Supermodel Naomi Campbell has recently given birth to a baby boy at the age of 53, defying the notion that it’s ever too late to become a mother. This is her first child, as she previously announced the birth of her daughter. Naomi’s model friends, including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Helena Christensen, sent their congratulations. While Naomi did not show a baby bump in recent months, she has not disclosed how her son was conceived or delivered.
Speculation surrounding Naomi’s pregnancy suggests the possibility of her using a surrogate, a common choice among older celebrity mothers. Another possibility is that she carried the baby herself while concealing a small baby bump. If she did carry the baby, it is likely that she sought fertility treatments, such as using previously frozen eggs for in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Despite the slim chances of natural conception at the age of 50 and above, it is still possible for a woman to become pregnant using her own eggs through IVF. However, most women in this situation are advised to use donated eggs for assisted conception treatment.
The decline in egg quality and quantity accelerates rapidly after the age of 30, making it increasingly challenging for women to conceive naturally. By their 40s, the chances of fertilization per cycle drop significantly. Additionally, the onset of menopause, which typically occurs around the age of 51 in the UK, further reduces the likelihood of natural conception for women in their 50s.
Despite the criticism that celebrity pregnancies give false hope to “ordinary” women regarding the success of IVF treatment for older mothers, the use of donor eggs from younger women significantly increases the chances of successful IVF insemination. Freezing one’s own eggs at a younger age also raises the likelihood of successful IVF in the future.
The laws regarding surrogacy vary from country to country. In the US, different states have different laws, with some being more accepting of surrogacy agreements than others. In the UK, surrogates are legally recognized as the mothers of the children they carry, unless they sign a parental order transferring their rights to the intended parents upon birth. Paying a surrogate is illegal in the UK, with the exception of covering medical expenses. Freezing eggs can cost between £4,000 and £7,000 in the UK.
Naomi’s friends from the fashion industry, including Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer, sent their congratulations upon hearing the news. While the details surrounding the birth remain private, it is known that the baby was born on a Saturday. Naomi is expected to raise her son on her own, along with her two-year-old daughter. She expressed her joy and pride in becoming a mother again through a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a photo of herself cradling her newborn son.
