Karlie Kloss Posts Breastfeeding Photo with Newborn Daughter Rae
Karlie Kloss is fully embracing her role as a mom following the arrival of her third child.
“My past week 💕😇✨,” Kloss, 33, shared on Instagram on Sunday, September 28, accompanied by a series of photos capturing moments with baby Rae.
In one of the images, Kloss is seen in bed, sporting a silver sheet mask while breastfeeding the newborn. She playfully showed a peace sign and made a kissy face toward the camera.
“Feeling extra grateful,” she captioned another photo of Rae in her Instagram Stories that same Sunday.
Kloss gave birth on September 18.
“Welcome to the world, Rae Florence,” she later wrote on Instagram on September 21.
Along with Rae, Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner are the proud parents of sons Levi and Elijah, born in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
Kloss and Kushner, 40, have been a couple since 2012 and tied the knot six years later in 2018.
“It’s not like I’ve ever wanted to be extremely private about my life,” Kloss shared with Porter magazine later that year, explaining their discretion about their relationship. “Carolina Herrera always says, ‘A woman who’s an open book is boring.’ There’s no mystery left. I know what matters to me in life. I’m not hiding anything; I just enjoy having a bit more privacy.”
After three years of marriage, Kloss and Kushner welcomed their first son, Levi.
“Not to sound cliché, but everything — in the most wonderful ways,” Kloss remarked about motherhood in a 2024 interview with Bustle. “I look in the mirror, see leftover mascara from yesterday, and realize I haven’t even brushed my hair today.”
She added, “My self-care routine has definitely become more practical, if a bit neglected, but that’s fine. I’m really savoring this phase of life, which has improved me in many ways.”
Kloss’s self-care routine isn’t the only aspect that has evolved since Levi, Elijah, and Rae joined the family.
“As a businesswoman, I’ve become more efficient and make quicker decisions, which I think many working moms can relate to,” she shared with the magazine. “It’s impossible to predict what’s coming next, but the most beautiful changes compel growth.”
Besides her career in modeling, Kloss is the owner of Bedford Media and runs an annual Kode With Klossy camp to inspire young girls to code.
“I always viewed my fashion career as a stepping stone,” she stated on “The Burnouts” podcast last month. “It was a way to earn a substantial income as a young person without formal education. I hadn’t attended grad school, but I was offered an incredible opportunity, and I seized it. For me, it was a job that felt more like something that fell into my lap.”
She continued, “Modeling served as my gateway into the broader world. From the start, I thought, ‘This is incredible.’ It just happened so rapidly that I was often just trying to keep pace.”
