Naomi Campbell is a mother.

The 50-year-old supermodel announced on Instagram on Tuesday that she had welcomed a little girl.

“A nice little blessing made me her mother. It is a great honor for me to have this gentle soul in my life. There are no words to describe the lifelong bond I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love, ”she said of a photo of herself holding the newborn’s feet.

A source says exclusively on Page Six: “Naomi has long wanted to be a mother and it finally happened. She is the godmother of many friends and children in the family and has always looked forward to the day of starting her own family. “

Many celebrity friends of Campbell sent their good wishes after sharing the news.

Zoe Saldana commented: “Oh my goodness, congratulations, lady! What a blessing !!! “

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 everywhere. ❤️❤️❤️. ”

Andy Cohen interfered: “👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

New mother Sophie Turner left a simple red heart on the post as Jodie Turner-Smith wrote, “Many, many, many congratulations to you and your family – the village that now gathers around you and you in cultivating this little one Engels supports! !!! What an incredible blessing !!! 💞💞💞. ”

While this is Campbell’s first child, in the past she has been open to wanting to welcome a baby into her life.

“I always think about having children,” she told Evening Standard magazine in May 2017.

Campbell later told WSJ. Magazine in October 2019 that she was open to anything the universe brings her.
