Booze-free life is better for model mum Naomi
Campbell’s ‘children come first’
NAOMI Campbell has said she does “not miss alcohol” and feels better without drink in her life.
The British supermodel entered rehab in 1999 after a battle with drugs and booze and has attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
She told the latest issue of Elle UK: “That’s a big thing for me. As you know, I’m in recovery and I take that very seriously.
“And no, I don’t miss alcohol in my life. I feel better without it.
“Anywhere that’s a place of holiness or spirituality, I will pray. It doesn’t matter if it’s on a plane, I will pray wherever and whenever I feel.”
Campbell, 53, welcomed her second child in May last year, a baby boy. She announced in May 2021 that she had become a mother to a baby girl shortly before her 51st birthday.
The model said as “things change when you become a mother” you turn down other commitments.
Campbell added: “Since my daughter started school, there have been things I’ve been offered that I’d love to do and would if I could.
“But I have to be there on the first day my daughter is starting school. That is very important. I have to be there to pick her up. My children come first.”
She also said she wants them to see the world and “understand different cultures like my mum did with me”.
Campbell added the fashion industry needs emerging talent.
She said: “You will always have your top luxury brands; we know that. But you still need that new wave coming in.”
This year, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London will have an exhibition charting Campbell’s career.
