Leni Klum: who is Heidi’s daughter, a teen model often at the center of controversy

He has only turned 18 a few months ago, but Leni Klum is already one of the most requested models of the moment, ready to follow, if not surpass, in the footsteps of her mother Heidi. In short, fashion is part of her and hers DNA, with two parents so famous behind her (her father is the singer Seal), she has been used to managing the spotlight since she was a child. Lights that, sometimes, instead of shining, dazzle and, in fact, our Leni has already found herself face some controversy and controversy related to its name and his work. Let’s make a small recap to understand what it is:

Why was Heidi Klum dressed as a worm?

WHO IS HIS REAL FATHER?

If you type his name into Google, the first suggestion that comes up is this question. Effectively, the story is a bit complicated because i Leni’s biological parents are Heidi Klum and the Italian entrepreneur, Flavio Briatore. The model was born in 2004, when their love story had already ended a few months ago. Formally, Briatore never recognized her daughter as well, when the former angel’s Victoria’s Secret started a relationship with Seal, the singer offered to adopt her and legally make her his daughter. The relations between Leni and Briatore are quite formal: the two are first seen in 2018, although over the years they have often spoken over the phone. Last summer, they spent a few days of vacation together in Italy, when the model got to know her half-brother, Nathan Falco.

IS A MODEL ONLY BECAUSE HAS FAMOUS PARENTS

IS one of the criticisms that is most often addressed to her, especially since he got to model for an important brand like Dolce & Gabbana. The models that walk the catwalk are usually very tall (over 175cm), while Leni is definitely shorter (163cm) and, to be honest, there are very few models with a stature similar to hers. These criticisms, however, have by no means affected Leni who has, on the contrary, decided to respond in kind: “My parents are famous and I cannot deny that I was helped by them in the beginning of my career. Many would dream of opportunities as I have had them: I am aware of it. However, now I do everything by myself, I manage my career and my work without their involvement“. Indeed, he also underlined how much “dedication and commitment” he puts into everything he does and that the results achieved are precisely the result of this combination.

THE LINGERIE CAMPAIGN WITH HIS MOTHER HEIDI WAS RATHER STRANGE

The Italian brand Intimissimi has chosen Heidi and Leni Klum as testimonial of the new underwear line. As wonderful as both are in the shots of the advertising campaign, it must be admitted that the service seemed rather odd. Many have gone so far as to define it “Totally inappropriate”: it is not usual to see a mother and daughter posing together in lingerie. For Leni, however, it was a fantastic experience: “I don’t understand the scandalized comments. I am so happy and had a wonderful day on set. Working with my mother was fantastic: it was great to see her at work, to receive her advice from her, to pose with her and I could go on indefinitely ».
