Fans are gushing over more rare photos of Naomi Campbell and her daughter. The renowned supermodel has not shared many photos of her little one, but on Sunday, June 12, she gave fans a glimpse into her precious daughter’s life. The 52-year-old shared photos of herself and her mini me taking her first steps by the lake.

“My love, My heartbeat. First steps walking,” she captioned the photo of the pair holding hands near a pond with three red heart emojis.

Campbell’s 12.9 million followers showed lots of love in the comments section of her post. Among them was fellow supermodel and mom, Iman, who wrote, “Enjoy…they grow up so fast.” Bravo’s Andy Cohen said, “There she goes!” Here’s what others had to say.

“And she’s off.”

“OMG she is so big.”

“Oh she’s growing. Beautiful moments.”

“Big girl tings.”

“Go for it, beautiful Nile!”

Nile is a name frequently mentioned in the comments, but Campbell has yet to reveal the child’s name, age, birthday, and father.

Many doted over the “beautiful moment” between the legendary runway model and her daughter. Dozens more followed suit by sharing several heart emojis. One individual hoping the child will follow in her iconic mother’s footsteps said, “Two icons in one frame. Too iconic to handle.”

Another person flipped a lyric from the extended version of Beyoncé‘s 2007 hit “Get Me Bodied.” They wrote, “Walk across the Garden Like Naomi Campbell.”

The original song goes, “Do the Naomi Campbell Walk…Naomi Campbell Walk. Walk across the room like Naomi Campbell.”

Naomi Campbell revealed she became a mother in May 2021 with a sweet photo of herself cradling her newborn’s toes. The mother-daughter duo posed for the March cover of British Vogue earlier this year. The outlet revealed that Campbell plans to share more details about her motherhood journey in an upcoming memoir.

“But she is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” said the host of “No Filter With Naomi” shared during her interview.

“I’m like a kid again. I’m reliving nursery rhymes, playing, and discovering how many great new toys there are out there in the world! And dolls! Things I couldn’t even dream of.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
