Supermodel Naomi Campbell has become the mother of a baby girl. She announced the news on Instagram as she shared a picture of her hand holding the baby's feet.

She posted on the social media website: "A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother, so honoured to have this gentle soul in my life." Her mother, Valerie Morris Campbell, also posted on Instagram: "I'm beyond thrilled as I've waited a long time to be a grandmother."

Known for her charity work, and founder of ‘Fashion For Relief’, a charity merging fashion and philanthropy, the ‘Queen of the Catwalk,’ 50, who was discovered as a schoolgirl before going on to become the first Black British model to appear on the cover of British Vogue.

Naomi previously spoke of her desire to have children, when, in 2008, she told Vogue Arabia: “I’d love to have kids. I don’t discount anything in life. I love kids and always will.”

She has yet to reveal her baby girl’s name and has not shared a photo of her face.
