Supermodel Karlie Kloss recently offered a candid glimpse into the often-unseen realities of new motherhood. Taking to Instagram, the 33-year-old shared a deeply personal reflection on her postpartum experience and the journey of feeding her newborn daughter, Rae Florence. Her honest words resonated with many parents, stripping away the polished facade of celebrity life to reveal the raw physical and emotional demands of this chapter.
Karlie Kloss touches upon breastfeeding being both ‘sacred’ and ‘hard’
Kloss’s Instagram carousel featured a collection of intimate, unfiltered photos from her early days with baby Rae. One standout image showed the multitasking mom wearing a silver face mask while breastfeeding—a perfectly imperfect snapshot of her new routine. Other slides included a shelf filled with “liquid gold” breast milk storage bags, her pumping equipment, and tender moments of her cradling Rae in a soft, patterned onesie.
One close-up captures a small hand clutching her finger, while another shows her daughter sleeping peacefully on her chest, highlighting the quiet joys of new parenthood. Accompanying these visuals was a heartfelt caption where Kloss described breastfeeding as “sacred and hard, beautiful and challenging, emotional and exhausting – all at once.”
She spoke openly about feeling “completely empty” yet marveling at how much her body continues to give. Her words acknowledged the “quiet, tender moments” alongside those where she questioned her “body, my limits, myself.”
Emphasizing that breast milk is “liquid gold,” she also stressed the importance of allowing a feeding journey to “evolve,” granting herself grace along the way. Kloss’s vulnerability provides a refreshing, relatable narrative for mothers navigating similar paths.
Kloss and her husband, billionaire investor Joshua Kushner (40), welcomed baby Rae on September 18, 2025. The couple, who married in 2018, are also proud parents to sons Levi (4) and Elijah (2).
