Tradwife influencer Nara Smith SLAMMED for 'glamorizing' teen pregnancies
The 23-year-old, who shares three children with husband Lucky Blue, posted a video celebrating being a young mom, which concerned followers who accused her of encouraging other women to have children at a young age.
The clip, which showed her hugging her young child in a paddock, was captioned: 'POV: You decided to have kids at 18 and this is your fifth Mother's Day.'
Nara rose to fame through TikTok, where she flaunts her 'tradwife' (traditional housewife) lifestyle, baking extravagant meals for her family while seeming to effortlessly care for her young children.
While her social media shows a lavish lifestyle, where she wears designer clothing in a beautiful home, many have pointed out very few teen moms can afford the same lifestyle.
'Nara please don't glamorize this. Happy for you but your life at 18 is not most teens realities…,' one response read.
'Reminder to all the 18-year-olds, you do not have Nara Smith money,' read another.
'Girlies at 18 you don't have Nara Smith money so this ain't your sign,' someone else shared.
'No. DO NOT GET INFLUENCED PLEASE. Finish your college. Get a job. Become financially stable,' agreed another.
In a Reddit thread, users delved into why the influencer, who is Mormon, is heavily advocating for the controversial take.
'[Nara] is 100 percent serious on how she thinks this is easy and achievable,' one user wrote on a thread.
'No idea about the teen pregnancy stuff but they should be unfollowing her for pushing trad wife aesthetics. It's like Andrew Tate for Gen Z girls and we're falling hard and fast into mass conservatism,' chimed in another.
Someone else agreed, writing: 'Especially when the couple are Mormons, there's definitely an underlying agenda to all this — hell, find me a tradwife influencer who ISN'T a Mormon or fundamentalist Christian.'
They continued: 'And the problem is she's promoting such a glamorized fantasy that just isn't within reach for 99 percent of people if they got married and started popping out kids at eighteen, all on one income.'
'Her own social media income avoids the all too common scenario of being trapped in a loveless or even abusive marriage, or left destitute with her kids after her husband sets his eyes on that pretty young secretary, takes the house, and weasels himself out of child support or alimony,' they pointed out.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Nara for further comment.
Tradwives are a trending topic on social media that showcases women who sport 1950s style clothing while embracing traditional gender roles.
Last year, the South African star told Harper's Bazaar that she has had 'a really hard time' digesting the concept of the 'the trad wife, whatever it is,' defending her lifestyle.
'People are seeing her gaining some success from everything she's doing,' Lucky said.
'If you have someone who doesn't know you at all and they're making a video about you online with things that are not true, you can just tell it's coming from a place of jealousy. Let's call it what it is.'
Smith has been married to fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, 26, since February of 2020, and the couple are parents to three children: daughter Rumble Honey, three, son Slim Easy, two, and daughter Whimsy Lou Smith, four months.
Smith is also stepmother to her husband's daughter Gravity, seven, from his previous relationship to model Stormi Bree.

You could be richer with tiny detail on rare £2 coin worth hundreds of pounds
Finding one small minting error on a £2 coin could mean it sells for more than 60 times its value to collectors. So do you have this special piece lurking in your wallets? Rare coins are all the rage at the moment, but have you got this particular £2 piece in your pocket? It's always a good idea to rummage through your coin stash - you never know what treasures might be lurking. One lucky person hit the jackpot when he discovered the UK's rarest 50p coin, featuring an Atlantic Salmon design and King Charles III on the reverse, tucked away in his collection. These coveted coins are now fetching big sums, with one changing hands on eBay for a tidy £153 last year. But TikTok fans went wild with talks of another coin to keep an eye out for - a £2 coin that fetched hundreds under the hammer. TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, who boasts a following of 191,400, highlighted a 2016 Shakespeare's Tragedies £2 coin that sold for an impressive £123, approximately 60 times its face value. These coins were minted to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. The set is made up of three coins, each celebrating a different genre of Shakespeare's oeuvre – tragedies, comedies, and histories. So, what makes this coin so special? The user explained: "It's a hard to spot error affecting the edge of the coin that has attracted interest from collectors. "Instead of the standard edge inscription, which should read, 'What a piece of work is a man', this one has the words from another £2 coin around the edge. Mint errors like this one can add significant value to common coins." It's worth noting the error coin will bear the edge inscription 'for king and country'. Rare coin collector shares six valuable designs that could be worth up to £200k Several £2 coins are known to have the wrong edge inscription, with the mistake being an edge intended for a different coin minted in the same year. The revelation, shared in a video two days ago, has already garnered over 200 likes and numerous comments.

The surprisingly friendly reunion between the actor exes comes nearly nine years after they broke up in September 2016, after being together for 11 years. In addition to their son, they also share their 16-year-old daughter Kai Schreiber. Both Naomi and Liev, who never tied the knot, went on to marry other people after their split. Naomi went on to marry fellow actor Billy Crudup in June 2023, while the Ray Donovan star married Taylor Neisen in July of the same year. Liev and Taylor welcomed their daughter Hazel Bee, now two, in August 2023. One of Naomi's social media photos showed the trio after a shopping trip during which they purchased pillows and kitchen utensils for their college freshman. Another snap showed the father-and-son duo walking side-by-side and holding hands in Downtown Los Angeles. Naomi had previously taken to Instagram to post pictures of the move on Monday. 'Already [bawling],' she wrote across a photo of Sasha standing with his packed suitcases and bags. Meanwhile, Liev shared the moment from his perspective, as he said he was 'starting to feel the pull' while uploading a photo of himself standing with his son.
