Just a week ago, Heidi Klum, in a spectacular yellow design by Zuhair Murad, kept flapping her arms from top to bottom so that the cape-like sleeves came to life. Her movements caused some distraction at the bold cleavage, but she didn’t seem to mind. With her flight, the German model had gone to conquer the Cannes festival and boast that, on the verge of turning half a century old and after four pregnancies, she continues to be the owner of an enviable body. Almost the same with which in 1998 he touched the sky with the wings of an angel from Victoria’s Secret and with the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.
Today, June 1, it has been 50 years since Heidi Klum, one of the most powerful women in the fashion industry, was born in the German city of Bergisch Gladbach. Because, in addition to a brilliant career as a model, she is an entrepreneur, designer, presenter and television producer. Since childhood she dreamed of being a model and at the age of 19 she won the Model 92 contest, to which 25,000 young people entered. The prize was a contract with the United States agency Metropolitan for $300,000. Thus began his brilliant career, posing for fashion magazines around the world and parading on the best catwalks.
In 1997 she married her stylist Ric Pipino. The marriage broke up in 2002, but in those 5 years she got the wings of a Victoria’s Secret angel, and became one of the reference models of the firm parading for 13 years, from 1997 to 2009. Also managed to appear in several issues of S ports Illustrated, from 1997 to 2010.
On May 4, 2004, Heidi made her debut as a mother with Leni, who wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a model. The father is Flavio Briatore, with whom she had a relationship that broke up when she became pregnant. The then Renault Formula 1 team principal never recognized the girl, who was adopted by British singer Seal when he married the model on May 10, 2005. In their 7-year marriage, the couple had three sons: Henry (2005), Johan (2006) and Lou (2009).
After breaking up with Seal, Heidi dated her bodyguard and young artist Vito Schnabel, amid talk of Klum’s possible sex addiction. In 2019 she married Tom Kaulitz (33), guitarist of the German band Tokyo Hotel.
In 2004, in addition to debuting as a mother, Heidi Klum also began her television career with Project Runaway, a reality show for fashion designers, with which she won several Emmys, and which she stopped presenting in 2018 Before that, in 2013, he joined as a judge on America’s Got Talent, a task he continues to do.
In 2006, the media covered a legal battle, which did not succeed. Klum dubbed herself The Body wearing a Victoria’s Secret bra with that name, which is the moniker that has always been attributed to model Elle Macpherson. But if there is a nickname that does not admit of discussion, it is that of Queen of Disguise. At Halloween Heidi Klum all the anticipation with the terrifying transformations after hours of laborious make-up sessions.
