Kat Von D’s Heartbreaking Physical Challenge Before Giving Birth to Her Son

Kat Von D Makes an Honest Confession About Her Struggles Over Social Media

Throughout most of 2018, Kat Von D celebrated the pregnancy of his first child with husband Rafael Reyes. And in December, the 36-year-old tattoo icon gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Leafar.

After giving birth, Von D was quick to share some of the challenges she’d experienced adjusting to motherhood with her fanbase on social media. One of those challenges was producing breast milk, with Von D hiring a woman to help out during the first few days. However, Von D has since adjusted to breast feeding and shared a video of herself to share her progress to social media.

Getting some of that vitamin Double D! Sunshine party! We try and spend daily time with Leafar outside in our front yard — especially now that he’s hit his first mental development leap at age 5 weeks. His heightened sense of alertness, smell and touch make going outside such a treat for him [and for us]. So much magical bliss [and boobs].

On the post, a fan commented by saying “I may never be able to have a baby (I’ve miscarried twice) but seeing this is beautiful and makes me cry happy tears!” Von D was quick to encourage the follower by sharing publicly that she’d miscarried twice while trying to conceive with her husband before having her first baby.
