Naomi Campbell has revealed she’s keen to have a baby – whether she has a man or not.
The 43-year-old supermodel – who split from long-term boyfriend Vladimir Doronin last year – admitted that she would love to have a family, but insisted that she doesn’t need a partner to raise a child.
Speaking to Diane von Furstenberg during a SiriusXM Radio Town Hall show in New York on Tuesday, Naomi said: ‘I’m at an age where I’ve decided I do want to have a baby. 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.’

Maternal instinct: Naomi made the admission during a SiriusXM Radio Town Hall show in New York on Tuesday.
Naomi also admitted that mentoring wannabe models on her hit show The Face was also partly responsible for reigniting her maternal instinct.
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.’
What a transformation! Naomi was spotted out in the city with long straight hair and then, hours later, she was sporting a full afro… all the while donning a long-haired gilet.
Back in 2008, Naomi admitted that she had been infertile until she had a corrective operation that year to remove a cyst.
She said at the time: ‘I was not able to have children up until March. Now it’s in God’s hands. I would love to have a family.’
Meanwhile, Naomi, who has long been a campaigner for ethnic diversity in the modelling industry, said that while she believes there has been ‘progress’, she worries the use of non-white models could just be a ‘trend’.
