After the cute high school graduate Heidi was discovered by entertainer Thomas Gottschalk in a model contest in 1992, she took off. At that time, she had 25,000 fellow campaigners. Then, as the cover girl of the US magazine "Sports Illustrated" (55 million readers), she finally became famous.

For a long time, she was managed by her father, Günther. However, mother Erna Klum is always close to Heidi and cares for the grandchildren. This is how the "Victoria's Secret" model became a successful entrepreneur!

The trained, long legs, this beautiful radiance under the blonde bangs, the whole super-healthy charm - these are Heidi Klum's trademarks. Simply irresistible!

Heidi Klum's love life

Heidi Klum was born and raised in Bergisch-Gladbach (North Rhine-Westphalia). After graduating from high school in Paffrath, she moved to New York and made a career as a model and advertising face.

In the Big Apple, she also found her first husband in 1997, the Australian star hairdresser Ric Pipino. In 2003 the two divorced again.

Heidi Klum returned to the limelight when she was in a relationship with Formula 1 manager Flavio Briatore in the early 2000s. Briatore is the father of Klum's eldest daughter Leni (*2004).

In 2005, Heidi Klum married British singer Seal Samuel and had three more children with him. The separation followed seven years later. Sons Henry (*2005) and Johan (*2006), daughter Lou (*2009), and big sister Leni live with Heidi in their home in Los Angeles.

From 2014 to 2017, Heidi was in a relationship with art dealer Vito Schnabel, who was 13 years her junior. Before Heidi, Vito snapped around with "The Body" Elle Macpherson, Liv Tyler (daughter of Aerosmith legend Steven Tyler), Demi Moore, and Amber Heard.

Heidi has been with Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz (33) since 2018. In 2019 they married very romantically on Capri—the blended family of six lives together in California. Tom's twin brother Bill is also an integral part of the family.

Leni Klum

When Leni was born, she immediately made headlines and was nicknamed "Das Klümchen" by the press. After that, Heidi consistently kept her older daughter out of the public eye – until she was 16. The breakthrough for Leni came in 2020: with model mom Heidi on the cover of "Vogue." In the meantime, Leni has already adorned several magazine covers.

Germany's Next Topmodel

In Germany, Heidi is best known as a juror for the model casting show "Germany's Next Top Model" (GNTM). To the delight of many teenagers, she has been looking for Germany's next top model since 2006. She has already helped several well-known faces, including the models Lena Gerke, Sara Nuru, and Stefanie Giesinger, to a career.

Without question, Heidi Klum knows precisely what qualities a good model must have. So she takes a very close look at every shoot and every candidate.

So she coined the phrase no "GNTM" candidate wants to hear: "Unfortunately, I don't have a photo for you today!"
