In the wide-ranging interview, Nicole spoke about the juggling act of being a mother and also working as a successful model.

She's modelled for high-end designers Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Gucci among many others.
In 2015, the outspoken model appeared on the cover of Elle magazine breast-feeding her then newborn son, Zion.
'I didn't think it was going to be such a big deal,' she told Good Morning America in May, before the issue hit newsstands.
'There's nothing worse than, as a mother, doing something that's so necessary like feeding your child and feeling like somebody could have an opinion about it.'
