Naomi Campbell was once engaged to U2 bass player Adam Clayton. Back in 1993, the two public figures made waves for their whirlwind romance. After a few months of dating, Campbell and Clayton announced their engagement. “Adam popped the question on the phone when I was in New York,” the fashion icon revealed during an appearance on Irish TV (via UPI). “We don’t have a date because U2 go on tour next month, so we’ll have to work it out. We want a family, but not right now.” While Campbell seemed eager to start her new life as Mrs. Clayton, the two later called off their engagement for undisclosed reasons.

Fortunately, the “American Horror Story” star and the “With or Without You” musician have remained close friends. When asked about her relationship with Clayton, Campbell told Independent.ie, “Good memories. I’m friends with the whole band. The whole band were great… it’s nice to know people for so long and still have a relationship.” She went on to say that, while she doesn’t talk about her private life, she only has “very positive things to say” about Clayton. “I am very proud of Adam,” she added.
