She did not provide the infant’s name or age. The surprising news did not stop fans from sharing their joy with the new mother.

This is Campbell’s first child, but she has shared hope of becoming a mother. In 2018, she spoke to Vogue Arabia about wanting children in the future. “I’d love to have kids,” she said. “I don’t discount anything in life. I love kids and always will. When I’m around children, I become a child myself. That’s the little girl I don’t ever want to lose.”

Campbell was discovered at the age of 15 in the 1980s. She has since become a fashion icon and one of the most recognizable faces within the industry.
