Heidi Klum Actress and ModelHeidi Klum (German pronunciation born June 1, 1973) is a German model, actress, television host, business woman, fashion designer, television producer, artist, and occasional singer. She is married to singer Seal. Klum was the Emmy Award-nominated hostess of Project Runway and Germany's Next Topmodel, and is a Victoria's Secret Angel.
Klum married stylist Ric Pipino in 1997; the couple divorced in 2002. Following the divorce, she had brief relationships with Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis and Formula-1 mogul Flavio Briatore. In the autumn of 2003, Klum announced she was pregnant with Briatore's child. On the day she announced the pregnancy, Briatore was photographed kissing Fiona Swarovski, a jewelry heiress. Klum and Briatore split shortly thereafter. Klum gave birth to Helene (Leni) Boshoven Klum on May 4, 2004 in New York City, New York.
In early 2004, while still pregnant, Klum began a relationship with musician Seal. Klum and Seal married on May 10, 2005, on a beach in Mexico. They have two children together so far, both boys, Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, born September 12, 2005 in Los Angeles, California and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel born November 22, 2006 in Los Angeles. They are expecting another child together, a girl in the fall of 2009. According to Klum, Flavio Briatore is not involved in Leni's life, and she has stated emphatically that "Seal is Leni's father."
On hearing her family referred to as a "patchwork family", Klum said, "I'm not white, I'm a shade of brown," and added, "we're all different shades and we came together and we all love each other...it's actually kind of nice to have a 'patchwork family'." In 2008, Klum became a naturalized American citizen. In 2008, Klum dressed as the Hindu goddess Kālī for a Halloween party. She was not aware that goddess Kali killed only the unjust, and not just anyone. In Hindu religion, goddess Kali is considered one of the first feminist goddess ideas as she fought over injustices done to women. Klum's act upset many Hindus all around the world, and as a result, many Hindus (and some non-Hindus) all around the world vowed not to be a part of any product endorsed by Klum.
Klum and Seal renewed their wedding vows at a "White Trash" themed party at a friend's beach house in Malibu on Saturday (May 9), 2009. With nearly one hundred friends and family members in attendance she kissed with wigged "Kiss From a Rose" singing hubby with a an Elvis Presley lookalike preacher presiding over the ceremony. According to a source on the scene, the group then listened to 60's Rock n' Roll as they partied the night away - with stars such as Debra Messing enjoying the fun-filled festivities. Klum and Seal first planned for the wedding vow renewals to take place in Mexico - but opted to move the event to the States due to the current swine flu problems.
