Heidi Klum is a famous supermodel and TV presenter. She can rightfully be called the personification of the ideal modern woman who manages not only to build an outstanding career, but also to raise four children, while remaining desirable and interesting for many men. So, after parting with her second husband, singer Silom, Heidi recently gathered again down the aisle. At the end of 2018, she announced her engagement to young musician Tom Kaulitz, who is 16 years her junior.
Love drama
Heidi began her successful career by winning a national modeling competition in 1992 in her homeland in Germany. At the turn of the century, she was already one of the richest and most famous stars of catwalks and glossy magazines. In 1999, Klum signed a contract with Victoria's Secret and became the so-called Angel of this fashion brand, going down in history as the first German model to receive such an honor.
The blonde beauty met her first husband at work. Rick Pipino was a renowned hairdresser and stylist who collaborated with many catwalk stars to create creative hairstyles for fashion shows, advertisements, and photo shoots. Heidi received her marriage proposal in a rather romantic setting - on the roof of the famous Empire State Building in New York. 15 months after the engagement, on September 6, 1997, the couple got married in Stone Ridge, a New York suburb. This marriage lasted 5 years and ended in November 2002. The former spouses managed to part peacefully and calmly, they did not have time to acquire common children over the years of their marriage.
Having gained freedom, the German beauty began an affair with the Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, known for his work in the prestigious Formula 1 races. However, the new lover obviously did not consider the relationship with Klum in the long term. Therefore, very soon she broke up with him, seeing on the pages of the tabloids a photo where Briatore kissing the heiress of the famous jewelry house Fiona Swarovski. For Heidi, the breakup became a real love drama, as she was expecting a child from her ex-boyfriend.
Noble knight
Fortunately, just at this difficult moment in life, the model met the singer Seal, who soon became her second husband. The future couple met at the GQ Award event in London in late 2003. But they did not really pay attention to each other until a few weeks later, accidentally bumping into the lobby of a hotel in New York. After a month of dating and active communication, Klum informed the new gentleman about her pregnancy. The musician recalled that this news, of course, stunned him, but did not change his sincere desire to continue the relationship with the beautiful blonde.
When Heidi gave birth to her daughter Leni in May 2004, Seal happily took on the role of the girl's father. Flavio Briatore never expressed a desire to participate in the child's life, and his deceived beloved was not delighted with this idea. Moreover, a loving and caring man finally appeared in her life. Already in December 2004, Seal proposed to the girl. He invited her to a ski resort in Whistler, located in the Canadian province of British Columbia. There, the lovers climbed to a height of 14 thousand feet and found themselves in a beautiful snow cave, where an igloo, an Eskimo dwelling, was specially built for them. In this romantic snow and ice entourage, the engagement of the supermodel and the singer took place.
In May 2005, Heidi and Seal got married in the Mexican resort of Costa Careyes, where the musician has his own home. By that time, the model was already expecting a second child, so she appeared in front of 40 guests in a high-waisted wedding dress from Vera Wang. Already in September, the couple had a son, Henry, and after 14 months he had a younger brother, who was named Johan. The couple decided not to stop at three children, so in October 2009 their family was replenished with a second daughter named Lou.
In between pregnancies, the model managed to pursue a career, and once even appeared on the catwalk of the famous Victoria's Secret Show just three weeks after giving birth. In 2009, Seal officially adopted his wife's daughter, and Heidi, in turn, decided to take her husband's surname.
This marriage seemed to the public to be perfect and surprisingly harmonious. The spouses came up with a special tradition for themselves, according to which, on the next anniversary of their marriage, they renewed their wedding vows and organized a merry holiday. They confessed their love to each other in an interview, Seal dedicated songs to his wife and filmed it in his videos. Therefore, the news of the divorce, which sounded in January 2012, caused shock and bewilderment among the fans of the couple.
Third attempt
The second marriage of the German model was officially dissolved in October 2014. By that time, she had long been building her personal life separately from her ex-husband. Soon after the announcement of the breakup, Heidi began dating her bodyguard Martin Kirsten. In an interview, Seal hinted that this love affair began during their marriage and was the reason for the divorce. Klum reacted indignantly to the words of the singer, after which he apologized, accusing journalists of distorting his words.
The model parted ways with her bodyguard after two years of relationship and in 2014 switched to young art dealer Vito Schnabel. This romance lasted for about three years, and Klum's boyfriend was more than once seen by the paparazzi in the company of other women.
At the beginning of 2018, the musician Tom Kaulitz, a member of the famous German group Tokio Hotel, appeared in the life of the model and TV presenter. It's funny that in their youth, Tom and his twin brother Bill in one of their interviews called Heidi Klum the woman of their dreams. The new couple first appeared in public at one of the Cannes Festival parties. Since then, the lovers seem to have become inseparable. Tom got along well with Heidi's four children. By the way, she maintained good relations with Silom, and the singer is still actively involved in the life of his heirs.
At the end of December 2018, Klum shared on Instagram the news of her engagement to Kaulitz, who is 16 years younger than her. She showed off a photo of a diamond engagement ring with the caption: "I said YES!" Fans began to congratulate the German beauty, who by her example proves to everyone that a woman can remain interesting and attractive for a long time, regardless of her age or having children.
