As a long-time admirer of Nara Smith and her family, I must say that their journey resonates deeply with me. The way they navigate their lives, balancing work, family, and partnership, is truly inspiring. It’s refreshing to see a couple who value their roles as parents and homemakers without succumbing to stereotypes or expectations.
As a gamer (or content creator), I’ve been captivated by Nara Smith, the former model turned TikToker, who has garnered millions of views with her videos showcasing DIY recipes for snacks and home essentials, ranging from bubblegum to toothpaste. In every TikTok, she shares about creating these labor-intensive items while maintaining a stylish appearance, all in the name of providing for her children and husband, fellow model Lucky Blue Smith. Recently, Nara has been labeled as the emblem of the new wave of “tradwives” online—a title she never sought. However, it’s not a role I’d reject either, given the opportunity to share my creative process with others!
In an unusual conversation, Nara clarified misconceptions about her private life during an interview with GQ magazine.
Contrary to speculations by viewers that her TikTok content is merely a performance and she doesn’t genuinely perform household chores as a housewife, Nara asserted that she and her husband are not pretending or putting up a facade.
“She explained to the media that while people may perceive her household as having numerous staff like housekeepers, cleaners, nannies, etc., in truth, it’s only my partner and I who desire a family, and we simply share our life online.”
The family has reduced the number of household helpers, primarily relying on a nanny for minimal weekly hours. Instead of Nara single-handedly managing all child-rearing tasks, she now splits these responsibilities with her partner. Every evening, they collaborate to create a daily care plan for their child, ensuring that both household chores and parenting duties are equally distributed between them.
“Nara clarified that it’s not about feeling pressured to immediately prepare a meal for Lucky because he might get upset,” she said. “Instead, we consider our relationship as a joint effort in every part of our lives,” Lucky agreed. “When she takes care of the meals…”, he continued.
“He does cleanup,” Nara said. “Which I’m grateful for, because I hate that part.”
Regarding the allegation that she encourages other women to conform to traditional female roles through her actions, Nara clarified that she doesn’t intend to promote a harmful message. “I’m not asserting that this is the norm or something people must do in order to fit a certain mold,” Nara explained. “Be it a meal idea, a home-cooked meal for my child, a calming voice, or anything else I share, I simply post content to motivate others. People are free to interpret and apply whatever they choose from my posts.”
A different allegation leveled against Nara and Lucky involves claims they subtly promote their religious beliefs in their TikTok videos as a Mormon couple. However, Nara clarified, “I’m definitely not doing that.” For her, personal faith is an intimate matter that she doesn’t wish to impose on others, stating, “I’ve never done it and I never will. It seems absurd to me that people think so.”
Apart from her homemaking content, Nara has faced criticism due to being a young mom at the age of 22. As an influencer, she already has three children with her husband and is also a stepmother to Lucky’s first child, who is from a previous relationship between Lucky Blue and former Miss Teen USA Stormi Bree Henley. Lucky made news as a teen father at 19. Although some people assumed that Lucky Blue encouraged his young spouse to become a mother prematurely, Nara claims it was her personal choice.
“When Lucky was quite young, Gravity seemed effortless for her, leading her to feel prepared for parenthood. She envisioned that by the time she turned 40, her children would be 20, allowing them to mature side by side. She desired a shared growth experience, constructing her life around them instead of adjusting her life later to accommodate them. Fortunately, it proved to be a wonderful choice, and she cherishes her role as a young mother.”
At this point, Nara has decided not to expand her family beyond one child, as she put it, “We’ve reached our limit with Whimsy.” She added humorously that managing toddlers serves as an effective natural form of birth control due to their energetic and unpredictable nature.
