Nara Smith and her husband Lucky Blue walked arm in arm and flaunted their perfect love while enjoying some lavish shopping in New York City on Friday.
In August, the South African star told Harper’s Bazaar that she has had a “very difficult time” digesting the concept of “the traditional wife, whatever that is,” defending her lifestyle.
She told the outlet that she’s “a working mom” and that the posts she puts out on social media “really aren’t that deep,” regardless of what others say.
The influencer signed by IMG Models said that she is still learning about herself and that she cannot put a label on what she does and the values she seeks to show.
“I never know what to say when people ask me (what I do), because technically, yes, I create content,” said Smith, who has 9.3 million followers on TikTok and 4 million followers on Instagram. “But then I just live my life and share it with people, which a lot of people do.”
Smith’s rapid rise to fame, which has fans calling for him to take up a reality TV platform, has been fueled by his clips of him making things from scratch, with ASMR qualities for internet users.
The clips have generated some controversy at times, according to the profile.
Some commentators criticize her embrace of the cliché of a traditional housewife and nostalgia for a time when women’s rights had not evolved to the point they are now.
Smith said of his critics: “For the sake of my mental health, I can’t afford that.” I can’t keep correcting people or reading things and getting frustrated.’

Her husband Lucky, whom she married in February 2020, defended her in the post, saying her online haters come from a place of envy.
“People see that she has some success in everything she does,” 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 aren’t true, you can tell it’s coming from a place of jealousy. Let’s call it what it is.
Nara said in the article that she is expressing the essence of her individuality and hopes that viewers will find value in it.
“For me, it’s just about showing what I love, and whoever can resonate with that and get something out of it, that’s what I want to do,” he said.
‘Sometimes my outfits are not the most practical, but fashion is not always practical. That’s what I do. I post videos of me cooking for my kids and husband. It’s really not that deep.’
In the article, the model described herself as “a girly girl” and a “working mom who lives her day in a very different way than” a person with “a normal nine-to-five job” would.
She added: “You don’t see me getting on a plane, jumping to New York, modeling, coming back, all while having a newborn, paying bills, filming content, dressing my kids.
“Being put in a certain box, just because people think I’m working like a slave, is very strange to me.”
