Inside the lives of Heidi Klum and Seal's children - as their eldest son makes his mark on Paris Fashion Week

All eyes were on Heidi Klum and Seal's teenage son as he made his Paris Fashion Week debut on Tuesday. Henry Samuel, 19, made waves in the fashion community as he walked for Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring/ Summer 2025 show at the City of Love's Hotel le Maroi. While his entry into the modelling world drew a strong reaction online, with some naysayers dubbing him a 'nepo baby', the teen was praised for his strong walk and head-turning looks.

However, Henry isn't the only child blessed by the genes of the German/American model and English singer-songwriter, with the couple raising four children together before filing for divorce in 2012. The couple's eldest, Leni Klum, 20, who was adopted by Seal in 2008 when she was five years old, is similarly forging her way in the modelling world, having secured a string of impressive campaigns, including the cover of Harper's Bazaar Germany.

18-year-old Johan Samuel, the third child and second son of the famous pair, maintains a low profile on the public stage. Following in the footsteps of Johan is Lou Samuel, 15, the pair's youngest and most private child - perhaps owing to her age.

Heidi shares her oldest, Leni, with the Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, from whom she split while still pregnant. Soon afterwards, she began dating Seal, and was in a relationship with the singer when she gave birth.

Heidi went on to tie the knot with her now-ex-husband Seal in 2005, and soon after, he adopted Leni. Heidi and Seal eventually split up in 2012. Flavio has since spoken about how Seal 'raised' Leni and confessed he didn't have a relationship with his daughter, but they now appear to have rebuilt their relationship. Leni made her modeling debut at the age of 16 with her mother on the cover of Vogue Germany - a publication from Heidi's native country.

Leni Klum, Heidi's oldest daughter, made her modelling debut at the age of 16 in Vogue Germany. Seal adopted Heidi (pictured together), whose birth dad is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, when she was five. However, in October 2023 fans expressed concern over an Intimissi shoot where Heidi and Leni showed off their bodies in lingerie while arm in arm. Commenters on Initimissi's Instagram post were largely positive, but several users were disturbed by the mother–daughter display.

'Dude that's your mother,' one person put it bluntly. Another person said: 'Which normal mother would pose together with her daughter in lingerie?'. 'Family business it must be continued,' replied one user. Heidi blocked comments on her post. The campaign faced a barrage of negative attention, including from Howard Stern, who branded the photo-shoot 'so f***ing out of line' and 'so inappropriate.'. Leni, however, responded to the furor by airily remarking to Page Six: 'I honestly didn't look at a lot of the reactions.'.

Heidi and Leni's lingerie shoot (pictured) with Intimissi caused concern among some fans on social media. Pictured: Leni Klum attends the David Yurman event in New York City on 25 April, 2024. She declared: 'I am overall happy with the campaign and I had an amazing day with my mom. I think the photos turned out great, and we had an amazing time.'. Heidi later fired up her Instagram and posted an Intimissimi lingerie shot with Leni - prompting another round of backlash.

The Instagram update came after the showbiz legacy responded to the online allegations she is a 'nepo baby'. 'It's just a fact. My parents are famous,' said Leni, who was adopted by her mother's ex-husband Seal during the marriage. However, she insisted to People magazine that she is 'doing the work and putting in the time' to carve out a career for herself. 'I did get help starting off, and I know that people would dream to start off with what I had,' said Leni, who walked for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week in 2022 with her mother proudly filming her from the audience.

'I'm so grateful that I've been able to take what was gifted to me by my mom. But I am doing the work and putting in the time,' she maintained. 'Now I'm working on my own, traveling alone, going to school. My mom and I just have the same love for the same thing.'. HENRY SAMUEL.
