The German supermodel Heidi Klum (47) became a famous face after she broke through on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s bikini edition. She also became the first German Victoria’s Secret Angel in the late 90’s, and since then she has had a terrific modeling career.
In private, she is the mother of four children to Helene (16), Henry (15), Lou (11) and Johan (14) – and married to Tokyo Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz (31).
Eldstedattera was born in May 2004, shortly after the supermodel and Italian businessman Flavio Briatore went their separate ways. Five years later, Helene, who goes by the nickname Leni, was adopted by Klum’s then husband Seal (57).
Debuts with mom
Klum has previously stated that the 16-year-old daughter has had a desire to follow in her model footsteps, and now it may seem that the dream has come true.
The 16-year-old makes his debut as a model on the cover of German Vogue in the January / February issue for next year. It reports People.
However, it is not only the 16-year-old who is on the cover, but also her world-famous mother – both wearing colorful outfits.
“I’m ecstatic about my first cover! I had so much fun on the set of German Vogue, and I could not have dreamed of a better start. Thank you for being by my side, Heidi Klum “, Leni writes on Instagram for a photo of the Vogue cover taken by photographer Chris Colls.
However, it is not only Leni who is ecstatic about the cover, but also the mother, who fails to hide the fact that she almost bursts with pride over her daughter.
“I’m so proud of you. And it’s not because you’ve chosen your own path. I know that no matter which way you go, you would be your own woman. You have always known exactly what you want and do not. You are my little minime, and I am so happy on your behalf – that you know who you are “, she writes in a long, loving post dedicated to her daughter on Instagram.

Praise the daughter in the clouds
The supermodel admits that being her daughter is not always easy as Leni has never had the opportunity to have a “normal” upbringing.
‘But what is normal? Growing up with three different fathers… And I want to say: None of that has hurt you. On the contrary. You are a self-controlled, young woman, working hard to achieve your goals. And even more importantly: You are a very cool person with your heart in the right place “, the mother of four continues.
In conclusion, Klum writes that her daughter’s Vogue cover is the best, first step towards the career she dreams of.
“And even though it’s a little difficult for me to let you out into the world, I will always do my best to make you happy and fulfill your dreams. I’m so proud to be your mum “, she concludes the post with.

Has rejected several offers
Like other celebrity children, the 16-year-old has several times had the opportunity to be a model before. Last week, however, Klum explained to People that she has always rejected offers her daughter has received. She justified this by saying that she wanted to protect her daughter’s privacy.
But now, however, the pipe has a different sound, which is due to the fact that she is old enough, according to her mother.
– I always thought she was too young. We have always been determined to keep children out of the public eye. But she drives a car now and she is 16 years old, so I found out that if she can do it, then she can also be a model, if that is what she wants, Klum elaborated.
However, she pointed out that as a mother she obviously wants her daughter to be allowed to do what they want.
– The industry is fantastic, I love it, and I have been in the industry for over 20 years, but there is also a lot of travel. You have to be a strong person, especially as a woman you have to be strong, she added.
In addition to the Vogue front page, mother and daughter have also posed in a nice video, which is shared on the Instagram profile of German Vogue. The duo talks about the mother-daughter relationship.
– You are my best friend since I can tell you everything, Leni says to her mother in the video clip.
