Heidi Klum’s eldest son Henry is all grown up!

 
In January, the supermodel shared a rare pic of her 18-year-old son on Instagram. The mother-and-son duo were seen dining out with her husband Tom Kaulitz and Klum’s model daughter Leni, as reported by NBC.

So, who is he and what do we know about him so far?

Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel’s background

 
Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel was born in Los Angeles on September 12, 2005 to the former Victoria’s Secret model and her now-ex-husband Seal.
 

His parents were together from 2005 to 2014.

Even from a young age, people were quick to draw comparisons between Samuel and his father, Seal – much to his mum’s frustration early on.

“Everyone who sees him says, ‘Oh my god, he looks just like Seal.’ And I’m like, ‘He has nothing of me? C’mon, there must be something of me in there somewhere.’ And they’re like, ‘No, sorry, he looks just like his father,’” Klum explained to People not long after he was born.

In a more recent interview with NBC Insider, Klum also spoke about how fast he’s grown up – in both age and height. “He’s 18 now and I posted a photo of him where he was, I think, maybe three or four days old,” she told the publication. “We had just brought him home. He was a tiny little thing.”

 

“I mean, he wasn’t, because my kids were all quite big at birth, but when I look at him now he’s 6ft 3 [190cm]! Now I look like the tiny thing next to him,” she added. “It’s incredible.”

 

Seal is also very tall at 192cm, as is Klum at 176cm.

In 2008, Klum opened up about her children’s upbringing and how they loved to play dress-up, especially little Henry. She told People that her eldest son was comfortable experimenting with all kinds of garments, including his sister’s princess gowns. “There’s nothing wrong with that,” she said.

How many biological children does Heidi Klum have?

Klum shares four children with her ex husband Seal: Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou. She is notoriously private about their family life, rarely sharing photos of them on social media.

Her eldest daughter, 19-year-old Leni, (whose biological father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore – Seal adopted her in 2009) entered the spotlight in late 2020 after making her modelling debut on the cover of German Vogue alongside her mum, per USA Today.
