First picture: Supermodel Gemma Ward poses with her newborn baby girl Naia
Reclusive supermodel Gemma Ward lifted the curtain on her life for a brief moment on Australia Day.
The 26-year-old posed for two photos in Palm Beach, Sydney with her baby girl named Naia - the photos were uploaded by her model friend Amy Fin.
She relocated to Hawaii late last year in preperation for the birth of her child, but is back in Sydney reportedly to visit the family of her partner, 27-year-old model David Letts.
One photo was uploaded on Sunday and the other on Monday, but both featured Ward clad in all black with young Naia stealing the spotlight.
Ward has modeled since the age of 15, and was the youngest person ever to grace the cover the America's Vogue Magazine.
Despite her success, she told The Daily Telegraph in 2011 that she decided to take a break from the public spotlight following the death of then-boyfriend Heath Ledger in 2008.
Since 2008 she's slowed down her modelling career to pursue acting, and met her current partner, David.
The two gave birth to their first child, Naia, in December last year. The baby girl was named after a type of female spirit that presided over bodies of water in Greek Mythology.
2008 was a strong year for Ward; she was nominated for two 'best actress' awards for her role in the Australian film The Black Balloon, and she also starred in the American horror film The Strangers, which grossed over $80 million.
Since then she's had small parts in huge movies, with roles in 2011's Pirates Of The Carribean: On Stranger Tides and 2013's The Great Gatsby.
