Naomi Campbell Becomes A Mom At 50 As She Posts Photo Of Newborn Baby

May 18, 2021

Naomi Campbell is one of the world's most beautiful women and even at 50-years-old, she's still incredibly gorgeous. Being one of the original five supermodels, her lifestyle for many years of her life included jet-setting around the world, attending fabulous parties, wearing gorgeous designer dresses, and being friends with a host of famous faces.

What's incredibly impressive is that she's still working as a model! Last pictured walking the catwalk for Michael Kors in April, Campbell has proven time and again that age is nothing but a number. 

But on top of her work in fashion, Campbell is also an activist who campaigns for various charities and brings awareness to issues in society. She uses her presence on social media to highlight issues that are dear to her heart and often interviews celebrities about causes they're passionate about too.

With her incredibly busy life, you'd think that Campbell would have no time for a personal life, and that's partly true. Having dated a string of notable men over the years, Campbell has actually been engaged twice, but both unions didn't make it to the altar. She's also spoken about wanting to become a mother at some point but that is also a life decision that she hadn't made yet.

Until now! The British model has just surprised the world by announcing that she has become a mother! Sharing a gorgeous photo that only revealed her newborn daughter's tiny little feet, Campbell is clearly over the moon about her new role in life, and judging by the comments on her post, so are her celebrity friends.

It seems that Naomi Campbell's major baby news has caught the world by surprise. Posting to her Instagram account, the 50-year-old model shared a discreet photo that showed her daughter's tiny feet in her own hands. Wearing a pretty white dress that is embroidered with flowers, the image is simply adorable. She captioned the post:

"A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother, So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you my angel. There is no greater love."

Campbell tagged her own mother Valerie Morris-Campbell in the image. The models' famous friends wasted no time in congratulating her. Designer Marc Jacobs wrote:

"Oh my God!!!!! Today is the day?? How absolutely incredible. How lucky she is and how lucky you are! What a wonderful Mother you will be. Blessings all around."

Meanwhile, British Vogue editor Edward Enninful hinted that he'd already met the little bundle of joy:

“Seeing the two of you together made my year. You will bring each other so much joy @naomi.”

Popstar Rita Ora also wrote, "No one deserves this more," while English actress Jamie Winstone added: “Wow congratulations Naomi. BIG, BIG LOVE, wow you're a Mama.” Other celebrities who left messages included Zoe Saldana, "Game of Thrones" actresses Sophie Turner and Gwendoline Christie, fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, Spanish singer Rosalia, and more. It's clear that many of Campbell's famous friends are absolutely thrilled at this new chapter that awaits her in life.

Over the last few years Campbell has spoken in interviews about wanting children, but it appears she's changed her mind a few times. In 2017, while speaking with the Evening Standard, she revealed her desires to have children and admitted her age didn't concern her. She said:

“I think about having children all the time. Now with the way science is I think I can do it when I want ... I'll see what the universe brings me. For now, what the universe has delivered is very much in the spirit of a 'chosen family.'"

However, just two years later in 2019, she admitted she wasn't quite ready to become a mother just yet, according to The Sun. At the time she said, "Not yet — I'll see what the universe brings me." Well, it seems the universe knew it was her time soon after that!

At the time, the model was dating former One Direction member Liam Payne, but after a brief two-month romance the couple called it quits. Prior to that she had dated British rapper Skepta. The two men she has been engaged to in her life include U2 bassist Adam Clayton, who she was with from 1993-1994, and Formula One racing boss Flavio Briatore, who she dated on and off from 1998-2003.

Campbell, whose career spans over three decades, has graced over 500 magazine covers during that time. She's also broken boundaries by being the first black model to appear on TIME magazine, French Vogue, and Russian Vogue covers, and the first British black model to cover British Vogue.

Congratulations to Naomi Campbell on becoming a mother! If you could congratulate the model, what would you say to her? Pass on the wonderful news to other people you know!
