It’s a mini
baby boom in the modeling world and baby bumps are watched by millions on
Instagram. In the past two weeks, two
Victoria’s Secret angels welcomed their own little angels. Behati Prinsloo gave birth to her first
child, a little girl named Dusty Rose, and Candice Swanepoel welcomed her first
born, a baby boy named Anacan. The new
moms join a long list of supermodels who have given “yummy mummy” a whole new meaning.
Having a baby
used to signal the winding down of a modeling career, as it was assumed that
giving birth would somehow ruin a model’s figure and distract her from her
career. Not so! Today’s models are even more amazing after
having their babies, with more sensual, womanly curves. It is now completely normal for a model to
start her family in her late twenties as they know that their career will pick
up again and even expose them to a broader audience after they have kids. Modeling
careers can go on indefinitely now and pausing to start a family no longer
means an end of her career unless a it is a model’s personal choice. It actually focuses a model’s energies into
achieving more while working less in order to spend as much time as she can
with her offspring, while providing for them at the same time.
I managed to
keep my hand in the modeling world while I had my own three kids and wouldn’t
change a thing. I became a much more
successful and focused model after starting my family, and with the great
support of my agents and clients I have been able to maintain my career and achieve so
many of my goals while raising my kids. Some models,
such as Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes and Heidi Klum have even walked runways –
including in the epic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – only weeks after giving
birth. Many model moms like Kate Moss,
Natalia Vodianova, and Sasha Pivoverova have appeared with their children in
the pages of Vogue shot by legendary photographers in some of the most
beautiful and memorable editorials ever. The industry no longer dictates when or how a model can begin her family or influence how she raises her kids.
Here’s to yummy mummies everywhere! Welcome Dusty
Rose and Anacan! We will be watching
your moms’ Instagram feeds to share in their joy with their new little angels!
