From red-carpet glamour to 6 a.m. wrestling matches, Ashley Graham’s life flips between supermodel and supermom. She and husband Justin Ervin-married since 2010-now wrangle Isaac, Malachi, and Roman in what she calls “a full-time job before breakfast.”

Growing a Family

Graham announced her first pregnancy on their ninth anniversary in 2019, and Isaac Menelik Giovanni arrived on Jan. 18, 2020. After a miscarriage in early 2021, she discovered she was carrying twins.

> “Are you serious? We’re gonna have three boys?” she exclaimed at the ultrasound reveal.

Malachi and Roman debuted on Jan. 7, 2022, but the delivery spiraled into a hemorrhage that left Graham unable to walk for a week.

Life in the Trenches

Balancing career and motherhood triggers constant guilt.

  • She freezes work calendars when home to stay “locked in” with the kids
  • Breast-feeding twins meant “lots of tears” until a lactation nurse helped find rhythm
  • Flight delays once reduced her to tears because “every minute matters” when time with the boys is limited

Graham now skips marquee events-the U.S. Open included-to savor ordinary moments.

Key Takeaways

  • Three sons under 5 turned mornings into marathons
  • A 2022 twin delivery complications required liters of blood
  • Graham prioritizes presence over premieres, calling the boys her “little dinosaurs”

By trading runways for living-room wrestling mats, Graham keeps spotlighting unfiltered motherhood.
