Coco Rocha on why 'it would be unfair to have a kid' as she calls herself a Christian first and model second

At age 22, model Coco Rocha married her interior designer boyfriend James Cronan. Now, the 24-year-old Jehovah's Witness has revealed she would love to start a family, but sees it as 'unfair' right now.
While Miss Rocha, who is joining Naomi Campbell on the new reality competition for up-and-coming models called The Face, is a vocal advocate of model's labor rights, she rarely speaks about her own personal life.
But for the latest issue of FASHION magazine, the supermodel spoke about her career, religious beliefs and future family plans.

She said: 'At the beginning of my career there were photos and moments I wish I wasn’t a part of but I didn’t realize I could say "no."
Now I know that. I grew up - and still am - a practising Jehovah’s Witness and believe in everything the Bible has to say. I’m a Christian first and a model second.'
She revealed that while children are on her agenda, she believes her hectic career stands in the way of starting a family just yet.

'Right now it would be unfair to have a kid in the mess of all my life,' she said. 'But when my work is done, I would love to have kids with James.'

On her new role as a mentor on the upcoming reality series, The Face, also starring Karolina Kurkova, she said: 'It’s fascinating having three different mentors on the show - Naomi being the generation of the original supermodel Trinity, Karolina being part of the whole Victoria’s Secret world and me, who’s known for edgy editorial.'
Miss Rocha, who regularly speaks out against the demand for models to be size zero, pose topless and have the 'anorexic look,' as she was once advised, added the importance of sticking up for yourself in fashion.
'It’s important for every model to have a voice. When I started modelling, people said to me, "You’re going to have to throw away your beliefs in order to be a successful model." But I didn’t.'
The red-head beauty started her modeling career in 2004, after signing with Supreme in New York and this April she became the first high fashion model to have more than 1 million followers on the social media platform Google+.
In spring she starred in a campaign for Banana Republic's upcoming collaboration with designer label Trina Turk.
She has also previously modelled for brands including Longchamp, Louis Vuitton, Christian Lacroix, and Emanuel Ungaro.
