Both before and after the birth, Graham has kept fans updated about life as a pregnant woman and as a new mother. Just three weeks after her son saw the light of day, she shared a brutally honest post.
– Raise your hand if you did not know you had to change the diaper on yourself. After all these years in the fashion industry, I had never thought that disposable panties would be my favorite garment, but that’s how it is, she wrote on Instagram and continued:
– No one talks about the time after birth. The healing (yes, even the dirty parts) new mothers go through. I want to show you that it’s not just rainbows and butterflies. It has been tough, she admitted.

Throughout the year, the 32-year-old has continued to share from everyday life as a mother of small children. And despite the fact that she hides her son’s face in the photos she shares, the little heartbreaker constantly appears on her profile.
Role model
Ashley often uses social media to pay tribute to the female body and promote a healthy body ideal, and this is what she is now being praised for after three beautiful photos she posted of herself and Isaac on Wednesday.
In the pictures, the model only poses in panties and a tummy tuck, while she lovingly holds and kisses her son.
In the comments field, there is a lot of nice feedback about the pictures of mother and son.
– I love how you always normalize your body, embrace the role of mother and rock your own sexuality. I’ve been scared of all this for a long time, but you’re really encouraged me to show off my body, a user brags.
– You look absolutely fantastic, says another.
– My seven year old daughter looked over my shoulder while I scrolled and asked when she saw you: “Who is it?”. “She’s a model,” I replied. “A role model?” she asked. “That’s right,” I said, sharing a third with a red heart.
Ashley Graham has in recent years become one of the world’s most talked about models, and has walked a number of catwalks and been the cover girl for prestigious fashion magazines such as Vogue.
In 2016, her name was on “everyone’s lips” when she graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in a bikini like the very first “plus size” model.
As mentioned, she is seen as a healthy body ideal, and has, among other things, several times displayed their stretch marks. Last month, she posted a video where she formed a heart around the stretch marks on her stomach:
The film clip has been viewed almost five million times and one of the more than 5,000 comments reads as follows:
– I love this so much. Real women have curves, stretch marks, scars after cesarean section and everything else. Thank you so much for removing the stigma surrounding this.
Prayer and sex
Ashley Graham and Justin Ervin, who are both Christians, met at church in 2009 and married a year later.
The model has never been of the shy kind, and when she was seven months pregnant she revealed that the pregnancy did not stand in the way of their sex life. What may have come as a surprise to some was the activity that ignited her and her husband.
– We both really like to meditate and pray for each other, but then we have discovered that it feels even more intense when we do it together. It’s typically like, “Oh shit!” Did you feel the same as me? “, The model shared when she visited” A Little Late with Lilly Singh “in November, according to IS! News.
Furthermore, Ashley explained that it had something to do with the intimate atmosphere with dim lighting and loud music.
– After we have finished praying, because we have the priorities in order, we tear off our clothes. It’s a great way to get closer to each other for both. Both in terms of the physical and the spiritual.
