Karlie Kloss Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby No. 3 With Husband Joshua Kushner
Karlie Kloss is basking in the glow of her newest angel.
The model gave birth to her third baby with husband Joshua Kushner on Sept. 18, a baby girl named Rae Florence. And now she’s shared a glimpse of her first days with her first daughter.
“My past week,” Karlie captioned photos of her cuddling the newborn Sept. 28, adding on her Instagram Story, “Feeling extra grateful.”
In one pic, Karlie held Rae close while the pair were surrounded by big bouquets of flowers, while another showed her in a silver face mask and flashing a peace sign while breastfeeding Rae in bed.
The couple—who are parents to sons Levi, 4, and Elijah, 2—first announced their pregnancy news on Instagram with a sweet family photoshoot. Karlie cradled her bump in a white cropped shirt and a black bodycon dress alongside her sons.
She captioned the March 17 post, “Three’s a party.”
Karlie has been open with how much becoming a mom has meant to her. In fact, she shared her excitement at the 2023 Met Gala red carpet where she confirmed her second pregnancy, showcasing her baby bump in a figure-hugging black gown paired with strands of pearls by Loewe.
“Baby’s first Met Gala,” she told E! News at the time. “I mean, it’s hard not to top this. I will be telling them about this for many years.”
Following the birth of her eldest Levi, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel shared she fell in love with him the moment she met him.
“I just had this moment of like, ‘Wow, every woman who has a child, every parent goes through this,’” she told TODAY in April 2022. “It’s just the most profound experience that I had no idea until having a kid.”
She shared a similar sentiment with Vogue in March 2024, discussing the joy that comes with motherhood.
“It’s the greatest experience in my life,” Karlie said. “I mean, maybe it’s the hormones, but it just gives me the greatest joy every single day to wake up and have these two little delicious humans whom I just love so much.”
While parenting is not always easy, she has learned to embrace the journey.
“You just have to learn to roll with the punches,” she reflected. “Motherhood is messy and amazing. I think [it has] actually been so important for me to be more comfortable with not being able to control everything because that’s just the way it goes.”

And Karlie and Joshua—who first met in June 2012—are grateful to be taking on parenthood together.
‘“I absolutely met, married and am madly in love with my soulmate,” the 33-year-old told the InCharge with DVF podcast in 2020. “He is truly my partner. He is my other half. I didn’t know that I could love someone in this kind of way, and I feel like I’ve almost grown up with him. I met him when I was 19 and I think there’s a lot of growing into myself that I still was doing when I first met him and still am to this day.”
She added, “Joshua loves me but he’s the most supportive person in my life.”
The American businessman could not agree more with his wife. For their anniversary, he posted a photo of his wife, captioning the October 2020 post, “I pinch myself every day.”
