She continued: ‘Every single day my daughter and son surprise me, teach me something new about myself.
‘I didn’t realize I could be even more protective than I already was – and trust me, I was already pretty protective!
‘But it’s also shown me this softer strength – the kind that comes from taking care of these two little beings who depend on you completely. They’ve changed everything about how I see the world.’
The supermodel shocked the world when she announced the surprise birth her daughter in 2021 and posed with the newborn on the cover of Vogue.
Her daughter was followed by a son in 2023, both of whose names the catwalk queen has not made public.

When asked whether she used a surrogate she replied: ‘I did. I hope for a better world for my children.
‘They are 110 per cent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school.’
Her daughter’s arrival sparked widespread speculation that she used a surrogate, a popular approach among older celebrity mothers.
This was because she was not spotted with an obvious baby bump in the months leading up to the birth.
Naomi also spoke of her concern that younger generations are not interested in having children.
She also insisted parenthood is always ‘worth it’, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
She said: ‘I have heard a lot of young girls saying that it is too expensive to have children and they may not want them, and I have said, “You will change your mind. You will want to be a mum”‘.
‘I understand economically it is tough. But my mum had nothing and she made it work. It’s worth it. It is so amazing’.
