Sharing her excitement with her followers and fans, Campbell wrote in the caption: “A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother, 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.” She tagged her mother, Valerie Morris-Campbell, in the post as well, who also shared the picture to her own Instagram page.
Morris-Campbell shared that she is “thrilled” to be a grandmother, writing in her own caption: “Congratulations to my daughter Naomi on the birth of her daughter, I’m beyond thrilled as I’ve waited a longtime to be grandmother. ❤️? @Naomi.”

Many of Campbell’s celebrity friends and fans flooded the comments with congratulations and praise. Actress and mother herself Gabrielle Union wrote, “CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As theGrio previously reported, Campbell recently sat down with Jacobs for a feature in Interview. Addressing the heyday of her legendary modeling career, Campbell revealed in the magazine that her biggest mistake was not “speaking out more” about racism she faced in the early days of her career. “I should have spoken out more,” she said, “but back then if you spoke out, people wouldn’t work with you.”
