Highlights

• Heidi Klum's youngest children prefer to stay out of the spotlight, unlike their older sister Leni, who is pursuing a modeling career.
• The three younger children primarily live with Heidi and her husband Tom Kaulitz, but reportedly have a great relationship with their father, Seal.
• Leni Klum is also studying interior design at NYU alongside her modeling career.

Though Heidi Klum is world-famous for modeling, acting, and fashion, the 50-year-old is also a mom of four kids. Despite working all over the globe, and experiencing a couple of marriages and divorces, Heidi has always made her kids a priority.

These days, she's sticking close to home (and making big bucks) on 'America's Got Talent', though. From her kids visiting on set to bringing them along on her yacht wedding last year, Heidi gets her not-so-little ones involved in just about everything she does.

But what are her kids up to these days, especially her mini-me teen daughter?

Updated January 2024: Of Heidi Klum's four kids, the only one who enjoys time in the spotlight is the oldest, Leni. As such, she is known to join Heidi on the red carpet and has been modeling since she was 16 years old. However, Leni is also interested in interior design and is going to college at NYU to study the same.

As for the youngest three kids, Henry, Johan, and Lou, they want to stay out of the spotlight. As such, little is known about the trio except the small tidbits Heidi shares on Instagram from time to time.

Who Are Heidi Klum's Kids?

Leni Klum, Henry Samuel, Johan Samuel, and Lou Samuel are Heidi Klum's children

First, the basics: Heidi's four kids are Helen, AKA Leni (born in 2003), Henry (born in 2005), Johan (2006), and Lou (2009). Heidi considers Seal (real name Henry Samuel) to be Leni's father, though her biological dad is Heidi's former fling, Flavio Briatore. Seal was there when Leni was born, and he did adopt her later on (though her Instagram handle says LeniKlum).

The three younger kids are all Seal's biological children, and all four lived with Heidi and Seal during their seven-year marriage. But in 2012, they split for good, and Heidi began dating her bodyguard.

Heidi also dated an art curator for a few years, then got together with and later married guitarist Tom Kaulitz. By all accounts, Tom has a great relationship with Heidi's kids, from near-grown Leni to youngest kiddo Lou. They liked Tom so much they helped him propose to Heidi in 2019.

Heidi Klum's Kids Live With Her Most Of The Time

It does appear that the younger kids primarily live with Heidi and Tom. This can be seen in the photos that Heidi posts of the kids on Instagram occasionally. However, most of the time, they do not want their faces shown and will hide to the best of their ability to make sure the camera does not catch them.

Though fans might be curious as to what Seal has been up to since he and Heidi split, it would seem that one thing he has been doing is spending plenty of time with his kids. Just because Seal does not have his kids the majority of the time does not mean he does not see them. All four kids reportedly have a great relationship with their dad.

A turning point for Leni came in 2018 when she met her biological father in Italy. Wonderwall related the meeting, which included both Heidi and her ex-husband, along with Leni, in a family dinner of sorts.

Flavio admitted that he gave Seal and Heidi permission for Seal to adopt a then-infant Helene, confirmed to Wonderwall, as he recognized that a child needed to be raised in a family.

Heidi Klum's Youngest Kids Do Not Want To Follow In Her Footsteps

Leni Klum is the only child who has an interest in modeling

As for the other three kiddos that Seal and Heidi welcomed together, less is known about Henry, Johan, and Lou. Though Heidi does say her youngest kids do not want to follow in her footsteps, Leni is doing just that. While she had to wait until she was 16 years old to model, since that time, Leni has been landing jobs just like Heidi did at that age.

But, Leni has also decided to go to college. That college is NYU and while booking modeling jobs, Leni is also studying to get a degree in interior design.

By the looks of Heidi's Instagram, Lou looks to be a baker (sharing video chat cooking lessons with her grandma), enjoys dancing, and is a fan of Halloween just like Heidi. As for the boys, at one point, Johan was an artist, and Henry had a flair for fashion. But because Heidi chooses to keep them out of the spotlight as much as possible, none of the younger kids are on social media and their interests have not been exposed to the world. As such, the kids get to grow up out of the spotlight and live life on their own terms. But, would you expect anything less from Heidi Klum??
