live their life."

But if anyone's inspired to slip on a curve-hugging lace gown and throw together homemade orange chicken after watching Nara make it look impossibly easy, so be it.

"It's just me being in the kitchen sharing my love of cooking," she explained, "but also wearing outfits that you probably typically wouldn't wear in the kitchen."

Let alone without an apron.

And Nara is grateful for the online community she has found as she navigates her daughter's cancer treatment, as well as the outpouring of good wishes coming from the countless people already invested in her journey.

“We wanted to share this to hopefully bring someone else that comfort—or even hopefully incentivize you to go check something out that you’ve been avoiding,” Nara said in her July 1 update. “I hope that by sharing this I can bring someone a little bit of comfort  and make you feel a little less alone on your journey—whatever that may be."

And no one battling cancer is alone. See all the celebrities who've been through it:
