Heidi Klum is dwarfed by sons Henry, 19, and Johan, 18, as they join her for a rare photo - after admitting she 'loves working with her kids' following eldest boy's catwalk debut in Paris
Heidi Klum was joined by her two sons on Sunday as she made the most of soaring summer temperatures in Los Angeles. The German supermodel posed for a rare social media photo with boys Henry, 19, and Johan, 18, while unwinding in the garden of her southern California home. Klum, a mother-of-four, was dwarfed by her two sons with former husband Seal as they joined her for the photo, which she subsequently shared with Instagram followers. The supermodel is a parent to Henry, Johan and daughter Lou, 15, from her nine-year marriage to the British singer. She was also joined by musician husband Tom Kaulitz, who she married in 2019 - five years after her divorce from Seal - as the family relaxed in the sunshine. Additionally, Klum also raises daughter Leni, 21 - a successful model in her own right - from a past relationship with Formula One principal Flavio Briatore. However, she has previously stated that Briatore played no part in her daughter's life, and she has always considered her ex Seal to be Leni's true father. Klum's eldest son - whose full name is Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel - is also following in her modelling footsteps and made his catwalk debut at Paris Fashion Week in January. He confidently walked the runway at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show at Hotel le Marois. Henry's entry into the modelling world drew a strong reaction online, with some naysayers branding the genetically-blessed teen a 'nepo' baby. 'Funny how all these celebrities kids just get stuff handed to them! It's such a joke! Others have to work for it,' complained one. 'All grown up and very handsome,' wrote another, while a third added, 'Looks just like his mom and dad!' A fourth commented, 'Beautiful, isn't he? Sometimes it's just a matter of what gene you take from each parent. He won the lottery.' In May, Klum and Henry spoke exclusively with about their close bond and potentially working together in the future, with Henry praising his parents for being an 'inspiration' to him. 'Anything that I do, always so supportive and I hope love most importantly, that is number one at the top. So much love,' he added. Regarding a possible collaboration, he said: 'So we might have something, something coming up, we will be doing something together very soon.' Klum added: 'My kids are getting so much older now. I know. I mean, time flies. I also, 20 years ago I had Henry, time flies, it is crazy! I love working with my kids.' The model was also on hand to celebrate her youngest son's graduation from Campbell Hall in California earlier this month. 'Cheering you on today and every day,' she posted at the time. 'Congratulations Johan! My heart is full of joy and pride.' The teenager, full name Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, wore a classic gown and mortar for the ceremony, held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA amid violent ICE raid protests. Notable graduates of the Studio City private school include filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, actress Dakota Fanning, her younger sister Elle Fanning , Modern Family star Ariel Winter and the Olsen twins. Klum will return to host the 10-episode 21st season of design competition Project Runway from July 31. 'It's felt like coming home, really like coming home,' she told People on May 26. 'I can do it with my eyes closed, even though I'm judging clothes, so I have to have my eyes open, but I can do it with my eyes closed. 'I just love fashion so much, and I love how interested they are and how they're champing at the bit to get a spot in the fashion industry. 'So, it's so fun to give them a platform to show what they can do.'

AMA viewers are left baffled as Heidi Klum tries to pull Benson Boone's trousers down on the red carpet before tripping over her own dress
Heidi Klum left viewers baffled as she tugged on Benson Boone's trousers while at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas on Monday. The supermodel, 51, and the singer, 22, bumped into each other on the red carpet and Heidi then playfully pulled at Benson's trousers as he laughed. Heidi then suffered her own wardrobe mishap as she tripped over the train of her dress while turning away from Benson. The star, who attended the event with her son Henry Samuel, 19, hopped over her train as a man on the red carpet helped move the train from her. Some viewers were left confused as to why Heidi tried to pull Benson's trousers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. They wrote: 'Heidi Klum tripping over her own dress while running away from Benson Boone, this is pop culture.' 'But why did she try to pull off his pants?' Heidi's playful jibe at Benson is likely a reference to his performance at this year's Grammy Awards. Benson began his performance in a black suit but, while walking through the audience, Heidi and comedian Nikki Glaser joined in by ripping off his suit to reveal a light blue jumpsuit. This year's AMAs were branded a 'hot mess' and the 'worst show ever' after most major stars snubbed this year's ceremony. Disappointed fans took to social media to complain about the lack of big names at the annual show, which was held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday. Nominees including Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter were all absent from the event, and the guest list instead featured a slew of social media influencers. The event was hosted by Jennifer Lopez, 55, who did her best to single-handedly bring the star power by performing a six-minute medley of 23 hits by the evening's nominees. But the 55-year-old instead sparked criticism over a cringe-worthy make-out session with male and female dancers, with viewers calling the display 'desperate.' Meanwhile singer Kehlani, 30, made waves with controversial remarks on the Israel-Palestine conflict, stating 'free Palestine' during a red carpet interview. And Swift, 35, in particular also caused a melt down among her fans when she snubbed the show, despite being nominated in six categories. After the AMA's concluded, furious fans took online to blast the show as a 'flop.' Many also complained that not all categories were shown during the broadcast. 'AMAs were a FLOP. No a-list celebs, no tay wins, and it felt soooooo conservative and weird this year..... never watching that s*** again lol.' 'I'm sorry what??? That was a hot mess.' 'What in the world did I just watch? They didn't even announce some of the biggest awards! Hot mess.' 'American music awards but like…. Where were the musicians? All I saw were influencers and twitch streamers?' one fan wrote. 'American Music Awards? More like FLOP.' 'That was the worst absolute worst,' someone else chimed in. 'So yall decided not to announce on live tv the category that most than likely received the most votes of the entire night and the category that gave yall the most ratings?? See this is why I don't watch award shows anymore!' 'WHERE IS THE REST OF THE CATEGORIES???' 'you didn't give out awards to 95% of the nominated categories.' 'guys that sucked why so many performances and no awards??' 'Ummmmm so do you know you're an awards show and meant to give out awards? We are confused.' Janet Jackson received the Icon Award during the festivities, while Rod Stewart was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. A number of stars presented the big wins, including comedians Nikki Glaser and Tiffany Haddish, actor Wayne Brady, model Cara Delevingne, pop star Ciara, streamer Kai Cenat, and singers Megan Moroney and Shaboozey. This year marks the first time the awards show was shown on CBS, after being aired on ABC since 1974.
