Quizzed whether she wants to have a baby herself rather than adopt, she replied, 'Maybe. Maybe... Maybe.’
Insisting she doesn't want to be a single mother, however, she said: ‘I do want a father figure. I think it’s important.’
Naomi opened up about her road to recovery with Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
She
explained: ‘People tried to shame me about the fact that I went to get
help. You should never feel shame because recovery is a positive thing.
'But when I first went, people were not open about this stuff. Everything like this should be talked about openly.
'Mental
health issues, postpartum depression — there are so many different
things. Come together and help each other, that’s important.’
Naomi
also discussed her love for Nelson Mandela - her friend, mentor and
adopted grandfather - revealing that the former President of South
Africa sparked her passion for charity.
'He was the one that made me consciously aware, because I wasn’t', she said.
'I
was aware to the extent that my mother used to take care of two kids in
Ethiopia when I was growing up. But other than that I wasn’t really. He
opened my eyes. I learnt a lot from him.’
Naomi is hosting her Fashion For Relief charity event in Cannes on 21 May, proceeds will be in aid of Save The Children.
