Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum was born on June 1, 1973, in Bergisch-Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. She started her modeling career at the age of 18. After moving to New York, she landed work with Victoria's Secret. She reached supermodel status after appearing on the cover of the 1998 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. In recent years, she has produced and served as host and judge of the reality fashion competition show Project Runway.

In 1997 Klum married famed hairstylist Ric Pipino, but the couple divorced in 2002. In 2004 Klum became pregnant with her first child by boyfriend Flavio Briatore, an Italian racecar team manager. But the couple split up shortly before the baby was born, and Klum became involved with British singer Seal. On May 4, she gave birth to her daughter Leni.

Shortly after the launch of Project Runway in 2004, Klum's life took another interesting turn. Her boyfriend Seal proposed to her on top of a glacier in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. They married in May 2005 and welcomed son Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel on September 12. Klum stunned many by returning to modeling in less than two months after her son's arrival, looking fabulous as part of the nationally televised Victoria's Secret fashion show.

Klum and Seal expanded their family with one more son, Johan, on November 26, 2006, and their first daughter, Lou, born on October 9, 2009. It was announced in January of 2012 that Seal and Klum were separating after several years of marriage. Klum officially filed for divorce from Seal in April of 2012 (it was finalized in 2014) and not long after, she began dating her bodyguard Martin Kristen. She and Kristen ended their relationship in 2014.
