In the dazzling shoot, Naomi admitted how raising her two 'beautiful' children have 'taught her a lot in life'.

She told the magazine: 'It’s [motherhood] the biggest joy. The biggest blessing is to have these two innocent, beautiful souls and for me to be able to be their mother. I learn a lot each day. They’re good kids.'

Sharing an insight into her work/ family life and how she keeps a healthy balance, Naomi revealed she often takes her children with her to work so they can travel the world with her.

She added: 'I definitely don’t take them from New York to London for a two-day shoot. 

'That’s too much, but my kids love to travel. They must have known!'

Speaking to The Times previously, Naomi clarified that she hadn't been pregnant herself as she discussed how much her children mean to her.

Naomi proudly gushed: 'My babies are everything to me. It's made me fear for the future'.

She went on to explain that she was never looking for a father for her kids and happy being 'a single mother of a single mum'.

And when asked whether she used a surrogate, she replied: 'I did. I hope for a better world for my children. They are 110 per cent my priority. I have to be there for them on their first day at school.' 

Naomi looked sensational on the front cover of the magazine, slipping into chic balloon trousers and a cream halterneck top.

Elsewhere in the interview, Naomi said she always hated being 'the first' within modelling as it came with an added pressure of being one of the first major black model.

She said: 'People think that you want to be the only one, but it’s not necessarily so.

'I didn’t like being the first in a lot of things. … That’s why I wanted to celebrate us in the exhibition—Naomi Sims, Beverly Johnson, Iman, Bethann Hardison, Veronica Webb, Karen Alexander—because they were also before me.'
