You just have to take a look at her Instagram account, see her walking through any event or look at the photos that the paparazzi manage to capture of her to see that Heidi Klum is full of love. The person responsible for this state of eternal illusion is her husband, the German musician Tom Kaulitz, whom she secretly married a year after they met.

However, from the beginning of this relationship, the model became the protagonist of the controversy, since Kaulitz is 16 years younger than her. A fact to which they have always turned a deaf ear, oblivious in their own world of happiness and regardless of what they say. An attitude that many believed was feigned, but that the supermodel has reconfirmed: she does not take her age difference into account.

This is how he made it known through a round of questions and answers through his Instagram Stories, in which he responded to one of his followers who asked him precisely about this matter and in a more than direct way. What’s more, the user in question reminded her of her own age compared to her current mother-in-law, asking if she felt that she was of the age to be the mother of her husband or if that was something that she didn’t matter.

The model, sincere, responded: “Honestly, I only feel that way when someone reminds me.”

An answer that perfectly sums up how she feels in her marriage, and that is that since the German met the guitarist from Tokio Hotel, her life changed completely. “I am much happier,” she admitted in an interview with People in 2020, “For the first time I have a partner with whom I can talk about everything. Someone who shares those tasks that we all have in life. I used to be alone for everything, but for the first time I’ve been able to experience what it’s like to have a partner.”

Regarding their age difference, the couple has only spoken on a few occasions, although without understanding why they are so interested. “I am reminded of my age more by strangers than I am of myself,” lamented the model shortly before committing to her now-husband.

“My boyfriend is several years younger than me, and a lot of people wonder about it. It’s the only time my age gets in my face and I have to face it. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t even think about it. I have a happy life and I try not to worry too much about what people think, because all it causes is more wrinkles.”

The model began dating the guitarist after meeting him on the Germany’s Next Top Model program in March 2018, a few years after finalizing her divorce with singer Seal, father of her four children. In 2019, they both said ‘yes, I do’, and their life has been ideal ever since. In February of this year, they have celebrated their fourth anniversary. “She is the love of my life,” Klum wrote, in an affectionate message to her husband.
