Naomi Campbell has welcomed her first child — a baby girl.
The supermodel, who is 50, announced the news on Instagram.
“A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” Campbell captioned the Tuesday post, which included a close-up image of her newborn’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.”
Fellow fashion industry veterans and friends quickly poured their congratulatory messages in the comments after learning of the model’s big baby news.
“Oh my God!!!!! Today is the day?? How absolutely incredible,” commented designer Marc Jacobs. “How lucky she is and how lucky you are! What a wonderful Mother you will be. Blessings all around. ❤️❤️❤️”
Actress Jodie Turner-Smith also sent well wishes, writing, “Many many many congratulations to you and to your family—the village that will now rally around you and support you in cultivating that little angel!!!! what an incredible blessing!!! 💞💞💞”
Though Campbell did not previously reveal to the public that she was planning on starting a family this year, she has spoken out about her desire to become a mother one day.
“I think about having children all the time,” she told the Evening Standard in 2017. “But now with the way science is I think I can do it when I want.”
