Naomi Campbell has shared a rare insight into her new life as a mother, hailing her baby daughter as a ‘dream child’.
The supermodel announced that she had secretly become a first-time mum in May after welcoming a little girl.
Since then, Naomi, 51, has kept her daughter out of the spotlight but she’s now shared an update on the four-month-old.
Speaking to BBC’s Hardtalk, the runway queen revealed: ‘I’m really lucky. I think I have a dream child. She is wonderful. She’s so very independent already.
‘Very smart, alert. Sleeps 12 hours. A good girl.’
Naomi also revealed that she planned on ‘absolutely’ instilling her family values and will raise her daughter to be a strong, independent woman, adding, ‘right down to the hygiene part’.
Announcing her daughter’s surprise arrival, Naomi shared a cute photo of the newborn’s feet cradled in her hands, but making sure to keep her face out of the picture.
In the caption, she said: ‘A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother, 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.’
Naomi has not revealed her daughter’s name or the identity of her baby’s father.
In 2018, Naomi opened up about her plans to start a family one day and told Vogue: ‘I’d love to have kids. I don’t discount anything in life. I love kids and always will.
‘When I’m around children, I become a child myself. That’s the little girl I don’t ever want to lose.’
However, she threw us all off the scent by telling the Wall Street Journal that she wasn’t ready to become a mum, in 2019, adding that she has surrounded herself with a ‘chosen family’ for now.
