Campbell has previously been open about her desire to become a parent, including in 2018 whenshe toldVogueArabiaabout how kids bring out a bubbly side of herself. “I’d love to have kids. I don’t discount anything in life. I love kids and always will,” she told the magazine at the time. “When I’m around children, I become a child myself. That’s the little girl I don’t ever want to lose.”
Additionally, theNo Filter with Naomipodcast host said prior to that that she has pondered becoming a mother but was in no rush to make it happen at a specific time. “I think about having children all the time,” she toldEvening Standardmagazine in May 2017. “But now with the way science is I think I can do it when I want.”
Campbell then toldWSJ. Magazinein October 2019, as far as having kids went at that time, “Not yet — I’ll see what the universe brings me.”
