Not so long ago, fans of Naomi Campbell got into an awkward situation during public discussions of the star's plans regarding her possible motherhood. A year ago, a similar embarrassment happened in connection with the appearance of an ultrasound image on the network, indicating the pregnancy of the model. This time it was a photo published on her Instagram: "Black Panther" holding a charming baby in her arms.
The star Naomi Campbell rose to the model sky when at 13 she was taken under her wing by the head of the agency Synchro. Beth Boldt organized the first big shoot for British Elle. The girl, who first appeared on the screen at the age of 8 in Bob Marley's video Is This Love, eventually became famous all over the world thanks to her incredibly long legs, angelic smile and seductive and sexy body.
The life of the model continues to play with bright colors also because she has a fierce disposition and an eccentric character. The unrestrained and emotional "Black Panther" was repeatedly prosecuted (with arrests and summons to court) for insults and the use of physical force against assistants and servants. The explosive mixture of Afro-Jamaican blood that makes itself felt not only makes Campbell the heroine of a scandalous chronicle, but also interferes with equipping her personal life.
The supermodel of the 90s, who is already forty-five "with a big ponytail", has never been married. Despite the fact that among the beauties walking the catwalk and shining on glossy covers, she is practically the champion in the number of eminent boyfriends. One of the last romances that Naomi had with 25-year-old musician Liam Payne in the winter of 2019 ended in parting. Former One Direction vocalist cheated on young model Cheryl Tweedy. For a long time in an interview, Campbell said that she did not consider motherhood for herself outside of marriage. An example of his own mother - to give birth and raise a child on her own - "perceives more as inspiration."
Two gorgeous ladies who look like sisters often appear together at social events. Naomi amazes with her beautiful and seductive body, surprises and shocks the audience just like in her youth. The top model says that she began to engage in the fitness program only after forty and devotes at least half an hour to this every day. In addition, she eats right, adheres to vegetarianism. Combination of loads in the gym with yoga practice helps to be "slim as a panther". No less impressive, even in a bikini, is her mother, who is already in her 70s.
A former dancer from Jamaica, Valerie Morris gave birth to a daughter when she was 19. The groom disappeared in an unknown direction, leaving the girl 4 months pregnant. The young mother did not give up her career for her daughter. During trips to Italy and Switzerland, she left the child with her grandmother.
Campbell did not know her own father (her mother took from her a promise never to see him) and bears the surname of her second husband, Valerie. “Without a father, I think I looked for those paternal qualities in men whom I respect,” says Naomi. Having become the muse of the Parisian fashion designer Azzedine Alaya, she called him dad. Quincy Jones' children considered her to be their sister.
Valerie protected her daughter in the modeling industry, she always supports her in everything. It is unlikely that a woman who puts a career (both her own and her daughter's) above her family dreams of becoming a grandmother. But it was this statement that figured in the next version of motherhood from Campbell: relatives insist on the appearance of an heir, and she does not like pressure: “I constantly think about the child and really want to become a mother. But I'm not going to chase the generally accepted standards. I have my own way."
The star party of beauties marching on the catwalk and posing for the "gloss" is divided into two opposite camps. On the one hand, those who, for various reasons, resolutely refuse to give birth or adoption of children. Some do not have time (they are passionate about their careers), others cherish the beauty of the figure or value their own freedom, others are justified by their character and claim that they are simply not ready. On the other side, there are supermodels who managed to acquire heirs and at the same time remain in demand and successful in the fashion industry or other fields of activity.
Naomi Campbell has always supported the childfree subculture. In numerous interviews, she was extremely categorical in answers to questions about the child and claimed that she was not yet ready for motherhood. But in the future she will definitely have children, and age is not a hindrance. Until recently, the star was not inspired by successful and prosperous examples of mothers such as her catwalk colleagues from the 1990s: Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, as well as Victoria's Secret angels, Heidi Klum and Stephanie, who became large. Seymour.
However, everything changed in 2016, when 42-year-old Tyra Banks (pictured) experienced the joy of motherhood (albeit not independent, but surrogate). Naomi's childfree position has noticeably faltered. The model admitted that she feels the strength "to become a mother, if such a chance presents itself." Speaking about age, a woman who crossed the 45-year-old line began to declare that she should not be “written off” because she wants a child, “and regardless of whether or not there is a man next to her”. In subsequent years, Campbell's thoughts about procreation became more radical and fantasy.
At the beginning of 2018, the supermodel became the heroine of a very action-packed story. Naomi's partner in a hot photo shoot for the February issue of British GQ was one of the most fashionable rappers on the planet Skepta (Joseph Junior Adenuga). A couple from the cover of the magazine were suspected of a romantic relationship, because since the fall of last year they appeared together in public and for a reason showed the world such a passion in photography. It was rumored that for the sake of Skepta, Campbell left a much wealthier admirer - the 62-year-old Egyptian millionaire Luis Camilleri.
In July, the rapper announced that he would soon become a father and posted an ultrasound image of the face of the unborn child on Instagram. Followers instantly attributed Naomi's pregnancy. The topic did not leave the Internet forums and was full of notes in the press until the paparazzi intervened. In the photo of the star taken during this period, there was not a single hint of her rounded tummy. The tabloids, having got to the bottom of the truth, found that the result of the examination belonged to Skepta's girlfriend, with whom he has been living for quite some time. The plot was exhausted when the image of Campbell was shared on the Internet by French photographer Vincent Darre, with whom the beauty spends time together.
Another equally provocative outburst of information on the social network in May 2019 was the publication on Naomi's Instagram account of a photo with a baby in her arms. Fans rushed to congratulate the star on the joyful event. And only a few, having paid attention to the date, realized that this was another PR from Campbell. May 12 - Mother's Day, which is celebrated on the second Sunday of this month in many countries. Fans loyal to the star clarified that by posting a touching photo with the baby, the model "just paid tribute to the holiday, and for this it is not necessary to be a mother."
As for Campbell herself, there were no official statements or comments on this topic from her, except for the "emoji" hearts with which she accompanied the picture. Why not congratulate one of the mothers celebrating Mother's Day in such an original way and borrow a newborn baby from her for a photo shoot? In the show industry, all is fair to attract attention.
The famous British supermodel is one of the most passionate philanthropists in the fashion world. Many of the community projects in which Naomi Campbell is the initiator and participant are dedicated to children. “Black Panther” admits that he loves children very much and gets along well with them: “I do not devalue anything in life. I love children and will always love. When they surround me, I become a child myself. This is the little girl I never want to lose."
The first charity project in 1992 was to support the starving children of Africa. Then she collaborated with the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, for which the model organized a Versace charity show. The Fashion For Relief Foundation, which she founded, organizes shows, the proceeds of which are sent to help newborn children and pregnant women in Africa. An avid bag collector, Naomi donated the most expensive piece to charity: a Hermes Birkin made of alligator skin worth several thousand dollars. The proceeds from the auction were donated to the White Ribbon Alliance.
Not so long ago, the tabloids wrote that, right from the wedding of her friend designer Marc Jacobs, Campbell flew to the Black Continent. As part of the events held in Cape Town by the South African foundation Amoyo Performing Arts, the actress and musician gave theater classes for children, danced African dances with them. In July 2019, the brand lover, dressed in a modest polka-dot sundress, visited Elmgreen School in South London and shared her inspiring success story with students.
The public and fans are trying to predict what the 90s supermodel will celebrate her 50th anniversary. She regularly demonstrates her beautiful body by posing in a bikini. The reason for wearing a wig, which is of interest to many, has also already been highlighted by publishing a photo of her natural hairstyle with the inscription "Strip it all". First appearing on the cover of Arab Vogue, in an interview with this publication, the star unexpectedly said: “I would love to become a mother … I don’t want to write off anything in life. I accepted my mistakes and learned a lesson from them. And I will not be their hostage. " Apparently, to attract everyone's attention, another "duck" about her motherhood will soon be launched. In the meantime, the supermodel realizes her parental potential by communicating with children and adolescents. Attending schools around the world, Naomi Campbell teaches black girls, among other things, sex education lessons. This gives her unforgettable emotions and "inspires new achievements."
