Naomi Campbell said for the first time that her children were born thanks to a surrogate mother

Supermodel Naomi Campbell spoke for the first time about the fact that her children were born thanks to a surrogate mother. Everyone already guessed about this, because Campbell’s first child was born when she was 50 years old (she is now 54 years old), and she herself was not seen pregnant, but Campbell never spoke about surrogacy publicly. The star confirmed her guesses in a new interview with the Times. When asked if the surrogate mother gave birth to the children, Campbell replied: “Yes.” She also said that her daughter was born in May 2021, and her son in June 2023. Naomi did not disclose the names of the children.

Campbell also shared her thoughts on motherhood: "I've heard so many times girls say they don't want kids and maybe won't in the future, and I always said, 'You'll change your mind. You will want to become a mother." I understand that it is financially expensive. But my mother, for example, had nothing at all, and yet she managed. It's worth it. It's amazing."

The supermodel noted that having children made her rethink a lot: “My children are everything to me. And it makes me fear the future. I want a better world for my children. Children are 110 percent my priority. We must trust the younger generation if want to change this world. I trust my children more than we trust them to do the right thing."

After it became known that Naomi Campbell had a daughter, there were rumors at one time that the girl was adopted. But Campbell dispelled them in an interview with Vogue magazine shortly after the birth of her daughter: “This is my baby,” she said at the time. Together with her daughter, she also starred on the cover of the magazine.

Naomi Campbell is raising her children alone—in an interview she calls herself a “single mother.” Nothing is known about the father (or fathers) of the children: some suspect that Naomi resorted to the services of donors. But it is known that Lenny Kravitz became her daughter’s godfather.

In the past, the supermodel had many high-profile romances, including dating Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin for several years. Who Naomi Campbell is dating now is unknown. A few months ago she was credited with an affair with 37-year-old film producer from Saudi Arabia Mohammed Al Turki, with whom she appeared in public, but it soon became known that they were just friends.
