NAOMI CAMPBELL got gossips twitching at the Baftas this month after arriving on the red carpet with a handsome male companion.
The supermodel’s date was Saudi-born film producer Mohammed Al Turki, with onlookers telling me the pair barely left each other’s sides at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
But I can reveal Mohammed has been a firm fixture in Naomi’s life for the past three years, with the pair first appearing together at a public event in December 2021 at the Red Sea film festival.
Since then Naomi and Mohammed have spent a lot of time together. Last year they went to a number of fashion week events as a duo, with Mohammed documenting their dates on Instagram.
Five days ago he shared behind-the-scenes snaps of departing Vogue mag editor Edward Enniful’s birthday party — with Naomi at his side, far right.

Followers have been urging them to get together, with one even telling them they were the “next IT couple”, and Naomi often leaves three heart emoji’s next to the posts he tags her in.
Recently, I’ve been told, Naomi has also been spending time in the Middle East with Mohammed.
A source said: “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.”
Naomi keeps her private life low key. She has twice been engaged, first to U2 bassist Adam Clayton then to Italian F1 boss Flavio Briatore, yet never made it down the aisle.
In a rare interview about her love life, Naomi said shortly before she made her first public appearance with Mohammed: “The sacrifice is really finding that soulmate who will understand you.
“It’s really like you feel if they look at you as if you’re strong . . . I’m strong, but I’m also sensitive. I know that in relationships I have to compromise.”
Even if she has just found a very close friend in Mohammed, it’s clear to see Naomi is probably in the best place of her life right now.
Becoming a mum has certainly changed her, with Naomi secretly welcoming her second child last summer.
She said: “It’s the biggest joy I could ever imagine.”

It’s a world away from the Naomi of the Nineties — and I’m here for it.
Nic-ed from Posh?
THERE are many ways to get your mother-in-law on side, and using her as your fashion inspiration is one.
Brooklyn Beckham's wife Nicola Peltz is going all out to impress Posh after the American actress stepped out with her hubby – wearing the same Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket the Spice Girls singer had on in 2001 when she took toddler Brooklyn to a Man Utd match.
Nicola is in Paris with the entire Beckham clan ahead of Posh’s upcoming fashion show in the French capital.
Posh has previously had Mia Regan model for her brand but after she split from Romeo, it’s believed Nicola is going to step into the frame.
The pair have come a long way since it was revealed they had struggled to see eye to-eye, with them said to have butted heads over Nicola’s choice of wedding dress in 2022.
She didn’t wear VB back then, but she sure as hell is now.
Kate’s a Paris leg-end
KATE Moss must know Kylie Minogue is in town this weekend because she pulled out a pair of hot pants in homage to the Aussie pop queen.
The supermodel is back in Paris for fashion week after celebrating her 50th birthday in the French capital last month.
Kate wrapped up in a cosy coat as a guest at Yves Saint Laurent’s catwalk show then later wore her leather short-shorts with a black jumper and court shoes.
Simple really is classic.
Delta force
DELTA Goodrem is back – and she is looking, feeling and sounding better than ever.
The Aussie pop star invited me to hang out with her on Tuesday night at a SoulCycle party which saw her and her guitarist fiancé Matthew Copley join 60 fans in a sweaty workout session to some of her best hits.
Delta made the 45-minute class – which saw us doing push-ups, weights and sprints on our bikes – look like a walk in the park, while I was like an elephant on a tricycle at the back.
Grinning, she told me: “I did a class last year and I loved it. When I got the chance to come back I said yes straight away.”
As well as her new song Hearts On The Run, the class saw us screaming along to hits including Born To Try and Lost Without You.
Fans will next get a chance to see Delta live at Mighty Hoopla in South London’s Brockwell Park this summer – and I’ll be there cheering her on.
Hopefully looking a little less sweaty . . .
