Henry Samuel, the 19-year-old son of supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal, made waves at the Kith FW/25 fashion show in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood on Sunday. The event marked Kith’s first runway presentation in six years, held outside its newly renovated flagship store. This was only Henry’s second major runway appearance after his debut at Lena Erziak’s Paris haute couture SS/25 show in January.

Heidi, 52, proudly cheered her son on Instagram, posting a backstage photo with the caption: “So many beautiful models on the @kith catwalk tonight, but I only have eyes for you @henrygunthersamuel!” Henry, who signed with NEXT Management in July, credits his mother and half-sister Leni, 21, for their modeling advice. “My mom told me to do my best and have fun,” he told Vogue Germany, while Leni advised him to “walk as if balancing a book on your head.”

Despite his rapid rise, Henry—currently enrolled in college—hasn’t committed to modeling full-time. “I have many interests: sports, music, film, and fashion. I want to explore creative paths,” he shared. The 6’3” teen admires his parents’ work ethic, calling them a constant inspiration.

Family Milestones and Heidi’s Projects
Heidi and Seal, who split in 2012, co-parent Henry and his siblings: Leni (whose biological father is Flavio Briatore), Johan, 18, and Lou, 15. Recently, Heidi celebrated Johan’s high school graduation and gushed over Henry’s growth on Instagram earlier this year: “Watching you become this amazing young man fills my heart. You’re destined for greatness!”

The “Queen of Halloween” also made headlines at the Kith show, sitting front row with GMA’s Michael Strahan. She’s currently prepping for her legendary Halloween bash, collaborating with Oscar-nominated makeup artist Mike Marino. Meanwhile, her TV career thrives: she’s judging Project Runway’s 21st season alongside Nina García and Law Roach, marking her return to the show after hosting Amazon’s Making the Cut.

Personal Life and Legacy
Heidi and her third husband, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, 35, recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary. The pair, who met on Germany’s Next Topmodel in 2018, continue to defy their 17-year age gap.

As Henry navigates his future, Klum’s legacy expands. From modeling to TV, she balances motherhood and mogul status, proving creativity runs in the family.
