But thetop model worldis anything but easy, however it might look.
Iman and Shepard welcomed their first daughter in 2018 and their second in 2019.
Despite all appearances, however, the couple’s partnership eventually came to a halt.
In January 2022,Page Sixrevealed that Shepard filed for divorce in June of 2021.
According to the documents obtained by the outlet, there was “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”
And it looks like there’s only more opportunity on the horizon.
Since then, Iman has continued to use her massive social media platform to promote the cause.
Iman’s connection to Smile Train didn’t begin with her ambassadorship.
On Mother’s Day 2021, she posted onInstagramabout the See a Smile, Send a Smile challenge.
Under Iman’s picture, Godchaux upped the ante, commenting, “I love you.”
Clearly, things were already serious.
In May 2022, Iman shared some snaps onInstagramfrom the vacation they took together in Turks and Caicos.
She also posted some pics of Iman’s two daughters with Godchaux’s son from a previous relationship.
Evidently, the spark was so strong that Iman felt compelled to change her travel schedule.
“She missed her flight on purpose just so she could spend more time with me.”
He also said he knew that he was in love with her from the moment they met.
Iman had a similar feeling when she and Godchaux first crossed paths.
“When you know, you know,” she said.
“She had faith in it, I had faith in it.”
Despite the breakup, however, they appear to maintain a comfortable balance as co-parents.
The couples' court filings seem to back up Iman’s statement.
The model was joined by her daughters, Davon Godchaux, and Godchaux’s son.
Iman and Davon Sr. continued to post their adventures and rise above the commentary.
The couple posted lovely pictures of deep blue waters, sunny boat trips, and gorgeous villas.
Amid the dreamy scenery, Iman and Godchaux shared even more big news: their engagement.
Not long after that, Iman and Godchaux had more big news: they were having a baby girl.
Iman’s daughters, Cali and Cassie Shepard, were also there for the reveal.
Of course, everyone was thrilled to learn that another girl was joining the family.
Regardless of the gender, she was happy to be continuing her family with Godchaux.
“Whatever God blesses us with, we are very grateful and happy,” she beamed.
And she was there to work.
Iman showed off her baby bump walking in CupShe’s show, modeling several looks with a smile.
“Having a newborn with eczema it’s something you’re trying to figure out.
I went through so many different dermatologists, nobody could help me.”
Iman continued to boost the campaign on her Instagram and in interviews throughout 2023.
They shared the happy news in a jointInstagrampost.
In the pic, Iman and Davon pose with their newest addition while still in the hospital.
Iman also posted polaroids of the couple and their new baby on her Instagram Stories.
Before her third baby arrived, Iman chatted withEssenceabout balancing motherhood and finding love again.
“I think it’s really important for mothers to allow time for themselves,” she said.
“And I think I wouldn’t look for love.
Let love find you.”
It sure seems like that approach to love has worked out well for Iman.
