(CNN) — Naomi Campbell announced the birth of her second child on Thursday, almost two years after welcoming her first daughter.
“My dear little one, you should know that you are appreciated beyond measure and you are surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A true gift from God,” the 53-year-old supermodel wrote in an Instagram post, showing a picture of her and her daughter’s hands holding the new baby’s. “Welcome Babyboy,” she added.
CNN has reached out to Campbell’s publicist for comment.
Since her birth in May 2021, Campbell has kept most details of her daughter’s life private, including her name, and has only sparingly shared photos of her publicly.
Last year, however, the couple posed together for the March 2022 cover of British Vogue, photographed by Campbell’s longtime friend and collaborator Steven Meisel. In the cover image, Campbell holds her daughter protectively against her chest, wearing a low-key black outfit against a neutral background.
In the accompanying interview, she said she had told very few people that she was going to be a mother, a decision she appears to have made again with regard to her second child.
“I can count on one hand the number of people who knew I was going to have it,” he said. “But she is the biggest blessing she could ever imagine. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” When asked if she would consider growing her family even more, she replied, “Why not?”
Campbell most recently made red carpet appearances at the Met Gala and the Cannes Film Festival in May, and sat front row at Pharrell Williams’ debut menswear collection for Louis Vuitton earlier this month.
Campbell also told British Vogue at the time that she “always knew one day” she would have a child, and in her Instagram post on Thursday she expressed similar sentiments.
“It’s never too late to be a mother,” she wrote.
