Inside Nara Smith’s Family World With Husband Lucky Blue Smith

Born Nara Pellmann, she was 18 when the Utah-born model slid into her DMs toward the end of 2019, after which they exchanged numbers and started texting.

Then 21, Lucky was “the crappiest texter,” Nara cracked on On Purpose, but their first phone call lasted for seven hours. They talked every day despite Lucky being in Los Angeles and Nara in Germany, where the South African-born model grew up.

Two weeks after their first call, they found out they were scheduled to be at the same fashion show in Milan.

On the same day they met in person, Lucky asked her to be his girlfriend (she warned him she was going to take his offer very seriously), and on the day he met her parents, he asked Nara’s father for permission to marry her. She then flew out to L.A. to meet his parents, they got engaged two weeks later and, two months after that, they got married in February 2020.

“It was so crazy, so quick,” she acknowledged, “but so great, and now here we are five years later.”
