Heidi Klum's 20-Year-Old Son Lands First Magazine Cover
Klum is a mom of four. She shares daughter Leni, 21, with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, who was later adopted by Seal, and three children with her ex-husband Seal: sons Henry (20), Johan (19), and daughter Lou, 16.
Social media users flooded the Daily Mail’s comment section to weigh in on yet another nepo baby making their way onto magazine covers.
“He definitely isn’t model material, but he is 100% nepotism material,” wrote one person. A second said, “He's not exactly model material, is he?” A third wrote, “Sad, really. There are models who work so hard even to get a photo shoot, and yet you got nepos children just handed to them on a plate. They wouldn’t know what hard work is.” A fourth said, “Another rich kid who gets handed a career.” A fifth quipped, “Another Nepo that doesn’t have what it takes to be a model and is already on the cover of magazines thanks to his famous parents.”
Heidi Klum's Children Follow In Mother's Footsteps
The 52-year-old's children appear to be following in her footsteps. Her eldest daughter, Leni, has carved out her own path in the modeling world while also pursuing studies in interior design.
Leni made her modeling debut at 16, landing the cover of Vogue Germany’s January/February 2021 issue alongside her mother. Since then, she has walked runways and attended major fashion events, including the Venice International Film Festival and Paris Fashion Week.
The mother-daughter duo have also fronted joint campaigns for the Italian brand Intimissimi, posing together in matching lingerie. Those ads sparked significant controversy online, with some social media users expressing discomfort and describing the shoots as "appalling." Much of the criticism centered on perceptions that the mother-daughter imagery crossed an inappropriate line.
