British supermodel Naomi Campbell revealed her secret wish to have a child in an interview at a recent fashion event, according to Britain’s Press Association. She admits that she “would love to have kids” and that now is the right time. As she is close to her 40s she knows she needs to “hurry up” the process.

“Until March, I wasn’t able to have kids. Now I can. They thought it was a cyst. When they opened it up they realized it was more,” the supermodel said.

Earlier this year, the supermodel was admitted to a renowned Brazilian hospital, Sirio Libanes Hospital, where she underwent an emergency surgery to remove a small cyst from her abdomen. The 37-year old catwalk star was treated by gynechologist Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti and infectious disease specialist Dr. David Uip.

She recovered very well from her surgery and her gynechologist declined to reveal details about the nature of her condition, but he said the model was “completely cured.”

Campbell spent a week at the Sirio Libanes Hospital. In a statement issued after the surgery, her publicist Jeff Raymond told the media that the supermodel was resting after the procedure and thanked the medical staff for taking care of her. “Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work,” he said.

“They thought it was a cyst. When they opened it up they realized it was more,” Campbell told reporters, according to Britain’s Press Association. The supermodel revealed that she was previously infertile until the surgery she underwent this March. Campbell is now in perfect health and is anxious to have a family, as she thinks that “giving birth is bringing a new energy into the world.”
