Naomi Campbell is a mom! On Tuesday, the 50-year-old supermodel announced that she had quietly welcomed her first child, a little girl. “A wonderful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” she said of a photo of her holding her daughter’s feet. “It is a great honor for me to have this gentle soul in my life. There are no words to describe the lifelong bond I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love.”

Naomi had already talked about starting a family in an interview with 2017 Evening standard Magazine. “I think about having children all the time,” she said at the time. “But now, the way science is, I think I can do it if I want to.” Congratulations to Naomi on her exciting news!
