Naomi Campbell Honors Late Pope Francis in Emotional Rome Visit
NAOMI CAMPBELL'S TOUCHING TRIBUTE TO POPE FRANCIS: MODEL, 55, PAYS RESPECTS AT THE LATE POPE'S TOMB IN ROME
In a heartwarming display of reverence and gratitude, supermodel Naomi Campbell, 55, visited the tomb of Pope Francis in Rome over the weekend. The catwalk queen, who was seen posing for snaps with Italian police officers, couldn't resist paying her respects to the late Pontiff as she departed the Eternal City.
As Campbell shared a poignant photo on her Instagram page, she wrote: "Couldn't be in Rome without paying my respects to Pope Francis. A moment of deep gratitude before departing. You are so missed. Heartfelt, reverent, and full of longing." The star's emotional tribute is a testament to the profound impact Pope Francis had on her life.
But Campbell's trip to Rome wasn't just about paying her respects to the late Pope. The model, who recently celebrated Mother's Day with her two tiny tots, took some time off to connect with nature and spend quality time with her mini-me's. In a series of adorable snaps shared on Instagram, Campbell was seen holding hands with her little ones as they explored the woods, tree-hugging and smock-dressed.
In a sweet post, she gushed: "In the woods, hugging trees — surrounded by my heartbeats, my blessings, my children." The mother-of-two's love for her tiny tots is palpable, and it's clear that they're her top priority.
But Campbell's journey to motherhood wasn't without its surprises. Last year, she revealed that she had welcomed both of her children via surrogacy in 2021 and 2023. In an exclusive interview with The Times, the supermodel opened up about her decision to use a surrogate, revealing: "I did. I hope for a better world for my children."
When asked if she was looking for a father figure for her kids, Campbell quipped: "I have never looked for that. I am a single mother of a single mum." Her daughter's arrival sparked widespread speculation about whether she used a surrogate, and while the star didn't confirm or deny it, her comments suggest that she did indeed use surrogacy to become a mom.
Campbell also spoke candidly about her concerns for the younger generation, revealing: "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'." She believes that parenthood is always worth it, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
The supermodel also revealed her plans for her daughter's future, stating: "I'm not sure I would let her start working at 15. It's a ruthless world." Campbell's own career in modeling began when she was just 15 years old, but she acknowledges that times have changed and that today's children face different challenges.
As Campbell continues to navigate motherhood and her glamorous career, it's clear that family is at the top of her priorities. Her touching tribute to Pope Francis and her sweet snaps with her mini-me's are a testament to the love and devotion she has for her little ones.
