Naomi Campbell, 53, has quietly welcomed her second child, a boy

In between posting her latest John Galliano X Maison Margiela fashion edits, Naomi Campbell made a special announcement: she has welcomed her second child! She welcomed her first child, a daughter, in April/May of 2021. The girl – whose name is still unknown? – is more than two years old now. Well, for the second time around, Naomi welcomed a baby boy. She posted the first photo on her Instagram, writing: “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 also added the hashtag #mumoftwo

Naomi was 50 when she welcomed her first child, and she’s currently 53 years old. Naomi hasn’t discussed the nitty-gritty of how she came to motherhood. In a British Vogue cover story last year, she did say that her daughter “wasn’t adopted, she’s my child.” Which… isn’t a great way to talk about adopted children, but I also took to mean that her daughter is “hers” genetically. There’s no evidence that Naomi has been pregnant, so I would assume we’re talking about Naomi working with a gestational carrier? I really don’t know. But I’m glad she’s happy and she clearly loves being a mom. She has the means, she has the time, she has the inclination. Will sh-t get real when she’s in her 60s and she has two rambunctious tweens in the house? Yes. It will.

These are all photos from May – Naomi at the Met Gala and attending premieres at the Cannes Film Festival.
