Influencer and model Nara Smith has revealed she plans to get her tubes tied at the age of 25.
The social media star, who is married to model Lucky Blue Smith, is also a mother to four children - three girls and a boy - all born within the last six years.
During an appearance on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast, Smith revealed that she is planning to get sterilized to prevent any further pregnancies.
She 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."
She and her husband share daughters Rumble Honey, six; Whimsy Lou, two; and Fawnie Golden, one; and four-year-old son Slim Easy. Lucky, 28, also has an older daughter, nine-year-old Gravity Blue, from a previous relationship.
Smith admitted that she "absolutely would love to have another baby," but is concerned about the thought of going through a fifth pregnancy and birth.
She explained: "I don't think my body would be able to handle another pregnancy, another postpartum period, but also then the toddler stage.
"We only talk about pregnancy and sometimes postpartum, very barely, but we never talk about what comes after, and that is really, really hard."
She added: "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.
"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."
Smith had previously said she was finished having children in an 2024 interview with GQ, before she became pregnant with Fawnie.
In the interview, her husband said: "Well, we have three. So, you're done," and Smith responded: "Yep, I'm done."
He then revealed: "You did want six. When we first met, you wanted six," to which she replied: "And it worked out great. I love being a young mom.
"I want to build my life with them rather than trying to integrate them into my life later."
Per the Mayo Clinic, having your tubes tied - medically known as tubal ligation - involves having the fallopian tubes cut and tied to prevent pregnancy in females. This is a permanent form of birth control and will prevent pregnancy for the rest of a person's life.
Tubal ligation prevents an egg from moving from the ovaries to the uterus through the fallopian tubes, and also blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian tubes to the egg. It does not affect the menstrual cycle and it is not considered reversible as that would require major surgery which doesn't always work.
Smith was just 19 when she and her husband welcomed their first baby in 2020, having married just months earlier and met the year before.
Heartbreakingly, their two-year-old daughter Whimsy Lou was diagnosed with cancer, with Smith revealing in an Instagram video in July: "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 added that the toddler was beginning chemotherapy "immediately", explaining: "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.
"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."
She added in the caption: "Thankful for each and every nurse and doctor along our journey who helped us get through and out the other end."
