Supermodel Naomi Campbell has become a mother for the second time. The 53-year-old shared a picture of the baby boy on Instagram.

The picture showed her cradling the baby while, it is assumed, her young daughter holds his hand. Naomi is seen holding the little boy but neither her nor her son's face can be seen.

In a message alongside the post, she said: “My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A True Gift from God, blessed! Welcome Babyboy. #mumoftwo.”
