When it comes to being a new mother, Naomi Campbell is proving that age is nothing more than a number. The 53-year-old model took to her Instagram to share an exciting announcement with her fans and followers – she’s officially a mother of two! The reveal came as a complete surprise to everyone.
She posted a photo of herself holding the newborn baby boy in her arms – she was holding onto her son’s and daughter’s hand. The elegant photo was a sign of unity among the trio, though we weren’t able to see the baby’s face – or anyone’s face, for that matter. What’s most important is that he’s here and healthy!
“My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A True Gift from God, blessed ! Welcome Babyboy,” she wrote in the caption on Instagram – adding ‘it’s never too late to become a mother,’ even if you’ve entered your 50s.

The exciting reveal comes just two years after she welcomed her first child at 50 years – a daughter who turned 2 years old in May. “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,” she wrote at the time.
As for the newest addition to her growing family, one source is telling PEOPLE that she never used to imagine herself as being a mom – but things have changed as she has gotten older. She has spent the past few years working on herself and preparing herself for this moment – a moment that’s finally here!
Over the last years, she really worked on herself. She got sober and really transformed,” the source explained to PEOPLE magazine. “She now has more than enough love to give two children. If you think about it, she’s done everything she’s ever wanted to do, on her own terms. That includes motherhood.”
When she made the announcement, many people started wondering how she welcomed a child at 53 years old – especially since there were no signs of a pregnancy. According to the Daily Mail, she welcomed the child via a surrogate and the baby was born on Saturday (June 24) in Los Angeles, California.

A source close to Naomi Campbell is telling Daily Mail that the baby wasn’t just a surprise to her fans and followers – even those in her wider circle (including friends and colleagues) had no idea of the baby until she announced the addition on June 29. In fact, only a handful of people were aware of the baby boy.
“Suddenly she postponed a work commitment because she needed to be at her surrogate’s side and the next moment, she had a beautiful baby boy. There was a lot of surprise, and of course happiness,” the source explained. They also confirmed she’s raising her two children by herself and is currently single.
