Ashley Grahamis opening up about some recent difficulties as a mom.
Speaking with PEOPLE at the launch ofEva Chen’s new kidswear collaboration with H&M in New York City, the model and mother of three, 35, recalled a moment she recently “started to spiral” when her flight was canceled from Los Angeles back to New York City.
“It was a journey getting home from L.A. and it took way longer than it should have,” she says. “My flight kept on getting delayed and delayed and then eventually, canceled.”
Graham says that while everyone in her family kept “cool, calm and collected” throughout the travel disaster, she “started to spiral.”
“I started crying. I knew I only had one day to see [my kids]. And as a mom, when you’re planning out your time to see your children, every minute matters.”

“But what I am really grateful for is that every stage of their lives is so fun and so different that it doesn’t matter,” she continues. “Once we’re graduating one stage, we hop to another and it’s just a different kind of experience and fun.”
Graham also shares that having three kids has beenhard to manage at times.
“They’re so different,” she says of her twins. “I tell them all the time, you’re just brothers born at the same time. You’re not twins. They’re just not alike. So I’ve got three very distinct different personalities in the home.”
“It’s a lot. I’m juggling them and my career and being married," she adds. “And it’s like every day you just have to pray and have your peace and then you can get through it.”
