Daily Mail​2 days ago
Naomi Campbell has finally explained her relationship with Mohammed Al Turki - after years of romance speculation.
Over the years, fans have frequently called for the pair to get together, commenting on their many Instagram posts of each other, and predicting they would be 'the next IT couple'.
However, the supermodel, 55, made steps to clarify their relationship as she took to Instagram on Thursday to share a gushing birthday tribute to the Saudi Arabian film producer as he turned 40.
Alongside two snaps of the pair, including a photo of a bikini-clad Naomi embracing Mohammed, the beauty referred to her pal as her 'chosen family', before noting how much she cherishes their 'friendship and family-ship'.
She penned: 'Happy birthday 40th birthday and turn around the sun to my chosen family @moalturki My Mo.
'I'm so proud of all that you've done, all that you're doing, and all that's ahead for you. I'm beyond excited for your next chapter and everything your future holds. Most of all, I'm deeply grateful to have you in my life.
'I wish you joy, health, love, and every blessing this year and beyond. I know this next season is going to be filled with incredible things, and I can't wait for the world to see it all unfold.
'We love you so much, Uncle Mo. I truly cherish our friendship—and our family-ship.'
The pair have been friends for several years, after Mohammed first shared a snap with the superstar on his Instagram back in 2021.
They have been fixtures at each other's sides at many events since, including last year's BAFTA's, Cannes film festival, Paris Fashion Week in 2022 and 2023 and several exclusive parties, like Edward Enninful 's birthday bash.
Mohammed and Naomi have even jetted off on holiday together, with the pair soaking up the sun in Ibiza last year, while in April, they enjoyed a break to the Maldives alongside Naomi's children and pal Natasha Poly.
Naomi and Mohammed have been seen to be firm friends for several years and made their first public appearance together in in December 2021 at the Red Sea film festival, linking arms as they arrived together.
At a special birthday event held for Naomi in France in 2023, Mohammed was seen sat right by the birthday girl for the evening.
The Sun reported that the pair have become even closer around the time as Naomi had spent time with Mohammed in the Middle East, claiming they appear to have 'a spark'.

A source told the publication: 'Naomi is very selective with who she spends time with and she has become close to Mohammed.
'They bonded over their love of fashion and art and have a lot of mutual friends. Naomi has been in Dubai with him and she seems to be the happiest she has ever been.
'They spend a lot of time together and there appears to be a spark between them, even if it is just a friendship at this point.'
The speculation was further fuelled after Naomi set tongues wagging over her relationship status as she sported a giant diamond on her ring finger for the third time.
She was seen sporting the sparkling new accessory at former British Vogue editor Edward's 52nd birthday at The Dorchester Hotel's restaurant China Tang in London last year.
However, months later, a friend of Naomi denied any romance, telling the Mail: 'It isn't a romance - all her friends know that he is actually in love with another model and in a settled relationship with them. Naomi is single and focuses on her children and her sobriety.'
The British star was previously engaged to U2 bassist Adam Clayton in 1993, and was then also engaged to Italian businessman Flavio Briatore before they split in 2002.
Naomi was last in a relationship with rapper Skepta in 2018 but enjoyed a fling with One Direction's Liam Payne the following year.
She has also enjoyed high-profile relationships with the likes of Diddy, Robert De Niro, Gerard Butler, Terrence Howard, Mike Tyson and Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin over the years.
Although she is notoriously private about her love life, the star has previously stated she is 'on good terms' with her exes and is not known to be dating anyone at present.
In a rare interview about her love life in 2021, Naomi said: 'The sacrifice is really finding that soulmate who will understand you.

The moment I knew: he pulled me close for my last-ever first kiss

Moe and I met at an obstacle course race in south-western Sydney in 2015 when I was 21. He's a naturally charismatic guy and, while I wasn't immune to his charms, I didn't think of him again until nearly a year later when I saw him on a dating app. I swiped to say hello and he invited me to go rock climbing. I chickened out at the last minute but a few months later Moe joined the same gym as me. We became fast friends, regularly training and trail running together. I was at university at the time, living with my parents and dating someone else. I loved spending time with Moe but didn't register an inkling of romance between us. We slipped easily into a close friendship and were soon having dinner together a few nights a week. As my trust in our friendship deepened, I opened up to Moe about the problems in my relationship. At a dimly lit Indian restaurant in Liverpool on a cool autumn night I poured my heart out. My unhappiness felt like a shameful secret I'd been keeping from everyone, even myself, but I felt no judgment from Moe. I have always had a tendency to get stuck in tricky feelings, becoming frozen by all the ways I could handle a situation. I hate the idea of getting things wrong. That evening Moe was so sage and understanding, all my misguided shame melted away. I could suddenly see a way forward. His ability to help me untangle myself is still one of the things I appreciate most about him. That relationship ended not long afterwards and, while I was adamant Moe and I were strictly platonic, we were training and eating dinner together every day and bought puppies from the same litter. There were raised eyebrows among our friends and family, who assumed we were an item. I was in full-blown denial. I didn't know what anyone was talking about – we were just mates! In early October 2017 we wrapped up training as usual but, when Moe asked me to join him for dinner, his tone was different. The intensity of his voice and the look in his eyes ignited such nervousness in me that I turned his request down. But something had clicked, I knew I was on the precipice of a life-altering moment. I had to sleep on it. The next night, in our sweaty gym clothes, we headed to a local Vietnamese spot. I was twitching with nerves and, as the meal ended, the whole scene started to feel like a romance novel. Out the front I could hardly look Moe in the eye and, as I made a move for my car, he reached out and pulled me close. When he looked at me I knew I was about to have the last first kiss of my life. It was incredible. In a way nothing had changed but at the same time everything had. It was humbling to realise that everything we were was already there, I had just been oblivious to what it could become. By Halloween I knew I'd marry him and our son was born a year later. As I battled through pre- and postnatal depression my default was to disappear into myself. That old shame came knocking again. But as usual Moe was the calming, reassuring presence I needed. When I revealed how unwell I truly was, it was his quiet, steady support that got us all through. We were married in 2020, in an intimate ceremony at Uluru, and two years later made a tree change to Young, Australia's cherry capital, with our son and our border collies, Banjo and Nina. Even now, I still blush thinking about our first kiss. Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share?

Speaking previously about supermodel Kate, 51, Lottie said: 'I felt a lot of pressure to be like her and look like her. And you know, I dabbled in that party lifestyle. 'I always felt compared to her at the beginning of my career, and people expected me to be like a carbon copy.' Earlier this year, after falling out with her family over it. She said: 'I lost a lot of friends from the modelling industry. 'My mum didn't speak to me for weeks and my family was a little bit in turmoil over it.'
