On May 5, Culpo compiled clips recorded after she gave birth, beginning with footage of her in tears and continuing with more serene videos of her spending time with her daughter.
"Postpartum is the hardest thing l've ever done... and somehow the best thing that's ever happened to me. Both can exist," she wrote in overlaying text. In her caption, she added, "Best thing in the world 🤍."
