In the digital age, where influencers shape trends and inspire lifestyles, Nara Smith has emerged as a prominent figure.
NARA SMITH AND GENDER ROLES
The former model, now a TikTok sensation, captivates millions with her meticulously crafted videos. In her videos she prepares everything from homemade snacks to household essentials.
Dressed to perfection, Nara showcases her life as a devoted wife and mother.
Yet, despite her growing popularity, she’s found herself in the midst of a debate she never intended to spark, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
NARA SMITH IS NOT PUSHING AN AGENDA
In a rare interview, Nara addressed the misconceptions surrounding her content.
“People assume I’m pushing a narrative about traditional gender roles, but that’s not my intention,” Nara clarified.
“I’m not saying this is normal or that people have to live this way to be a certain kind of person.”
NARA SMITH AND ‘TRAD WIVES’
Nara’s TikToks often highlight her daily routines, where she caters to her husband, fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, and their children.
The couple has become the poster family for the new wave of “tradwives” on the internet, according to Entertainment Tonight.
But Nara insists this image is not something she consciously cultivated.
NARA SMITH AND LUCKY BLUE
Responding to accusations that her videos are mere performance, Nara dismissed the notion that she and Lucky Blue are putting up a front.
“What people think online is that we have housekeepers, cleaners, and nannies, but in reality, it’s just me and Lucky wanting a family and sharing our lives online,” Nara Smith revealed.
The couple has limited household help, relying on a nanny for only a few hours each week.
SHARING RESPONSIBILITIES
Nara Smith and Lucky Blue have developed a partnership in every aspect of their lives,, according to IMDB.
They share parenting and home care responsibilities, crafting a daily childcare plan together each night.
“It’s not about thinking, ‘Oh, I need to make my husband a meal right now, or he’ll be upset,’” Nara explained.
EMBRACING TRADITIONAL ROLES
Lucky Blue echoed her sentiment: “I view our situation as a big partnership. When she’s cooking all these meals…”
Nara Smith interjected with a laugh, “He does the cleanup, which I’m grateful for because I hate that part.”
As for the perception that Nara is encouraging women to embrace traditional gender roles, she was quick to dispel the notion.
“In no way am I suggesting that others should follow what I do,” she said.
CONTENT AND THE MORMON FAITH
“Whether it’s a meal idea or a home-cooked dish I’ve made for my toddler, I’m just putting content out there to inspire.
People can take from it whatever they want.”
Nara and Lucky Blue have also faced scrutiny for occasionally referencing their Mormon faith in their videos. This lead some to accuse them of pushing religious propaganda.
Nara found this accusation baffling. “I’m definitely not doing that,” she asserted.
YOUNG MOTHERHOOD
“Everyone’s faith is deeply personal. I would never want to put something out there for people to follow. That’s crazy to me.”
Beyond her homemaker persona, Nara Smith has drawn attention for being a young mother.
At just 22, she’s already a mother of three, and a stepmother to Lucky Blue’s child from a previous relationship.
Some critics speculated that Lucky Blue pressured her into motherhood too early, but Nara firmly disagreed.
“It was my decision. Lucky had Gravity when he was really young.
FAMILY LIFE
It felt natural for me to have kids early too,” she explained. “I love being a young mum.”
However, Nara has no plans to expand her family further.
“After Whimsy, we’re absolutely done,” she said with a smile. “Toddlers are the best form of birth control—they’re wild!”
In a world where influencers often face criticism for the messages they send, Nara Smith is clear about her intentions.
She’s not promoting a lifestyle or ideology—she’s simply sharing her life. And that, she hopes, is enough.
