CNN –
Naomi Campbell announced the birth of her second child on Thursday, nearly two years after giving birth to a daughter.
“My little darling, know that from the moment you graced us with your presence, you are valued beyond measure and surrounded by love. “A true gift from God,” the 53-year-old supermodel wrote in an Instagram post, which showed her and her daughter holding hands with the newborn. “Welcome baby boy,” she added.
CNN has reached out to Campbell’s publicist for comment.
Since her birth in May 2021, Campbell has kept most details of her daughter’s life private, including her name, and has rarely shared photos of her publicly.
Last year, however, the pair posed together for the March 2022 cover of British Vogue, photographed by Campbell’s longtime friend and collaborator Steven Meisel. In the cover photo, Campbell holds her daughter protectively to her chest and wears an understated black outfit against a neutral background.
In the accompanying interview, she said she told very few people she was going to be a mother, a decision she apparently made about her second child as well.
“I can, on the one hand, count the number of people who knew I was getting them,” she said. “But she is the greatest blessing I can ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” When asked if she would consider expanding her family even further, she replied, “Why not?”
Most recently, Campbell walked the red carpet at the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival in May and sat front row at Pharrell Williams’ inaugural men’s collection for Louis Vuitton earlier this month.
Campbell also told British Vogue at the time that she “always knew that one day she would have a child,” and shared similar sentiments in her Instagram post on Thursday.
“It’s never too late to become a mom,” she wrote.
