Motherhood transformed me. It’s hard to describe the overwhelming love and purpose it brings. From the moment I held my children for the first time, my world shifted. Their laughter fills my days, and their milestones – those tiny first steps, the curious questions – remind me how resilient and patient I can be. They’ve taught me to live in the moment, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful. My father was my biggest cheerleader. He supported every step of my modeling journey, believing in me even when I doubted myself. Tragically, I lost him to mesothelioma a little over a year ago. The pain of his absence is something I carry every day. But his memory lives on in my children, especially my youngest, Julian. My father met him just four weeks before he passed, and it’s comforting to know that a piece of him exists in Julian’s bright spirit. His love and belief in me continue to guide me in everything I do.

Professionally, I’ve always admired Cindy Crawford and how she balances her career with family. People often tell me I look like her daughter, Kaia Gerber, which I take as a huge compliment – it inspires me to keep striving for balance in my own life. Happiness, for me, isn’t tied to a specific location. It’s wherever my family is – on a beach during a vacation or around the dinner table at home. Still, there’s one place that holds a special place in my heart: our house in the Ardennes. The view is breathtaking, the atmosphere peaceful. It’s a place my parents loved, and now, it’s where my family creates new memories while honoring the old ones. I cherish my kids’ boundless curiosity most. They see the world with fresh eyes and remind me to slow down and find joy in the simplest moments. Motherhood has shifted my perspective on my work in fashion and social media. It’s taught me authenticity and the importance of celebrating imperfections. I want to be a role model for my kids and others, showing that it’s possible to have a fulfilling career while staying grounded in family life. My relationship with my own mother is something I hold dear. She’s taught me kindness, resilience, and the power of unconditional love. Losing my father was unimaginably hard for her, but she faces each day with strength and grace. My sister and I do everything we can to support her, and in turn, she inspires us to carry on. I see so much of her in how I parent my own children, and I hope to pass on her legacy of love and resilience to them.

I’m excited for the future. I’m working on collaborations that bring together my love for fashion, food, and family, and I’m considering starting a project that reflects my passion for travel and connection. It’s an inspiring time, and I’m ready to see where it leads. If I had to name a fear, it’s that my children won’t fully know the love of their grandfather. He was extraordinary, and I strive every day to honor his memory through the way I raise them. Letting go is another challenge – whether it’s sending them to school or imagining their future independence. It’s a reminder of how much I want to protect them while knowing I need to let them grow. Open communication and trust are my tools to navigate this balance. I grew up in a home filled with laughter and love. My parents gave me the gift of a close-knit family, and my sister is my best friend. That bond shaped who I am today, reminding me of the importance of connection and resilience.

Working with Glam Mom Magazine was such a joy. The team made me feel at home during the shoot, and having my kids join me for a few candid moments was unforgettable. It captured what my life is truly about – family, love, and the beauty of being present in every moment.
