Supermodel Naomi Campbell on Thursday announced the arrival of her second child, a baby boy.
Campbell, 53, made the surprise announcement on Instagram with a photo of herself and her two-year-old daughter holding hands with the newborn.
“My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence,” she captioned the post. “A True Gift from God, blessed! Welcome Babyboy.”
“It’s never too late to become a mother,” Campbell added, along with the hashtag #mumoftwo. She did not reveal the name of her son.
Many industry colleagues took to the comments to congratulate Naomi and her family. Fans also showered love on the new mom and her children. One commented on her post, "Naomi having a baby at 53 is proof that it’s never too late to have kids." One more wrote, "Love and blessings to your sweet family."
In May 2021, Naomi said she welcomed her first child in a since-deleted Instagram announcement. "A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother," she captioned a photo of her holding her baby girl's feet. However, she has not yet revealed her daughter's name. Her then-nine-month-old daughter was also featured on the cover of British Vogue for its March 2022 issue.
In the cover image, Naomi holds her daughter protectively against her chest, wearing a black outfit against a neutral backdrop.
In the accompanying interview, she said she had told very few people she was going to become a mother, a decision she appears to have made again regarding her second child.
“I can count on one hand the number of people who knew that I was having her,” she said. “But she is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” Asked if she would consider growing her family further still, she responded, “Why not?”
