Naomi's famous friends were quick to send congratulatory messages, with designer Marc Jacobs hinting that he was aware of her impending arrival.
He wrote: "Oh my God!!!!! Today is the day?? How absolutely incredible. How lucky she is and how lucky you are! What a wonderful Mother you will be. Blessings all around."
British Vogue's editor-in-chief Edward Enninful also alluded to the fact that he was aware, commenting: "Seeing the two of you together made my year. You will bring each other so much joy. @naomi."

Naomi has not divulged how she welcomed her daughter, but she may have used a surrogate after previously crediting science with giving her an opportunity to start a family "whenever she wants".
Naomi previously spoke of her desire to have children, telling Vogue Arabia in 2018: “I’d love to have kids. I don’t discount anything in life. I love kids and always will. When I’m around children, I become a child myself. That’s the little girl I don’t ever want to lose.”
Last year, Naomi dropped a huge hint about motherhood, telling Paris Match when quizzed on whether she missed being a mother: "No. By the way, who said I would not be a mother someday?”
