Naomi Campbell hinted at ‘bumps in 2021’ three months before announcing baby news
Naomi Campbell warned there would be ‘bumps’ this year, dropping a major hint about her baby plans three months before announcing the news.
The 50-year-old supermodel surprised the world this week when she revealed she had quietly welcomed a baby girl.
However, perhaps Naomi was telling us all along that she was set to become a mum for the first time.
In an interview which took place in February, Naomi revealed what to expect from the year ahead and told i-D: ‘2021 is going to be a great year, we’ve just got a few more bumps to get through first. I believe that this is going to be an amazing year.
‘Actually, I don’t just believe it will be – I feel it will be.’
Naomi has not disclosed details on how her daughter was conceived or anything about the baby’s father, but sources claim the model has been living with a secret boyfriend in America for some time now.
They told The Sun: ‘Naomi has really mellowed in the past year and is in a wonderful place in life.
‘She has been living in America with her boyfriend and is really happy. It finally felt like the perfect time to become a mother and she is over the moon.’
The source added that she has ‘mellowed’ over the last year and has been ‘prioritising the things in her life that make her happy’.
Naomi has been open about her desire to have children in the past, and once said that she was happy to wait until she was ready due to the advancement in science which allows more flexibility with fertility.
‘I think about having children all the time. But now with the way science is I think I can do it when I want,’ she told the Evening Standard in 2017.
The runway queen announced that she now had a daughter with a sweet photo of her cradling the baby’s tiny feet.
She captioned the image: ‘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.’
