If you have an appreciation for delightful toddlers and stunning male models, you’re in for a treat with this Instagram account.
Launched in 2016 by Jessica Lane, the account Babyandthebody has become a family affair, featuring her striking model brother, Nathan, and her adorable 18-month-old son, Leo. The inspiration for this charming account came when Nathan, 28, relocated to New York City to pursue a modeling career and began sharing his impressive photos on social media. Be cautioned: a click to his profile could lead to hours of scrolling!
Jessica decided to join in on the fun by posting side-by-side photos of Leo mimicking her brother’s poses. “I sent the first picture to my family with the caption ‘Who wore it better?’” she shared with Modern Family Blog. Their laughter encouraged her to take it online, and thus, Babyandthebody was born—a true testament to family bonds.
In an interview, Jessica revealed that Nathan is thrilled with the attention his baby nephew is receiving. “He absolutely loves it! From the moment I first shared that side-by-side, I knew he would be on board because it’s just too funny,” she explained. Interestingly, every week, she sends the latest photos to her 88-year-old grandmother before posting them. “I call her on Sunday nights, and she excitedly asks, ‘Is it time?!’”
When asked if Leo might follow in his uncle’s modeling footsteps (and who could blame him with that adorable face?), she joked, “For now, I’ll let Uncle Nathan have that territory.” However, she did mention that Leo tends to be a bit of a drama king, which makes it hard to tell if he’s feeling himself or just being his usual playful self. Who knows, a future model may be in the making!
