Model and TV presenter Ashley Graham recently revealed that her husband had a vasectomy as they plan not to have any more children.

Graham, who has already welcomed three children with Justin Ervin, said that going from having one child to having three was difficult without the assistance of her mother because she had no idea how much work it would take to raise them before they arrived.

The model, who had an awkward interview with actor Hugh Grant on the red carpet of the just-concluded Oscars, has spoken out about the controversy and claims she is only concerned with kindness.

Graham, 35, got candid about her family and the many obstacles she faced while juggling motherhood and a successful career.

The model revealed that her husband, Justin Ervin, underwent a vasectomy so that they wouldn't end up having another child, as reported by TMZ in an interview on the "Milk Drunk" podcast by Bobbie, an organic formula company.

Graham and Ervin, 34, got married in 2010 and waited nine years before having children, which according to her, helped them get to know each other well and communicate better.

She said that after having her first child, she was eager to have another, and when she did, it turned out to be twins, but she wasn't ready for the aftermath of all of a sudden having three children.

She divulged that she almost died from a horrific hemorrhage while delivering her twin sons last year, after which her husband underwent a vasectomy.

The former "American Beauty Star" host discussed what it was like transitioning from having just one child to having three, explaining that it was quite the ordeal.

Graham shared that having her body change momentarily due to having kids and her body being necessary for her line of work was the hardest thing for her.

"I don't know what it'll be like going from one to two, and in fact, when I'm hanging out with the three of them and somebody comes to take one out of the equation, I'm like, 'Wow, two is still easy,'" she joked.

Graham continued, "but I think for me, it was my body that changed and having my body be a part of my work, and it being something that is a topic of conversation and one that I'm gonna be talking about for the rest of my life, that was probably the hardest thing for me."

Graham and Ervin share sons Isaac, 3, and Roman and Malachi, both one.

Graham, well-known for her body advocacy, shared the story of her complicated childbirth with Glamour magazine, noting that what she went through "reshaped my relationship with my body."

The model, who experienced a miscarriage in 2021 before giving birth to twin boys eleven months later, described how she started bleeding and lost consciousness after labor.

"I don't feel good. I think I need to lay down," Graham recalled telling her midwife, per Daily Mail. "I blacked out, and all I can remember is feeling a light touch on my cheek, which I found out later was actually somebody smacking the crap out of my cheek, someone holding my hand, my husband Justin in my ear, praying, and someone jabbing me with a needle in my arm. And I remember seeing darkness and what seemed like stars."

She added, "When I finally came out, I looked around and I saw everybody. They just kept saying to me, 'You're fine. You're fine. You're fine.' They didn't want to tell me, right then, that I'd lost liters of blood."

On the red carpet of the recently-held Oscar awards, Graham had a very awkward interview with veteran actor Hugh Grant, 62. 

Graham asked him basic questions like what he was wearing, to which he sarcastically replied, "just my suit," instead of the usual designer's name. "My tailor," he said when she pressed further on who made his suit.

She also tried complimenting him on his brief appearance in Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," but the actor wasn't having it as he said, "well I'm barely In it. I'm in it for like three seconds."

She recently addressed the drama between them, saying she has nothing but love for Grant. "You know what? My mama told me to kill people with kindness, so there you go," she told TMZ.
