Karlie Kloss Says She's 'Evolved' Since Having Kids: 'The Most Beautiful Changes That Force You to Grow'
Now that Karlie Kloss is a mom to two boys, whom she shares with husband Joshua Kushner, she couldn't be happier.
"Not to be cliché, but everything — in the most beautiful ways," she told Bustle of how adding baby No. 2 to her family has turned her life upside down. "That's really what the [Coterie] campaign is all about — the changes. I'm looking in the mirror and I have mascara left over from last night, I don't even think I've run a brush through my hair today."
“With life as a mother, you don’t lose who you are — you evolve,” she added. “My fashion career is still a core part of who I am, but I’m also an entrepreneur and I just had a second baby. If something’s got to give, it might be a few extra steps in my skin care routine, but I’m going to make sure that I make time to break a sweat or even just go for a walk and get fresh air."
As a result, the model, 31, has less time for herself.
"My self-care routine has definitely gotten more efficient, and maybe a little neglected, but that's OK. I'm enjoying this phase of life, which has made me so much better in a lot of ways," she shared.
She added: "As a businesswoman, I've become more efficient and I make decisions faster, and I think a lot of working moms can relate to that. It's impossible to even anticipate what is about to happen, but it's the most beautiful changes that force you to grow."
After being in the spotlight for several years, Kloss has mastered her routine.
"I just take better care of my skin so I don't have to wear as much makeup. I've found that's been a better investment of my time, so I’m diligent at the end of the day about taking off makeup, cleansing, toning, and using a serum and a retinol," she noted.
Additionally, the mom-of-two can't say no to working out. "I'd say fitness. I exercise for my mental health more than my physical health. I find that's such a core part of my mental well-being," she shared. "I’m not as focused on high-impact or intensity — I’ve developed a more gentle exercise regimen post-baby number two, so I’ve done a lot of Pilates lately, which I find helps me show up better in every other aspect of my life."
