Heidi Klum

Although Heidi Klum has been famous for over a decade, her millions of fans only recently started to get to know the personality behind the gorgeous face and curvy body. Heidi Klum was born in Germany, June 1, 1973, and in the nineties experienced a massive surge in popularity. She landed the best jobs in modeling, appearing first in the celebrated Victoria’s Secret Catalog and then shortly after in Sports Illustrated’s famed Swimsuit Issue. By this time, 1998, the young model was secure in a bright, fame-filled future.

Her happiness only increased when the critically acclaimed and commercial giant Seal became her husband in 2005. Seal comes from England, and is perhaps best known for his soul vocal hit “Kiss from the Rose.” Together they raise Klum’s child from an earlier relationship with the Italian King of Speed, Flavio Briatore. She also has a child with Seal, and is on the record describing the quality of her relationship with Seal, praising his ability and commitment as a husband and father.

Heidi Klum is a good deal brighter than the average model, and has used her recognition to great advantage. Her fashion sense and eye for style had her hosting “Project Runway,” which gave aspiring fashion designers a shot at their big break. When “America’s Next Top Model” became a smash hit, the charismatic Heidi Klum was a natural choice to take on Tyra’s role in “Germany’s Next Top Model.” The show went on to be highly successful, opening the door for future media projects.

Heidi Klum has recently been giving more attention to developing her own products, including shoes, jewelry and clothes. She has won critical praise for her television and film appearances, and is only increasing in popularity. She is also gaining recognition as a painter and sculpture, with some of her paintings gracing the pages of America’s best art magazines.
