Heidi Klum Celebrates Daughter Leni’s 21st Birthday with Heartfelt Tribute

LOS ANGELES, CA — Heidi Klum celebrated her daughter Leni’s 21st birthday on Sunday, May 4, with an emotional tribute on social media. The 51-year-old supermodel shared loving throwback photos alongside a heartfelt message, marking the milestone in her daughter’s life.

In her Instagram post, Klum wrote, “Happy Birthday Leni. I love you with all my heart ❤️,” showcasing two nostalgic images of her and Leni. The first photo depicted Klum kissing baby Leni on the forehead, while the second showed a beaming Klum in a hospital bed with her newborn daughter.

Since Leni’s early days, Klum has shared a close bond with her daughter, whom she had with ex-husband Flavio Briatore. Klum also shares three other children — Henry, 19, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15 — with her former husband, musician Seal. Klum and Seal finalized their divorce in October 2014 after separating in January 2012.

Heidi’s current husband, Tom Kaulitz, also embraces his role in Leni’s life, referring to himself as an “extra dad.” The children participated in Klum and Kaulitz’s 2019 wedding ceremony, further solidifying their relationship as a family.

Leni has expressed gratitude for the support she received growing up as the daughter of famous parents. In October 2022, she acknowledged the advantages and challenges of her “nepo baby” status, emphasizing, “I am doing the work and putting in the time. Now I’m working on my own, traveling alone, going to school.”

Celebrating her milestone birthday, Leni also traveled to Florida for the Miami Grand Prix shortly after her birthday, supported by both her biological father, Flavio Briatore, and her half-brother. At the event, the family enjoyed the festivities, reflecting Leni’s vibrant life.

As Leni steps into adulthood, Klum remains a steadfast presence, cherishing every moment of their journey together.
