Naomi Campbell has treated fans to a rare glimpse of her baby daughter as they celebrated their very first Mother’s Day together.
The 52-year-old supermodel welcomed the infant in secret in May 2021 – and decided to give her army of admirers a rare glimpse of her baby on Sunday.
Sharing a series of snaps on her Instagram, Naomi showed off her beautiful bond with her baby girl with a picture of them embraced in a park while enjoying the spring sunshine.
The mum-of-one is seen kissing her little girl, who she’s kept mostly out of the public eye since her birth, on the cheek while she looks off over her mum’s shoulder.
Naomi hid her baby girl’s face but the ten-month is already following in her mum’s taste for fashionable clothing.
The little one looked super cute in her green tartan dress, matching emerald shoes, tights and a little cardigan.
In a second image, the runway icon paid tribute to her own mum, Valerie Campbell, with a beautiful snap of her holding her granddaughter, looking lovingly into her eyes and beaming.
A third picture shows a throwback of Valerie with Naomi as a child.
“1st Mothers Day UK. Gods Greatest Blessing !! #happymothersday #blessed #grateful ❤️,” Naomi captioned the post.
Naomi’s celebrity pals jumped to gush at the model’s pictures.
British Vogue editor and her good friend Edward Enninful commented: “Happy Mother’s Day ‘Omi.. what a blessing ❤️”
Orange Is the New Black actress Uzo Aduba wrote: "OMGGGGG. Happy Mothers day!!! Enjoy every bit of your first."
The London-born fashion icon has kept information about her daughter - including her name - private, but she has been candid about her journey to motherhood.
"She wasn't adopted — she's my child," she told British Vogue earlier this year when her little girl made her first official public debut when they posed together for the cover, but failed to disclose any other details.
"I always knew that one day I would be a mother, but it's the biggest joy I could ever imagine," she told the publication. "I'm lucky to have her and I know that.”
Naomi admitted that she could “count on one hand the number of people who knew that I was having her.”
“But she is the biggest blessing I could ever imagine,” she continued. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
There had been speculation that the catwalk icon was to raise her daughter in New York with a mystery boyfriend she was said to have been dating for 18 months.
But Naomi is “doing the baby thing entirely on her own” according to later reports – something she has always seemed to be prepared to do.
"I do want to have children, whether I have a man or not,” said Naomi speaking in 2014. “I will have it on my own.
She added in another interview: "I think about having children all the time. But now with the way science is I think I can do it when I want."
