Who is Leni Klum? All we know as Heidi Klum and daughter attend King’s Trust Gala

The first German model to become a Victoria's Secret Angel, Heidi Klum, on May 1, 2025, walked the red carpet as she and her daughter Leni Klum attended the King's Trust 4th Annual Global Gala. The star-studded event was held at Casa Cipriani in Manhattan, New York. The once-in-a-year event was attended by several high-profile personalities across various industries, including film, music, and fashion.

The German-American supermodel Heidi Klum, who is widely known for hosting reality shows like Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model, attended the King's Trust Gala along with her oldest child, Leni, whom she shares with her former husband, Flavio Briatore, an Italian businessman. Leni, who is about to turn 21 on Sunday, May 4, 2025, looked equally dapper as her mother, as both of them were dressed in black attire.

Born to Heidi and Briatore on May 4, 2004, in New York City, Leni decided to follow her mother's career path as she made her modelling debut for Vogue Germany alongside her mother at the age of 16. Speaking to People Magazine about her experience at the time, Leni said:

"That's, like, insane that I did that as my first job and my mom was with me, which made it so much fun. It was just such a good day. I wasn't nervous at all. I was just so excited. I was like, 'I'm finally modeling, and it's Vogue.' It was just so many things to be excited about."

Heidi made sure to keep Leni out of the public eye until she turned 16. The soon-to-be 21 Leni moved to New York City from Los Angeles to pursue her studies as well as her modelling career. She studied interior design, which she had wanted to study since she was 14.

In 2021, Leni opened for Berlin Fashion Week, where she walked for major brands like Dolce & Gabbana, and also appeared in campaigns for Fila and Dior Beauty. In 2022, she, along with her mother, Heidi, appeared in a lingerie campaign for Intimissimi.

Besides Leni, whom Heidi shares with Flavio Briatore, she has three other kids, Lou, Henry, and Johan, with her former husband Seal, who is a record producer and singer. However, Heidi Klum is currently happily married to German guitarist and producer, Tom Kaulitz.
