Naomi Campbell sparks engagement rumors

February 17 2008

Naomi CampbellNaomi Campbell has sparked rumors she's engaged to her Brazilian businessman boyfriend - after she was seen flashing a giant diamond ring he had bought her.

Naomi met wealthy Marcus Elias two-weeks-ago at a Vogue party in Sao Paolo - and they're already nuts about each other. "They were all over each other and looked perfectly suited," said one source. "Now Naomi's wearing a sparkling diamond ring and everyone is wondering if they've had a whirlwind engagement."

Marcus arrived at the party with another woman, but he soon switched his attentions to Naomi; they ended the evening cuddling up together. Marcus, 49, then whisked Naomi by private jet to the beautiful coastal resort of Trancoso.

Naomi was later overheard declaring her love for balding Marcus at an A-list party hosted by Brazilian minister of culture Gilberto Gil in Salvador. "Marcus and I are so happy together," she laughed.

And she reportedly told a friend: "I want to have a Brazilian baby this year!"

The pair enjoyed a romantic dinner together at Sao Paolo's Gero restaurant before Naomi jetted back to the UK for London Fashion Week, according to Britain's News of The World newspaper.

Marcus, owner of Latin America Equity Partners, remained tight-lipped about his relationship with the 37-year-old British supermodel.

Asked about their romance, he said: "I don't know what you are talking about. It's not elegant to speak about such things. That was my upbringing—Mum told me not to speak on such matters."

A pal added: "Naomi is in love with Marcus and everything Brazilian."
