Former Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie premiered her new video over the weekend. The single, which proudly proclaims she's “got that ‘milf’ money”, features Fergie and a number of other high-profile mothers including Kim Kardashian-West, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gemma Ward and Ciara.
Moments from the video include Fergie pouring milk over herself, Kardashian-West taking a selfie, Ambrosio and her daughter drinking milk and Teigen breastfeeding her and husband John Legends’ three-month-old baby Luna.
Teigen explained the inclusion of Luna in the video was last-minute and shared her delight in being able to capture the "beautiful" moment for it.
“It was, [Luna’s] here and it’s ‘MILF Money’ – I would love to capture this moment with her,” the model told People. “I think it’s beautiful.”
The 30-year-old said Luna starred in the video at four weeks old and the scene was impromptu as “it was her natural lunch time anyway”.
Since becoming a new mother, Teigen has shared a number of photos with her vast social media following depicting life as a breastfeeding mother. These have included mid-breastfeed photos or ones that convey an effect of breastfeeding which is much less glamorous than her depiction in the music video. For example, the below Instagram post:
Teigen joins a number of other high-profile women who have breastfed in the public eye and sought to break down any remaining, outdated taboos. Supermodels Natalia Vodianova, Doutzen Kroes, Gisele Bundchen and Miranda Kerr have all shared photos of themselves breastfeeding on Instagram while last year the model Nicole Trufino breastfed her five-month-old son on the cover of ELLE Australia.
