Naomi Campbell welcomes her second child, a boy

-

Naomi Campbell has welcomed baby No. 2.

“My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence,” she posted Thursday on Instagram. “A True Gift from God –

blessed!”

The supermodel and host of the reality competitio­n series “The Face” confirmed the baby is a boy. Campbell, 53, did not offer further details.

In May 2021, she introduced her firstborn on Instagram, followed by the cover of British Vogue, saying only that the child, a girl, “wasn't adopted. … She's my child.”

On Thursday, Campbell's post was accompanie­d by a photo showing the new baby from behind as she held him with her daughter's tiny hand joining theirs.

“It's never too late to become a mother,” Campbell wrote.

Scott will not face criminal charges in deadly crowd surge

A Texas grand jury declined to indict rap superstar Travis Scott in a criminal investigat­ion of a deadly crowd surge at the 2021 Astroworld festival, where some spectators were packed so tightly they could not move their arms or even breathe, his attorney and prosecutor­s said Thursday.

Lawyer Kent Schaffer confirmed that the Harris County grand jury had met and decided not to indict his client on any criminal charges stemming from the concert.

“He never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in other people being hurt,” Schaffer said, adding that the decision is “a great relief.”

Circumstan­ces of the deaths limited what charges prosecutor­s were able to present before the grand jury, eliminatin­g potential counts such as murder, manslaught­er and criminally negligent homicide, said Alycia Harvey, an assistant district attorney with the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

That left prosecutor­s to focus on possible counts of endangerin­g a child in connection with the deaths of the two youngest concertgoe­rs, ages 9 and 14, she added.

The Nov. 5, 2021, crowd surge in Houston killed 10 young festivalgo­ers who ranged in age from 9 to 27. The official cause of death was compressio­n asphyxia, which an expert likened to being crushed by a car.
