After 'bouncing back' from her fourth pregnancy just two weeks after giving birth, social media star Nara Smith has inadvertently sparked a controversial conspiracy theory.
The TikTok influencer, 24, announced earlier this month that she and her model hubby, Lucky Blue Smith, had welcomed a new addition to their family, sharing the news online that they'd welcomed another daughter, named Fawnie Golden.
The couple are already parents to daughters Rumble Honey, 4, and Whimsy Lou, 18 months, as well as three-year-old son Slim Easy.
Uploading a snap of their latest baby girl to Instagram, the pair gushed: "She’s here! Welcome to the world little angel."

In the weeks since, Smith has uploaded a number of sweet snaps and cute clips alongside Fawnie, one of which was uploaded last week, with a thumbnail showing the child sitting on her lap.
Also visible in the pic were the mother-of-four's abdominal muscles, which appeared more defined than ever before.
Unfortunately for Smith, however, her shredded new snap set tongues wagging in a number seemingly envious trolls, many of whom have accused the internet sensation of secretly using a surrogate to carry her fourth child.

Taking to Threads, one critic questioned: "Is it just me or other new mamas too? Looking at her picture I tell How is she so put together? Looking at her tummy i wonder Where was the baby in the 9 months?"
Another suggested: "Conspiracy theory, she was never pregnant (had fake bumps) and had a surrogate."
"Fake tummy surrogate," a third added.
Thankfully, though, the hotly-debated theory proved no skin off Smith's nose, and she appeared to eventually hit back with a super-candid response.

Sharing another snap of her impressive abs, the online star wrote in the caption: "Women’s bodies are pure magic- divinely designed to create, grow and nurture life. we become the bridge between heaven and earth guiding life into this world.
"With that our bodies transform and stretch."
She added: "I used to feel the need to bend and force it back into how it used to look only to realise that it has been home to four other bodies. This final stage is filled with grace and slowing down."

In the hours since, Smith was inundated with fan comments, many of whom praised her for speaking out against the questioning of other women's bodies.
"It’s so nice to see another mama who also looks like this after birth," one wrote. "My stomach goes back to normal size almost the moment my baby is out but it feels like only bigger belly’s can be celebrated and shared."
Another added: "Ladies, comparison is a thief of joy. We can agree that she looks amazing while also acknowledging that this is not the way most people look immediately postpartum.

"Six kids in and in my mid-30s I can definitely confirm it's harder as you age - but 1.5 years postpartum (and a miscarriage in between) now and finally seeing the weight come off."
A third went on: "Anyone hating on this post or Nara is self projecting. She never said this is everyone’s body type nor but anyone down!! She’s simply loving her own skin, in this vulnerable time.
"And yall wanna body shame her for being slim! Like SHuT UP!!"
