Model and influencer Nara Smith has revealed that her two-year-old daughter, Whimsy Lou, is battling cancer.

According to NBC News, Smith said she and her husband, Lucky Blue Smith, became concerned after noticing something unusual with their daughter and took her to the emergency room. After further evaluation, doctors confirmed the diagnosis and informed the family that the cancer had spread, requiring Whimsy to begin chemotherapy immediately.

In an emotional Instagram video posted Wednesday, Smith recalled the moment her pediatrician became unusually quiet during the examination, saying she immediately felt in her heart that it was cancer before the diagnosis was confirmed.
