Leni Klum is 21: five facts about Heidi Klum’s daughter

Heidi Klum (51) kept her children out of the public for a long time. This changed at the end of 2020: In a joint cover shoot, she introduced her eldest daughter Leni (21), then 16 years old, to the world. Since then, she has managed to establish itself in the industry – also regardless of her mother. She has various advertising areas, only a few weeks ago the “Glamor” cover and is a welcome guest at events related to the globe such as at the Fashion Week in New York or at the Viennese opera ball. In addition to the professional successes, there are also interesting private facts about the blonde, which, despite her delicate height of 1.63 meters, came out.

Like Heidi Klum, Leni likes to spend time with her loved ones. Her family is her “anchor for my life”, as she reported in “Glamor”. And in her case it is quite unusual: because the 21-year-old almost has three fathers. Her biological dad is the Italian sports manager Flavio Briatore (75), with which Heidi Klum was a short time. Leni always enjoys time with him and her half -brother Nathan Falco Briatore (15).

However, she grew up with Seal (62). The singer was married to Heidi Klum from 2005 to 2012, the two got three children together. He adopted Leni a few years after her birth. For his birthday on February 19, she made him a big public declaration of love. For two loving snapshots and a heart emoji, she certified that he was “the best father since the first day”.

In 2018, a stepfather joined her life with Tom Kaulitz (35). She even has a friendship tattoo with him and his twin brother Bill: three small points on her finger.

This episode also shows that she supports the Tokyo Hotel star at the side of her mother: Together with her three siblings, Leni Tom Kaulitz helped with his marriage proposal. “He asked us all of us for permission,” she said in her first “Vogue” interview. “We brought them to the bed at Christmas, he took the ring, and then we all got really nervous when mom hesitated for a moment.” Heidi Klum only did that to make it a little exciting.

Even if she loves her patchwork family: Leni has been moving out of Villa in Los Angeles for several years and lives in New York. There she not only boosts her model career, but also studies interior design. “For me, modeling and interior design are hand in hand. Interior architecture is quasi fashion for home, that is, the perfect addition to my interests,” she told “Glamor”.

Leni also has a happy hand in love: she has been with her friend Aris Rachevsky for more than five years. A relationship is always “a balance act to accept different versions of itself, but then try together to make a better version of itself”, as she emphasized in the “Glamor” interview. The time with her aris has been “extremely beautiful”. “We definitely had our ups and downs over this time and have also led a long-distance relationship for a while, which is always a challenge.” The couple now lives together and defies the habit with a weekly date night.

With the German language, she is a bit difficult, but she dominates the American sign language. During their first “GNTM” participation, the spectators learned about this surprising ability. A deaf model took part in the season and Leni showed the sign language. There Heidi Klum also revealed that her daughter prefers to learn sign language than a new language such as Spanish.
