During a recent interview with the UK’s Daily Mail, supermodel Jourdan Dunn opened up about her most important job yet….being a mom. And we love hearing stories of how successful YBF chicks stay on top of their game despite unplanned occurences in life.

The 22-year-old international beauty gushed to the magazine about raising her adorbale son Riley (shown above with her model besties Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevinge) and the large role her own mother plays in his upbringing. ‘I’ve got so much going on at the moment and have been going back and forth between London and New York, so my mum looks after Riley when I’m away. It works well.’

Having her mom help out with Riley also allows Jourdan to branch into other areas outside of modeling, like hosting her online cooking segments. On the popular web series, she teaches famous folks like Wale how to cook her favorite dishes.
