Naomi Campbell opens up about 'dream child' for the first time
Naomi Campbell has given fans a rare insight into her life as a mum, saying she has a “dream child”.
The catwalk queen, 51, announced earlier this year that she had welcomed a daughter but has not shared many details.
She has now opened up about her baby, telling BBC HARDtalk: “I'm really lucky, I think I have a dream child."
“She is wonderful, she’s very independent already," she went on. "Very smart, alert, sleeps 12 hours. Good girl.”

Campbell had previously said she had long considered motherhood and planned to do it when she was ready.
Speaking to the Sunday Times in 2016, she said: “Well, I’m not saying I won’t have children. I could have children. I just don’t know which way I’ll have children. But I think I’ll have children, everyone thinks I’ll be a good mother.
“I’ve always considered it. I’ll just do it when I’m ready. I’m not rushing to anyone’s drumbeat, I’m going to my own.”
