‘It’s Never Too Late’: Naomi Campbell Welcomes Her Second Child at 53, Shares Adorable Photo of Her Newborn Son’s and Daughter’s Fingers Touching

Congratulations are in order for Naomi Campbell, who revealed that she welcomed her second child, a baby boy, at 53.

Nearly two years ago, the former supermodel and fashion diva shocked the world when she revealed that she was a first-time mom and now she’s done it again.

On June 29, Campbell shared a photo of herself holding the newborn in her arms as he cradled her finger. Her 2-year-old daughter, whose name has yet to be revealed, also can be seen in the photo reaching over to hold the joined hands of her mother and her baby brother.

“My little darling,” she wrote in her caption, “know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A True Gift from God, blessed ! Welcome Babyboy. #mumoftwo. It’s never too late to become a mother.”

Other celebrity moms such as Elaine Welteroth, Marjorie Harvey, La La Anthony, Kelly Rowland, Zoe Saldana, as well as fellow supermodel mothers like Cindy Crawford, Iman and Ashley Graham, flooded Campbell’s comments section with congratulatory messages.

“Naomi having a baby at 53 is proof that it’s never too late to have kids.”

“I love this for you so much Naomi.”

“And then there were TWO! A boyfriend for Lucy! I’m so happy for you!”

“She was pregnant?!”

Campbell revealed that she welcomed a daughter in May 2021 at 50, by sharing an adorable photo of her feet inside of her mother’s hand. Similar to her first child, her son’s face was not revealed. She also has yet to disclose her daughter or son’s names or the biological father or fathers.

Many are wondering if her baby boy will make a big splash on the cover of a magazine the same way Campbell did with her daughter on the cover of British Vogue at nine months old.

Fans called British Vogue intrusive for trying to pressure her into revealing information about her daughter’s birth. 

In response, Campbell said, “She wasn’t adopted – she’s my child.”

She admitted that she was keeping her daughter’s name private, noting that only a handful even knew she was pregnant.

“I can count on one hand the number of people who knew that I was having her,” Campbell confessed. “But she is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
