I`m sorry Mo, but who dated Naomi Campbell and want to marry her was Adam Clayton and not The Edge.

MoApr 25, 2010

The edge DID date Naomi Campbell, you guys have it wrong. I remember reading about them. I believe he wanted to marry her, but if I recall correctly, she totally dissed him.

He never dated Naomi Campbell. Bass Guitarist Adam Clayton did.
