The model and influencer said that she decided to share the diagnosis in the hope it offers comfort to someone dealing with a similar situation, reminding them they are not alone. She also wanted to encourage people worried about any symptoms to get checked.<\/p>\n
\u201cProcessing this and navigating all of this as a family has been really hard,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Smith also said the diagnosis has forced her to take a step back from her work. <\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of you have probably realised that I\u2019ve been posting a little less and this is the reason why. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith did not specify what type of cancer Whimsy was diagnosed with. She also did not mention the girl\u2019s current state, captioning the video: \u201cthankful for each and every nurse and doctor along our journey who helped us get through and out the other end\u201d.<\/p>\n
Nara and husband Lucky Blue have four children together: daughter Rumble Honey, 4, son Slim Easy, 4, Whimsy Lou, 2, and Fawnie Golden, born in September 2025. Lucky also has daughter Gravity with model Stormi Bree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The model and influencer said that she decided to share the diagnosis in the hope it offers comfort…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[105835,1558,28246,2534,2535,14032,797,156,6871,8235,66402,184449,111,139,69,12860,1517,16189,1361,251995,102],"class_list":["post-505157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-2yearold","tag-been","tag-begin","tag-cancer","tag-chemotherapy","tag-daughter","tag-diagnosed","tag-entertainment","tag-has","tag-influencer","tag-lou","tag-nara","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-revealed","tag-reveals","tag-smith","tag-that","tag-whimsy","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
