Heidi Klum and Seal’s Son Made His Runway Debut at Couture Fashion Week

Heidi Klum‘s son, Henry Samuel, is following in his super model mother’s footsteps. Earlier this week, the burgeoning model made his runway debut during the Lena Erziak Haute Couture spring 2025 show as a part of Paris Couture Week.

While coming down the runway, Samuel, whom Klum shares with ex-husband Seal, wore two different black suits: One featured a backless blazer and a sash tied around his waist, while the other was accessorized with a large satin cape that had bedazzled brooches and was draped over his shoulders. The 19-year-old’s braids were worn in a half-up style, and he sported a mustache.

Although it doesn’t seem that Klum was in attendance at Tuesday’s show, she was quite the proud mother when she took to Instagram to share a clip of Samuel walking. “I still can’t get over this! You rocked it Henry—I‘m so proud of you! @henrysamle @lena_erziak,” she wrote alongside the video that was captured by Vogue Germany.

Ahead of the show, Samuel told the publication that he was excited to get out there and enjoy his foray into the fashion world. “I’m more excited than nervous. I’m going to do my best and try to enjoy every moment to the fullest!” 

Samuel shared that he also got some words of wisdom from his famous mother and model sister, Leni Klum—who made her own runway debut in 2021. “Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head,” he shared. “My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun.

“My mother often reminds me to pay attention to my posture, so I try to heed her advice,” he added.

Klum and Seal share Henry and Leni, as well as son Johan and daughter Lou. Klum and Seal split in 2012, and the model went on to re-marry Tom Kaulitz in 2019. Klum previously revealed that Kaulitz has a great relationship with her kids and even asked their blessing before proposing to their mom. “The sweetest thing that my partner has done for me is [ask] my kids first if he could ask for my hand,” she told People last year. “He was in cahoots with my kids. They figured out how they were going to do it and then they all surprised me on Christmas morning. I thought that was so nice that he involved my kids.”
