Naomi Campbell became a mother at 50

Naomi Campbell surprised the world by announcing on May 19 that she became a mother. The 50-year-old supermodel posted a photo of a little girl’s feet in her palm and wrote:

“A wonderful little blessing from above has chosen me as her mother. I am so happy that this gentle soul has come into my life, and I have no words to describe our relationship, which I now feel, my angel. There is probably no greater love. “

Naomi’s unexpected confession, the statement caused a storm of emotions among her colleagues and fans, and many celebrities heartily congratulated the newly-made mom in the comments.

• Marc Jacobs: “Oh my God!!!!! Today?? Absolutely incredible. How lucky she is and how lucky you are! What a wonderful mom you will be. “
• Donatella Versace: “Naomi, today I have changed from a sister to an aunt! I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to meet her! Love, Donatella and Allegra. “
• Zoe Saldana: “My God, congratulations, my lady! What happiness !!! “
• Rita Ora: “Nobody deserves this more than you.”
• Helena Christensen: “So happy for you, my friend. I knew that someday you will become a mother. “

Long way to dream

Although the model’s statement sounded like a bolt from the blue, since no one knew whether she carried the child herself or resorted to surrogate motherhood, Naomi had repeatedly spoken about her desire to become a mother before. In an interview with ES Magazine in 2017, Campbell said she wants a baby when she’s ready, given the advancement in science:

“I think about the child all the time. But now, with the development of science, I believe that I will take this decision whenever I want to. “

When asked if she would prefer to have a child herself rather than adopt, Naomi replied: “May be”.

In other interviews, the supermodel also voiced her desire to start a family:

“I want the same as any other woman: home, children and everything connected with it.”

Naomi has regularly voiced how much she loves children and will never give up on the idea of ​​becoming a mother:

“I would like to have children. I love them and will always love them. When I am with children, I myself become a child, such a little girl. “

Conflicting claims and an unstable personal life

Nevertheless, in 2019, Naomi suddenly announced that she was not yet ready for a child:

“Not yet … I will wait and see what the universe will bring me in the future.”

Moreover, Naomi even insisted that she did not want to be a single parent and wanted to raise the child with a suitable partner:

“I really need a father to bring up together. I think this is important. Today I think so. “

Campbell has always tried to keep her personal life a secret, and she is now known to be single. However, over the years, she has had affairs with a number of celebrities such as rapper Diddy (Sean Combs), Robert De Niro, and Mike Tyson. Her last chosen one was 27-year-old One Direction frontman Liam Payne, whom Naomi briefly dated after breaking up with rapper Skepta in 2018.

In her life, the supermodel was engaged twice: once with the Italian businessman Flavio Briatore in 1998-2003, and the second time with the Russian businessman Vladislav Doronin (2008-2013).
