#Socialites, TikTok star and model Nara Smith is making it real clear—she’s not about to let social media throw her in a box. On the latest episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Nara addressed the growing online chatter labeling her a “tradwife” due to her viral content centered on motherhood, cooking, and home life.
“I’m very busy. I travel almost every week. I have kids that I raise. I love being in the kitchen because it’s a passion of mine, not because I have to,” Smith explained during the July 10 episode. Nara, who’s expecting her fourth child with husband and fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, got candid about how she’s navigated the pressure of being misunderstood by strangers online. She first entered the modeling industry at 14 after being scouted by IMG Models in Germany and continued to grow her career in the United States, according to TOO FAB.
“I’ve Cried to My Husband About It” — Nara Gets Candid About Online Hate
The model also shared how harsh online criticism has affected her personally. “I’ve cried to my husband about it,” she revealed, adding that people often project their own ideas onto her life without understanding the full picture. Despite the hate, Nara says she’s done explaining herself to those unwilling to actually listen. “There’s no point in me saying something that someone doesn’t even wanna hear,” she added.
Just last month, she addressed criticism for having four kids by the age of 23, defending her decision in a TikTok video. “I did a lot of the things that people in their 20s do when I was a teenager,” she said. “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.”
Despite the assumptions and backlash, Nara says she finds peace in focusing on her real life—not the noise. “I’m not living my life to fit someone else’s version of what’s right or wrong,” she said. For Nara, choosing to cook for her family or raise her kids at a young age isn’t a political statement—it’s a personal choice.
