Naomi Campbell insisted she has been ‘misunderstood’ by the public as she posed for a striking cover shoot with Dazed magazine. 

The model, 46, is as well known for her diva atтιтude as she is for striking good looks, but claimed that as a Gemini star sign, there are ‘two sides’ to her, mainly through exhibiting introverted and extroverted behaviour.   

She mused: ‘That’s where Geminis are misunderstood, but we are the ultimate communicators and connectors…

‘I can’t please everybody. All that I do is transparent, and I am very loyal to the people I love. I care about the people I love. I value my long relationships. 

‘In friendships, I don’t have time for the word “frivolous”. I don’t ᴀssociate with that word, it’s not who I am. When I care, I care… but don’t mistake my kindness for weakness.’

Talk also turned to the lessons that she was hoping to impart on her children. 

The supermodel shocked the world when she announced the surprise birth of her daughter in 2021, followed by a son in 2023, both of whose names the catwalk queen has not made public. 

Discussing her parenting approach, she mused: ‘I want to pᴀss on the inner strength, the discipline. Pᴀss on the things that were shared with me from my grandmother, my aunts and my mother. The most important thing for me is for my kids to be happy.’

She added that she felt ‘blessed’ to be able to travel and see the world with her children like she had down with her own mother.

Naomi confirmed last year that she welcomed both her children via surrogate after becoming a mother for the first time in 2021 aged 50 and posed with the newborn on the cover of Vogue.

She previously admitted that her daughter wasn’t adopted before clarifying that she hadn’t been pregnant herself as she discussed how much her children mean to her.

Telling The Times: ‘My babies are everything to me. It’s made me fear for the future.’

Naomi went on to explain that she was never looking for a father for her kids and is happy being ‘a single mother of a single mum’.

When asked whether she used a surrogate she replied: ‘I did. I hope for a better world for my children. They are 110 per cent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school.’

Her daughter’s arrival sparked widespread speculation that she used a surrogate, a popular approach among older celebrity mothers, because she was not spotted with an obvious baby bump in the months leading up to the birth.

Naomi also spoke of her concern that younger generations are not interested in having children and she insisted parenthood is always ‘worth it’, no matter how difficult the circumstances.

She said: ‘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”‘.

‘I understand economically it is tough. But my mum had nothing and she made it work. It’s worth it. It is so amazing’.

In the chat, she mused: ‘Geminis are misunderstood, but we are the ultimate communicators and connectors… I can’t please everybody. All that I do is transparent’

Naomi added: ‘In friendships, I don’t have time for the word “frivolous”. I don’t ᴀssociate with that word, it’s not who I am. When I care, I care… but don’t mistake my kindness for weakness’

She continued: ‘We have to depend on the younger generation to change this world. I trust my children more than us to do the right thing.’

Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed that she won’t let her daughter go into the world of work at 15 like she did, after starting her own career in her teenage years when she did her first cover shoot.

The beauty, who was whisked abroad to model in her first pH๏τoshoot for Elle in New Orleans aged 15, said she would be uncomfortable with her now three-year-old to start working so young.

The mother-of-two said: ‘I’m not sure I would let her start working at 15. It’s a ruthless world.’
