Heidi Klum 'doesn't worry about age-shaming'
The 52-year-old model has suggested that attitudes towards ageing have changed in recent years, observing that it's now "okay to be older".
Heidi told People: "I feel like we're more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we've changed and come all that way."
Heidi doesn't have any fears of "age-shaming or body-shaming".
She shared: "For me to be older, it doesn't matter. I don't have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do. I like to run around sexy — even now at 52."
Heidi actually loves posting sexy photos of herself on social media.
The model suggested that she's been posting so-called thirst traps since before social media was invented.
She said: "I've been photographing nude or in lingerie since 1992, way before Instagram.
"So for me, it's nothing new. For the past 15 years, other people are now doing what I've been doing for 30 years. Instead of being in my little bottoms in a magazine, I'm on Instagram. It's the same thing."
The model has also encouraged other women to not "hide" once they reach 50.
She said: "The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You're not off the shelf. We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see.
"Don't hide in your 50s. Beauty is ever-changing, and I'm here for the change. If it's always the same, life is boring."
Heidi is married to 35-year-old musician Tom Kaulitz, and she previously described her husband as a "great man".
The model also rubbished criticism of their age gap.
Asked why it's such a big issue for so many people, Heidi told Glamour magazine: "I think it's often just spitefulness.
"Perhaps many people also think I've had too much luck in life. I have a great job, I get to travel the world, I can buy expensive things. And now I've also got myself such a great man."

Tyra Banks makes shocking confession about ‘disgusting and erotic' addiction
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Tyra Banks knows how to pick 'em. The supermodel revealed her 'disgusting and erotic' habit of popping pimples and picking dirt from other people's toes during Thursday's episode of US show Today With Jenna & Friends. 'I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don't mind digging it out,' Banks, who is co-hosting this week, told Jenna Bush Hager. 'But I have a kit. You have to have a kit. Some alcohol, you know. Some stuff!' Banks shocked with her "disgusting" addiction. Picture: Supplied When Bush Hager asked who she targets with these rituals, the America's Next Top Model alum admitted that anyone in her household is fair game, reports Page Six. 'Anyone that wants it — my mum, my friends, my man, my son,' Banks confessed, referencing her beau, Louis Bélanger-Martin. 'And then, a pimple? If you had a pimple, I would be staring at you.' Banks labelled her 'addiction' as 'disgusting and erotic at the same time,' explaining, 'It touches those parts of me.' Banks at a tennis event during the Australian Open in January.

'If somebody's like, 'Oh, can you check this?' I'm like, 'No … that's where I draw the line.' Chest up and knees down? It's on. I'm not popping and picking nothing [outside of] there.' The model further grossed out Bush Hager as she explained that her foot-focused obsession can get quite stinky at times. 'The toenail, because there's been stuff in there. The jam. The toe jam is up in the nail, and then you pick, and sometimes it's different colours. Sometimes it's brown, sometimes it's green,' she described. She's known for her glamorous appearance. Picture: Instagram. Banks has been romantically linked to Canadian businessman Bélanger-Martin since August 2018. In November 2019, we exclusively reported that the pair was taking the next step in their relationship by moving in together. 'Tyra and Louis live together but Louis always moves around a lot for business reasons,' an insider told us, adding that he and his ex-wife, Valérie Martin Scraire, have an apartment in England, a house in Barbados, and a home in Magog, Quebec. 'Louis also spends some time with his own child in England and around the world for business,' said the source. 'Tyra's child has his own room at Louis [and] Valerie's house in Magog and Tyra moved some of her stuff — clothes, jewellery — there too.'

Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, has got engaged to an NHS nurse. The 47-year-old member of the British royal family - whose parents are Captain Mark Phillips and The Princess Royal, the younger sister of King Charles - has announced he is to marry Harriet Sperling after a year of dating with both families overjoyed with the news. A statement issued for the couple by Gerard Franklin read: "Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement. "Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. "Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement." At the moment there is no official date for the wedding. Peter - who is the nephew of King Charles and was the eldest grandchild of the late - was fifth in line to the throne at birth and remained so until the birth of his cousin William, Prince of Wales, in 1982. Peter has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, from his relationship with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly. The pair, who wed in 2008, announced their separation in February 2020 and their divorce was finalised in June 2021. A statement released at the time read: "Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost. "Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions. "Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives." After his separation from Autumn, Peter was in a relationship with Lindsay Wallace for three years. While dating, they attended several royal family events together, including King Charles' Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle. Peter and Harriet - who has a daughter, Georgia - first went public as a couple in May 2024 when they were seen at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire, England. Later that same summer they were seen enjoying Wimbledon sat in the royal box. Harriet has accompanied Peter to numerous events with other members of the royal family such as the Royal Ascot race meet.
