British supermodel Naomi Campbell flew halfway round the world from US to London to be with her mother who admitted that she had breast cancer, the Mirror reported Monday.

Naomi Campbell had to cancel all the appointments she had and rearranged the whole work schedule to help her mother deal with the awful cancer battle. Valerie Campbell was diagnosed with the disease only two weeks ago.

The 60-year-old Valerie has always been very close to her daughter, and Naomi wanted to be on her mother's side when she needed support and help. The former fashion designer and dancer, Valerie guided the whole daughter's career and supported her through drug troubles, press scandals and heartbreaks.

A source close to the star revealed, according to The Sun: "Naomi is devastated. She and her mother are incredibly close."

Meantime a family friend says:  "Valerie is recovering. The outlook is good."

At the same time the leggy model seems to have found a new boyfriend - Brazilian actor Sergio Marone. The pair started dating during the Rio carnaval in Brasil last month. Could he possibly be the one?
