Graham is a mother to three sons – Isaac, 2, and 5-month-old twins Malachi and Roman – whom she shares with her husband Justin Ervin.
She welcomed the twin boys on Jan. 7 in a near-death birthing experience which she previously detailed for Glamour. In a personal essay, she described losing "liters of blood" and not being able to walk for a week after.

The supermodel shared more about her life as a new mom-of-three in May, telling PEOPLE that she feels "it's the right thing to do to share a part of me and what I've had to go through –— with either breastfeeding, or pregnancy and postpartum hair loss, whatever it may be."
She documented her lactation issues on Instagram earlier this year, expressing how learning to breastfeed for the second time was "overwhelming." Despite having an easier process with her firstborn Isaac, she says she had a tougher time with her youngest.

"I feel grateful that I had a lactation nurse, who was also my Doula, work with me and she was so calm, and kind and patient with me, and really helped me perfect it," Graham said. "It took me a good three weeks to really, really get there."
