Karlie Kloss Welcomes Baby Girl Rae Florence — Pray for Mom, Dad & Newborn

Breaking news — the announcement

Model and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rae Florence, on September 18, 2025. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram, posting tender photos of the newborn and the simple caption revealing her name and birthdate. 

News outlets and lifestyle sites quickly carried the announcement, noting that Rae Florence joins older brothers Levi and Elijah and that friends and family have been sending congratulations.

About Karlie Kloss — background and why this matters

Karlie Elizabeth Kloss (born 1992) is an American model, former Victoria’s Secret Angel, and the founder of the education initiative Kode with Klossy, which supports girls and young women in learning to code. She has used her platform to promote education, empowerment and philanthropy while maintaining a measured, family-centred public presence. 

Karlie and Joshua married in October 2018 and have previously welcomed two sons — Levi (born 2021) and Elijah (born 2023). The arrival of a daughter marks a new chapter for the family and attracts broad public interest because of Karlie’s high-profile career and advocacy work. 

Recent developments & public response

The birth announcement was shared on the couple’s Instagram accounts with a black-and-white photo of Rae’s tiny hand clasping a parent’s finger and a simple caption: “Welcome to the world Rae Florence 9.18.25 ✨.” Social media filled with congratulations from friends, colleagues and fans; reaction covered widely in outlets including People, E! Online, Motherly and TMZ. 

While the family celebrates, public interest also brings exposure — which creates both opportunities (to model grace and gratitude) and challenges (privacy, intrusive commentary). The family has signalled a desire to protect their children’s privacy while still sharing their joy.

Why we are praying 

We call believers to intercede for this family for several reasons. Our prayers come from love, not gossip:

• Health & recovery: Pray for Karlie’s full recovery from childbirth, for safe postpartum healing, and for the newborn’s health and strong growth.
• Family bonding & parenting wisdom: Pray for gentle transition as the family grows to five — for deepened love between Karlie and Joshua and wise, patient parenting for Levi and Elijah as they welcome a sister.
• Grace in publicity: Pray the couple will be protected from harmful intrusion; that media and public commentary will be respectful and kind rather than sensational. 
• Platform stewardship: Karlie’s work in education and women’s empowerment gives her influence; pray she will steward public attention for GOOD and point people toward hope, truth, and service.
• Spiritual awakening & salvation: Above all, pray that Karlie, Joshua, their children and everyone touched by their story will encounter Jesus personally — that joy in a new life would also become a moment of spiritual openness and growth.
• Practical provision: Pray for practical peace and provision — trusted caregivers, emotional rest, wise boundaries, and supportive community around the family.
