Supermodel Naomi Campbell wants a baby and admits that she doesn’t need anyone to help her bring up a family.
The 43-year-old split from her boyfriend Vladimir Doronin last year, but she says that she doesn’t need a partner to have children. Talking to Diane von Furstenberg on New York’s SiriusXM Radio Town Hall show, The Face judge said: “I’m at an age where I’ve decided I do want to have a baby.”
She added: ''Yes or no — I’ve always spoken about children so many times in my interviews over the years. I do want to have a baby. And whether I’m with a man or not, I will have it on my own.”
However, the mentor admits that she is already like a mother to her contestants. She said: “I love mentoring. You’re with them day in and day out for 10 weeks, and suddenly when it’s finished, you get down. You miss them. I miss them. I get depressed when I’m not with my girls any more.”
The British model is also a long time campaigner for ethnic diversity in the modelling industry. However, while she admits that they are making progress, she worries the use of non-white models is a “trend”.
She said: ''We are definitely making progress on the ad campaigns. We do not want it to be a trend, we want it to be consistent... I also don't want to see them put us in a line in the show, like we're an act together, and it's done... That's also not very creative.''
