Naomi Campbellfocused on bettering herself before welcoming her two little ones.

“Naomi came to motherhood later in life because she could never really imagine her life as a mom,” a source tells PEOPLE. “But over the last years, she really worked on herself. She got sober and really transformed.”

Adds the insider, “She now has more than enough love to give two children. If you think about it, she’s done everything she’s ever wanted to do, on her own terms. That includes motherhood.”

Campbell, who was 50 when shewelcomed her daughter, shared last year that she encourages her older friends not to “hesitate” to have children.

“I always knew that one dayI would be a mother, but it’s the biggest joy I could ever imagine. I’m lucky to have her and I know that,” she told BritishVogueas she appeared on March 2022 cover alongside her then 9-month-old daughter.

Campbell explained that she has a new “completely selfless” attitude with motherhood and she has no issue with the 50-year age gap between her and her daughter, even admitting that she’s encouraging her older friends to have babies as well.

“I’m telling them all, do it! Don’t hesitate!” she added.
