Influencer Nara Smith, 25, explains why she is getting her tubes tied
Influencer and model Nara Smith has opened up about the reason as to why she has decided to get her tubes tied.
Appearing on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast, which hit YouTube last Thursday (8 October), the 25-year-old, who tied the knot with fellow model Lucky Blue Smith in 2020, explained: "We're done having kids. I couldn't imagine being pregnant."
"I'm going to get my tubes tied. I'm going to schedule the appointment."
The couple share four children: Rumble Honey, six; Slim Easy, four; Whimsy Lou, two; and Fawnie Golden, who was born in September.

Lucky, 28, also has a daughter, Gravity, from a previous relationship.
Nara admitted she 'absolutely would love to have another baby,' but said she doesn’t think she could go through a fifth pregnancy.
"I don't think my body would be able to handle another pregnancy, another postpartum period, but also then the toddler stage," she said.
"We only talk about pregnancy and sometimes postpartum, very barely, but we never talk about what comes after, and that is really, really hard," the mum continued.
"The toddlers, the tantrums, the reasoning, all the things. I don't want to do that in 10 years. I want to do that now, which is why I had them back to back."
Nara added: "I'm going through all of it at one time. And in 10 years, they're going to be old. I'm not starting from scratch, there is no way. I'm done."
The social media star has previously spoken about being done having children in a 2024 interview with GQ, before welcoming Fawnie.
In the interview, Lucky told her: "Well, we have three. So, you're done."
"Yep, I'm done," Smith replied.
Lucky then pointed out: "You did want six. When we first met, you wanted six."
Smith, who was 19 when she and Lucky welcomed their first child, said: "And it worked out great. I love being a young mum."
"I want to build my life with them rather than trying to integrate them into my life later," she added.
Earlier this year, Nara opened up about her daughter Whimsy's cancer diagnosis.
In an Instagram video shared in July, Nara began: "There is no easy way to say this or to talk about any of this, but late last year our daughter, Whimsy, got diagnosed with cancer.
She explained that the toddler started chemo treatments 'immediately'.
"Having found all of this out and navigating this while postpartum, also loving and caring for our other kids at home. Also being in the hospital with Whimsy a lot and balancing work on top of that has been really challenging, and finding that balance is something that I struggle with on a daily basis," she added.
She concluded: "Some days are a little easier, some days are really hard, and all I can do is try my best and show up in all those areas in the best way that I can.
"I hope that by sharing this I can bring someone else a little bit of comfort and make you feel less alone in your journey in whatever way that may be."
Nara captioned the post: "Thankful for each and every nurse and doctor along our journey who helped us get through and out the other end."
