Supermodel Naomi Campbell has traveled the world and rubbed elbows with some of the most famous people in the world, but at 50 years old, she is embarking on a different kind of adventure: Motherhood. Campbell announced on Instagram on Tuesday that she has welcomed her first child.
“A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” Campbell wrote, sharing a photo of her hands cupping her baby’s feet. “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, who turns 51 on May 22, tagged her mother, model Valerie Morris-Campbell, in the post.
Discovered at the age of 15, Naomi Campbell established herself amongst the most recognisable and in-demand models of the late 1980s, the 1990s and the earlier 2000s including modern-day.
She was one of six models of her generation declared supermodels by the fashion industry and the international press.
In addition to her modelling career, Campbell has embarked on other ventures, including an R&B studio album and several acting appearances in film and television, such as the modelling-competition reality show The Face and its international offshoots.
