Popular influencer Nara Smith accused of ‘glamorizing' teen pregnancy
Nara Smith, an influencer known for her 'trad wife' content, has sparked backlash over one of her latest posts.
In honor of Mother's Day, the 23-year-old model – who shares three children with husband Lucky Blue Smith — shared a video Monday on TikTok, hugging one of her children with an on-screen caption that read, 'pov: you decided to have kids at 18 and this is your 5th Mother's Day.'
As of Wednesday evening, her TikTok had received over nine million views. Many people were quick to turn to the comments section to point out that her video came across as her 'glamorizing' teen pregnancy.
The commenters pointed out the cost of having a child and discouraged others from following in Smith's footsteps if they're not financially stable.
'Girlies at 18 you don't have nara smith money so this ain't your sign,' one commenter wrote, while another commenter agreed, writing, 'This is NOT your sign girls…'
'No. DO NOT GET INFLUENCED PLEASE. Finish your college. Get a job. Become financially stable,' another wrote in the comments.
'Nara please don't glamorize this. Happy for you, but your life at 18 is not most teens realities…,' someone else wrote.
The TikToker is known for her viral videos about cooking for her family and husband, specifically where she makes items like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or sunscreen completely from scratch.
Smith has previously addressed some of the criticisms of her content, particularly being called a 'trad wife,' a phrase for a married woman who takes on traditional gender roles from the 1950s.
'That's one of the narratives that I have a really hard time wrapping my head around: the trad wife, whatever it is,' Smith told Harper's Bazaar during an August 2024 interview.
'You don't see me getting on a plane, hopping to New York, modeling, coming back – all while I have a newborn – paying bills, filming content, getting my kids dressed.'
Smith continued to hit back at how she's just been categorized by her responsibilities as a parent, rather than by her career.
'Being put into a certain box, just because people think that I'm slaving away, is so weird to me. I'm a working mom who gets to go about her day in a very different way than [someone with] a normal nine-to-five job would,' she explained.

Man brags he could run a marathon on 24 hour notice with no training — and proves it
A woman signed her husband up for a marathon with 24 hours notice after he bragged he could complete 26.2 miles without any training. Maisie Todd, 31, put her husband Logan's name down for the Rock 'n' Roll marathon in San Diego on May 31 after he 'kept bringing up' how he could finish the course with no training. Surprising him 24 hours before the big day on June 1, 2025, Logan, 32, prepped by eating peanut butter sandwiches, stretching and drinking lots of water. He went on to finish in an impressive time of five hours 58 minutes – running the first 10 miles without a break – with supportive Maisie posting regular updates of the whole experience on social media.

Meet the Kardashians' plastic surgeons responsible for Kris Jenner's new face and Kylie's 'teardrop' curves
Kylie Jenner recently shared details of her breast augmentation, including her surgeon. Kris Jenner also confirmed her plastic surgeon, speculated to be the one behind her facelift. Dr. Garth Fisher and Dr. Steven Levine are their plastic surgeons with cutting-edge techniques. While most celebrities stay tight-lipped about their plastic surgeons, Kylie Jenner surprised fans by doing the opposite: listing exactly what she got done, down to her implant size and plastic surgeon. It all started when TikToker Rachel Leary posted a video asking Kylie to share details of her surgery. "Please, can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?" Leary said. "It's the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever." About a day later, Jenner, 27, responded. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment. The Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to plastic surgery, or to public speculation about what they've done. But between Kylie Jenner's TikTok comment and Kris Jenner recently confirming her plastic surgeon, the family is becoming a little more open about the men behind their updates. Dr. Garth Fisher, a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has been the go-to plastic surgeon of half the KarJenners for years. He's been practicing for over 20 years. Known for his breast augmentation technique (which favors a more natural-looking teardrop shape over a circular look), he performed the surgery for both Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian. Fisher is also popular for his trademarked "pinnacle facelift," a more customized and minimally invasive facelift that avoids skin looking too pulled-back or pinched. Prior to her viral facelift, Kris Jenner got a pinnacle facelift from Fisher. He also revised a facelift for Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition, which was shown in an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Fisher has appeared on "ABC's Extreme Makeover" and has been ranked as one of America's top doctors by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company. Kris Jenner, 69, is a client of Dr. Steven M. Levine, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon who does everything from eyelid lifts to breast implants. He opened his private practice in 2019. A year later, during the pandemic, he was so in demand that some clients offered to pay double or let him stay in their Hamptons home for a month, according to People. While Jenner has been less open than her daughter about the exact procedures she's undergone, some speculate that she had a deep-plane facelift, where a layer of connective tissue between the skin and facial muscles is lifted to provide a more drastic, longer-lasting outcome. While it's unknown how much Jenner paid, Levine told People back in 2020 that his facial work starts at $45,000. Levine has been ranked as one of the top doctors in the NYC area. New York Magazine also named him one of the top doctors for several years in a row. The Kardashians haven't always raved about their surgeons' work. Some have regretted past plastic surgery. In a 2023 episode of "The Kardashians," Kylie Jenner said she regretted getting a boob job when she was 19, months before her daughter Stormi was born. She thought she looked "perfect" before and wished she "never got them done to begin with." The KarJenners being more forthcoming about their plastic surgery could be a sign that they're happier with the results. Or, as The Cut speculated, they could be launching a plastic surgery-related venture. "Dr. Levine works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder," Carol Lee, a beauty writer, wrote. "If you know anything about the Kardashians, it's that everything they do is strategic — nothing is an accident." Read the original article on Business Insider
