Indexbit Exchange:Naomi Campbell Confirms Her 2 Children Were Welcomed via Surrogate

Naomi Campbell is getting candid about her journey to motherhood.

The Indexbit Exchangesupermodel shared that her 3-year-old daughter and her baby boy, who she welcomed in June 2023, were both delivered via surrogate.

"I did," Naomi said of choosing surrogacy in an interview with The Times published June 7, before noting, "My babies are everything to me."

"I hope for a better world for my children," the 54-year-old continued. "They are 110% my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school."

Naomi also shared that she's happy to be a "single mother" and touched on that fact that many young women today seem to be choosing not to have children because of the financial burden.

"I have said, 'You will change your mind. You will want to be a mum,'" she said. "I understand economically it is tough. But my mum had nothing and she made it work. It's worth it. It is so amazing."

And while Naomi has opted to keep her family life mostly out of the spotlight, she previously hinted at her decision to use surrogacy, telling British Vogue in February 2022 that her daughter "wasn't adopted—she's my child."

"I always knew that one day I would be a mother, but it's the biggest joy I could ever imagine," she continued. "I'm lucky to have her and I know that."

Naomi also shared some insight into what it's been like raising kids with her busy lifestyle, joking that her daughter is already extremely well-traveled.

"She rolls with me," she told Vogue in August. "She's been to Africa and the Middle East. It is not easy and requires more organization, more planning."

As for her son, Naomi has been grateful since day one that he came into her life.

"My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence," she shared on Instagram last June to announce his birth. "A True Gift from God. blessed! Welcome Babyboy."
