“A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” Campbell wrote in the caption. “So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love.”
The touching message was met with a wave of well-wishes. The slew of names in her Instagram comment section is a testament to how iconic she is.
“Many, many, many congratulations to you and to your family— the village that will now rally around you and support you in cultivating that little angel!!!! What an incredible blessing!!!” wrote Queen and Slim star Jodie Smith.
“Naomi, today I go from being sista to auntie!! I am so so so happy for you, and I can’t WAIT to meet her!! Lots and lots of love,” Donatella Versace commented.
“Oh my God!!!!! Today is the day?? How absolutely incredible. How lucky she is and how lucky you are! What a wonderful Mother you will be. Blessings all around,” wrote Marc Jacobs.
“Congratulations, that is beautiful! You are going to be the best mommy,” actress Holly Robinson Peete said.
Campbell hasn’t shared her daughter’s name, and it is unclear if she gave birth or used a surrogate. She expressed a desire for motherhood and a willingness to use technology in 2017.
“I think about having children all the time,”’ she told The Evening Standard. ‘But now, with the way science is, I think I can do it when I want.”
Congrats to the new mommy on her new daughter!
