Naomi Campbell insists Saudi film producer she has been linked to is more like ‘family' than a BF
wowed in a zebra print ensemble as she enjoyed a ride on a private boat with Mohammed Al Turki on Thursday - after finally explaining their relationship amid years of romance speculation.
The supermodel, 55, nailed summer chic in the black and white blouse and trousers, which she teamed with a coordinating sports cap, white miniature purse, and casual sandals.
Naomi looked happy and relaxed as she sipped on water while chatting to the film producer amid his birthday celebrations.
Meanwhile, Mohammed, who was in town with the model amid the launch party for a Ritz-Carlton Superyacht, kept things casual in a black T-shirt and colorful shorts.
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, Naomi made steps to clarify their relationship on Thursday as she shared a gushing 40th birthday tribute to the Saudi Arabian producer on Instagram.
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 the Saudi Arabian film producer 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 vacation together, with the pair soaking up the sun in Ibiza last year.
In April, they enjoyed a break to the Maldives alongside Naomi's children and pal Natasha Poly.
