Naomi Campbell, 55, shares rare snaps of her daughter, four, and son, two, on a family day out as she gushes over 'my heartbeats, my blessings'
Naomi Campbell has shared a rare snap of her children as the family enjoyed a day out in the woods.
The supermodel, 55, revealed last year that she welcomed both of her children via surrogate, in 2021 and 2023.
In sweet snaps shared by Naomi on Instagram on Monday, Naomi was seen holding hands with her tots as they went tree hugging.
Other snaps showed Naomi strolling through the woods with her son as she wore a white smock dress.
'In the woods, hugging trees — surrounded by my heartbeats, my blessings, my children. ❤️❤️,' she wrote.
Naomi became a mother for the first time in 2021 aged 50 and posed with the newborn on the cover of Vogue.
The supermodel shocked the world when she announced the surprise birth her daughter followed by a son in 2023, both of whose names the catwalk queen has not made public.
Naomi previously admitted that her daughter wasn't adopted before clarifying that she hadn't been pregnant herself as she discussed how much her children mean to her.
Telling The Times: 'My babies are everything to me. It's made me fear for the future.'
Naomi went on to explain that she was never looking for a father for her kids and is happy being 'a single mother of a single mum'.
When asked whether she used a surrogate she replied: 'I did. I hope for a better world for my children.
'They are 110 per cent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school.'
Her daughter's arrival sparked widespread speculation that she used a surrogate, a popular approach among older celebrity mothers.
This was because she was not spotted with an obvious baby bump in the months leading up to the birth.
Naomi also spoke of her concern that younger generations are not interested in having children.
She also insisted parenthood is always 'worth it', no matter how difficult the circumstances.
She said: 'I have heard a lot of young girls saying that it is too expensive to have children and they may not want them, and I have said, "You will change your mind. You will want to be a mum"'.
'I understand economically it is tough. But my mum had nothing and she made it work. It's worth it. It is so amazing'.
She continued: 'We have to depend on the younger generation to change this world. I trust my children more than us to do the right thing.'
Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed that she won't let her daughter go into the world of work at 15 like she did, after starting her own career in her teenage years when she did her first cover shoot.
The beauty, who was whisked abroad to model in her first photoshoot for Elle in New Orleans aged 15, said she would be uncomfortable with her now three-year-old to start working so young.
The mother-of-two said: 'I'm not sure I would let her start working at 15. It's a ruthless world.'

Meghan McCain announced that she is expecting her third child - a baby boy. The 40-year-old shared the news during a conversation with JD Vance 's wife Usha on an upcoming episode of her Citizen McCain podcast obtained by People. 'I hope you don't mind - I wanted to let you in on something that is private that I haven't talked about publicly yet because one of the things I have so enjoyed about you and your husband is seeing how you incorporate your children in your life in so many ways,' she told the Second Lady. McCain made the announcement despite having only met Usha Vance minutes before the interview. She said she is currently in her second trimester - and that she was anxious about the third child. 'I'm very nervous about having a boy, and I'm very nervous about having three children. Very,' she said.

Johnny Depp claims he was betrayed by three of his closest friends who deserted him after he was accused of abuse by ex-wife Amber Heard
Johnny Depp has spoken out about how he was 'deserted' by three of his closest friends after he was accused of abuse by his ex-wife Amber Heard. Jonny married Amber in 2015 after the pair met on set of The Rum Diary (2011). However, she filed for divorce the following year, and it was finalised in 2017. The Hollywood star, 62, always strenuously denied the claims made by Amber, 39, during the couple's divorce proceedings in 2016. The couple's alleged violent relationship sent shockwaves throughout the industry and both parties were dropped from work projects at the time. Johnny was recast in the Fantastic Beasts series by Mads Mikkelsen, while Amber claimed she lost out on opportunities due to the online backlash. As well as being axed from jobs, Johnny has now claimed he was also let down by some of the people in his inner circle who attended his children's birthday parties. Speaking to the Sunday Times, Johnny criticised the actions of three of his close friends and claimed he had been a 'crash test dummy for the #MeToo movement'. He said: 'I'll tell you what hurts. There are people, and I'm thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids' parties, throwing them in the air.' 'And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice.' Johnny's agent of 30 years who was sacked in 2016, Tracey Jacobs, spoke out against him during the highly publicised defamation trial. Tracey claimed that studios were 'reluctant' to hire Johnny because of his reputation for being late to work. He said of Tracey: 'My loyalty is the last thing anybody could question. I was with one agent for 30 years, but she spoke in court about how difficult I was.' During the Depp v. Heard trial that came to an end in June 2022, Johnny received a rally of support from fans at the Fairfax County courtroom in Virginia. Johnny and Amber's publicised legal issues began when he filed a libel lawsuit against The Sun's publisher and it's executive editor Dan Wootton over a 2018 article which included claims that he was a 'wife beater.' But in 2020, the High Court of Justice ruled in favour of The Sun's publisher and Wootton, but Johnny later sued Amber in 2019 for defamation over a 2018 op-ed article she wrote for The Washington Post. She countersued her ex-husband in 2020 and the trial officially began in April 2022. Two months later, the jury's verdict was in favour of Johnny. At the time, the star had offered his reaction to the ruling and expressed that the 'jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled.' He star also expressed, 'Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that.' Amber has since moved and settled in Spain - where she raises her three children, a daughter born in 2021 via surrogacy and she announced in May that she had also welcomed twins. Johnny has also made his return to the big screen following the trial, such as Jeanne du Barry (2023). Last year in October, Johnny insisted that he 'holds no ill will towards anyone' following the legal drama and bitter divorce from Heard. 'Honestly, I can sit here this very second and think about all the hit pieces, and how everybody was against me, and yeah yeah yeah he is off the map … endless stuff,' he told The Hollywood Reporter. 'I can remember it all. Went through it all. Some of it was not the most beautiful time, some of it was hilarious. Some of it was mad.' The actor added, 'The thing is, it simply just was, and it simply just is. So, for me, it happened. I learned, man. 'Everything that we experience, whether you're given a snow cone or walking your dog, you learn something somewhere along the way.' Johnny then explained, 'So I don't have any ill feelings toward anyone. I don't have this great reserve of hatred, because hatred requires caring. Why carry that baggage?' Johnny is preparing to hit the big screen once again for the upcoming thriller Day Drinker. The movie is being directed by Marc Webb and also stars Penelope Cruz, Madelyn Cline, Manu Rios and Javier Botet. The premise is: 'An enigmatic stranger forms an unlikely bond with a grieving bartender who lost her lover, their lives intertwining in unexpected ways,' per IMDB. A first look photo was recently released which shows an unrecognizable Depp stepping into the shoes of his character - which includes graying hair and a beard. When questioned by The Sunday Times if he has any regrets, the actor admitted, 'I have no regrets about anything - because, truly, what can we do about last week's dinner? Not a f***ing thing.'
