US broadcaster Hoda Kotb, who became a mum at the age of 52 when she adopted daughter Haley Joy in 2017, teared up on Tuesday’s Today show while speaking about Campbell’s new baby and reflecting on the first time she was able to tell a stranger that she was a mother.

“Literally I dead-stopped when that woman asked me, ‘Do you have kids?’ and I looked at her and I go, ‘I do.’ … It was so moving,” Kotb, now 56, said.

Campbell has been open in the past about wanting to welcome a baby into her life.

“I think about having children all the time,” she told Evening Standard magazine in May 2017.

“But now with the way science is, I think I can do it when I want.”
