Popular lifestyle and fashion influencer Nara Smith spoke out about her daughter\u2019s private health battle, revealing on Wednesday that the 2-year-old is battling cancer. <\/p>\n
Smith, 24, said in an Instagram video<\/a> that her daughter Whimsy was diagnosed late last year when she and husband model Lucky Blue Smith noticed \u201csomething suspicious\u201d on the toddler\u2019s body and sought immediate medical attention. The models first took their child to the emergency room and eventually to the pediatrician, who urged the parents to take their daughter to the nearest children\u2019s hospital, she said. <\/p>\n \u201cI just remember him going really quiet and calm, and my heart dropped in that moment,\u201d Smith recalled of that pivotal visit with the pediatrician. <\/p>\n The content creator said her daughter underwent numerous X-rays, ultrasounds and a biopsy before the hospital team determined the cancer diagnosis. Smith did not specify the type of cancer, but said the illness had spread and Whimsy needed to begin chemotherapy. Smith, who went viral in late 2023 for her absurdly elaborate videos crafting processed snacks<\/a> from scratch in fabulous outfits<\/a>, said her daughter\u2019s health battle is partially why she has taken a break from social media. She also spoke about finding comfort and community online via forums and social media and connecting with families who have loved ones also battling cancer. <\/p>\n \u201cProcessing this and navigating this as a family has been really hard,\u201d she said. Smith added that in addition to Whimsy\u2019s cancer battle, she found it challenging to balance caring for her other children, recovering from the fall 2025 birth<\/a> of her youngest daughter and her social media work. \u201cSome days are a little easier. Some days are really hard,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n Nara and Lucky Blue Smith, 28, married in 2020 and share four children: eldest daughter Rumble Honey, son Slim Easy, Whimsy Lou and infant Fawnie Golden. Lucky Blue Smith also shares a daughter with his ex-girlfriend, social media star Stormi Bree. <\/p>\n Though Nara Smith kept most details about Whimsy\u2019s cancer battle private, the thumbnail for Wednesday\u2019s video appears to be her husband and a doctor next to an MRI machine. \u201cThankful for each and every nurse and doctor along our journey who helped us get through and out the other end,\u201d she captioned the video. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
