Naomi Campbell Under Fire For Saying Her Kids Don't Need A Father: 'My Mom Had Nothing And She Made It Work'
Naomi Campbell is not looking to add a father to her children's lives.
The supermodel has made headlines with her stance on parenting, and according to 'Atlanta Black Star,' not everyone is thrilled by the fashion guru's determination to intentionally remain a single mother.
During an interview with 'The Times UK,' Campbell, 54, attested that her two children do not need a father. Campbell admitted that she herself was raised by a "single mother" who "had nothing," but she turned out fine.
The supermodel's assertion that her children don't need a father has sparked significant debate. "A lot of women who harbor such disdain and disregard for fathers or men in general are contributing to the degeneracy within our society," one social media user wrote.

Campbell's supporters argue that a single parent can provide a nurturing and supportive environment for a child. "I truly believe a man or woman can raise a child perfectly fine without a partner," one supporter commented. "It's plenty of successful people in this world that were raised by only their father, mother, uncle, aunt, or grandparents, and they turned out just fine."
Campbell's daughter was born in May 2021, and her son followed in June 2023. She confirmed that both of her children were delivered via surrogates.
"My babies are everything to me. It's made me fear for the future. I hope for a better world for my children," the London native told 'The Sunday Times.' "They are 110 percent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school."
She also spoke about young women who don't want children because of the economic climate.
"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 mom,' " she said. "I understand economically it is tough. But my mom had nothing and she made it work. It's worth it. It is so amazing."
