In fact, prior to having her first child, Naomi says that she could count on one hand the number of people who knew that she was expecting her.

The youngster attended the prestigious Barbara Speake Stage School in Acton, west London, until she was 12, where she had elocution lessons in addition to dance and drama.

Her adoring Jamaican grandmother, the family’s matriarch, taught Naomi how to cook and clean and have routine, something she’s keen to instill in her own children.
Speaking to Vogue, she said: “I would come home from school and have to wash my dancewear, clean my shoes.
“I think discipline is important. I had that and I will be the same.” Congratulations to Naomi!
