Supermodel Naomi Campbell surprised everyone and shared that she had her first baby. The news took everyone by surprise because many didn’t know she was expecting and the beautiful model turned 50-years-old recently. She announced the unexpected birth on social media this week. A representative for Campbell confirmed the news.

“A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” Campbell wrote on Instagram. “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.”

The announcement accompanied a sweet photo of her hand cradling the newborn’s feet, with the delicate floral print of the baby’s gown visible in the image.

The model’s mother Valerie Morris-Campbell shared a sweet post congratulating her daughter on the new addition.

“Literally I dead-stopped when that woman asked me, ‘Do you have kids?’ and I looked at her and I go, ‘I do.’ … It was so moving,” Kotb, now 56, said.
