Naomi Campbell, mother by surprise at 50

Naomi Campbell is in the news for a surprising announcement: she just became a mother. The legendary model announced the good news herself through social media. She also shared a first image of her baby.

"A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother," said the model while she showed this tender image.

"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."

Even if we don't know the sex of the baby (though many media suggest it's a girl), the scoop of Naomi Campbell becoming a mother at age 50 is big enough news in itself.  The model is 51 on May 22.

It's unexpected news for the general public, as hardly anyone was aware that Naomi Campbell had plans to become a mother.

The good news of Naomi Campbell has quickly become one of the internet hypes of the moment, generating all kinds of comments. In fact, the model's name has been trending on social media for hours since her announcement.

The birth of Naomi Campbell's first daughter comes in what many have labelled the 'baby boom of the fashion world.'

Models Hanneli Mustaparta and Georgina Fowler are currently expecting a baby. Others, like Karolina Kurkova, have recently become moms.

Now, the muse of the catwalks of the '90s joins this list of top models who decided (and were lucky enough) to become moms in 2021.

Of course, Naomi Campbell's first baby was conceived in the utmost secret and only those closest to the model knew how close she was to becoming a mother.

Naomi Campbell had indicated a while back in 'People' magazine that she was hoping for children. "In fact," she had said, "I think about having children all the time."

It seems that now, in 2021, her dreams have come true.
