Model-turned-TikToker Nara Smith has fascinated millions of viewers with her videos in which she makes snacks and home essentials fully from scratch — from bubblegum to toothpaste. In each TikTok, she speaks about catering to her children and husband, fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, making labor-intensive creations while wearing perfectly put-together looks.

In a rare interview, Nara set the record straight with GQ, responding to various speculations about her personal life.
Speaking on viewers’ theories that her clips are all for show and Nara doesn’t do any of the actual labor associated with being a housewife, the TikTok personality denied that she and her husband are putting up a front.
“What people think online is that we have housekeepers and cleaners and nannies and all of these things, when in reality it’s just me and Lucky wanting a family and sharing our lives online,” she told the outlet.
