‘I don’t know how to style a belly,’ she told her, sharing that her last pregnancy happened during the coronavirus pandemic.
At the time she also told E! News, ‘Baby’s first Met Gala. I mean, it’s hard to top this. I will be telling them about this for many years.’
Karlie previously called parenting ‘the greatest joy I never knew,’ during an appearance on the Today show.
She recalled how she fell in love with her son ‘the moment he was placed in my arms.’
‘I just had this moment of like, “Wow, every woman who has a child, every parent goes through this.” It’s just the most profound experience that I had no idea until having a kid.’
She also revealed that becoming a mother changed her priorities.
‘Priorities change. Everything changes. I think the last few years have changed us as well. I have become, first of all, so much more efficient with my time. I’m actually on time everywhere now.’
Karlie and Joshua – whose brother and sister-in-law are Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump – were first spotted spending time together during an afterparty for the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
They waited for a whole year before making their initial public appearance as a couple. The duo went Instagram official with their relationship in 2014.
