The almost 51-year-old (her birthday is May 22) had been asked several times over the years if she was considering motherhood. As People notes, in May 2017 Campbell told Evening Standard that she definitely wanted to have kids, hinting that she would be open to surrogacy and other options. "I think about having children all the time," she said to the outlet. "But now with the way science is I think I can do it when I want."
