In her early days as a model, Naomi battled drug addiction and went to rehab in 1999 after five years of cocaine addiction. Since then, she has spoken candidly about her period of drug use.
As one of the greatest supermodels in history, Naomi made millions, enjoyed incredible success in her career, and traveled the world.
But last year, she admitted that her high-society lifestyle has meant at least one big sacrifice: finding a long-term romantic partner.
“I would say the sacrifice is really finding that soul mate who understands you,” she told The Cut.
