Leni Klum becomes 21: a journey through her life in pictures

On May 4, 2025, Leni Klum celebrates her 21st birthday – a milestone for the daughter of Heidi Klum, who has long been more than “the daughter of”. With an impressive fashion career, own beliefs and a clear view of the world, Leni has developed her place in the fashion industry.

A life in the spotlight was almost inevitable with mom. But Heidi Klum kept her daughter out of the public for a long time. It was only at the age of 16 that Leni officially introduced himself to the world – on the cover of the German “Vogue”, together with her mother. A bang for a model debut, but Leni looked confident. “I’ve been waiting for a long time. Now is the right moment,” she said at the time. Time enough to prepare it for the fashion world, she apparently had. Heidi Klum, said in an interview with the star: “If there is something that she doesn’t want to do if someone asked her to do something that she doesn’t want, it is completely okay. It is important to say no, especially as a woman and especially in this business”.

In a few years, Leni Klum managed to create a decade for which other models need: campaigns for luxury brands, cover shoots with an international reputation and an impressive sense of authenticity. This is not least due to their down -to -earth upbringing of German model mom. “I make sure that my children have manners and treat people as they want to be treated themselves. Every person has the same value, you should not be particularly nice to anyone because it seems important while you refer to someone else who seems less important,” says Heidi Klum.

The implementation of this intentions seems to have been successful, because Leni and her three other children Henry, Johan and Lou enjoy media popularity – and are just starting.
