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.'

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz reunite in Madrid

Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz were spotted sharing smiles during a recent museum visit in Madrid. The two stars took a break from filming their new movie, Day Drinker , to explore the Museo Reina Sofía. Their warm camaraderie was clear as they posed arm in arm in front of a striking black-and-white mural. The museum's Instagram even shared the moment, captioning it: 'Thanks for joining us @johnnydepp and @penelopecruzoficial, until next time!' This marks the fourth time Depp, 62, and Cruz, 51, have teamed up on screen. Their previous collaborations include Blow (2001), Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), and Murder on the Orient Express (2017). Now, they are back together for Day Drinker , an action thriller directed by Marc Webb and penned by Zach Dean, according to Daily Mail. The film follows a mysterious stranger (Depp) who crosses paths with a grieving bartender (Madelyn Cline) on a private yacht. Their lives become entangled with a criminal figure played by Cruz, leading to unexpected twists and turns. Orlando Bloom, Depp's co-star from the Pirates franchise, showed his support by leaving two red heart emojis on the museum post. He also hinted at the possibility of 'getting the band together' for another movie, sparking excitement among fans. This is Johnny Depp's first major film role since 2018's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald . After his highly publicised 2022 defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp has been slowly making a comeback. He starred in the French film Jeanne du Barry , which opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and directed Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness . At the San Sebastian Film Festival premiere last September, Cruz reunited with Depp, highlighting their enduring friendship. She praised him, saying, 'Many years have passed and I have not only made three movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend. I've always been impressed by his kindness, his brilliant mind, his talent and his peculiar sense of humour.' The buzz around Day Drinker is growing, with a talented cast including Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, and Anika Boyle. The film promises a gripping story of connection, crime, and unexpected bonds. In today's fast-paced world, it's refreshing to see such genuine friendship and artistic collaboration thrive.

Taylor Swift brought smiles and hope to young patients at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida on Friday.

Clad in a breezy sage green Loewe dress and stylish Louis Vuitton sandals, Swift lit up the hospital lobby. 'She's even more lovely in person,' said Jill Whitehouse, the hospital's chief paediatric surgeon, according to Page Six. 'Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Thank you, Taylor Swift, for making dreams come true for all of our patients, families, and staff today!' Swift took time to chat with each child, shake hands, and sign autographs. She introduced herself simply as 'Taylor,' making every moment personal. One father, Prince Durocher, shared on Instagram, 'Taylor took the time out of her busy schedule just to give a personable experience. It changed it from something terrifying to a memorable memory that my daughter gets to talk about forever.' Another parent, Ashley Rodriguez, posted a touching photo of her daughter with Swift. 'What a much-needed surprise for my baby girl,' she wrote, adding a pink heart emoji. Swift's also made sure to thank the hospital staff, posing for group photos and sharing laughs. One Instagram user captured the moment: 'Chief of Surgery meets Chief of the World!' A source close to Swift told People magazine, 'Her schedule is much more open now that the Eras Tour is wrapped. She's genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up more consistently.' Whether she's on stage or in a hospital ward, Taylor Swift continues to spread joy wherever she goes.
