Heidi Klum’s son, Henry, recently revealed that his mother helped him become very confident, encouraging him to pursue a similar career path. They celebrated this by appearing together on the cover of a magazine for the first time.

Henry, 20, and his partner recently did a charming photoshoot for ELLE Germany. In an interview with the magazine, Henry revealed that before he started working in fashion, he used to spend hours playing video games on his computer.

Heidi, age 52, and Henry coordinated their outfits as Henry expressed his desire to become a fashion designer like his mother.

Heidi Klum’s son, Henry, is an up-and-coming figure in the fashion world. She also shares two other children – son Johan, 19, and daughter Lou, 16 – with her ex-husband, musician Seal, who is 62.

Heidi also shares a 21-year-old daughter, Leni, with her former partner, Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, age 75.

Henry revealed the best advice he received from Heidi: to be mindful of his posture.

I enjoy playing video games, and I used to spend hours hunched over the computer. Thankfully, my mother also taught me a lot about believing in myself.

Heidi shared that she’s generally optimistic and believes people can improve their outlook on themselves and life through effort.

I definitely have moments of self-doubt and struggle with liking who I am. However, I’ve learned ways to shift my focus and feel good again.

I’ll never forget my first modeling job – it was for a bridal magazine. The photographer was… harsh, to say the least. He actually told me my laugh sounded awful, and he didn’t say it nicely – he really yelled at me! It was a pretty discouraging experience, honestly.

I was so upset I started crying. But I refused to let it defeat me. I practiced laughing in front of the mirror until it felt natural, and now, my laugh is a part of who I am.

I was so charmed watching Heidi and Henry on the American Music Awards red carpet! They shared how incredibly close they are, and even hinted at the possibility of collaborating on a project together down the road. It’s lovely to see such a strong connection and creative energy between them – definitely something fans will be excited about!

Henry praised his parents for being an ‘inspiration’ to him.

‘Anything that I do, [my parents are] always so supportive,’ he told Daily Mail.

Heidi and her daughter Leni have starred in several advertising campaigns together, and they’ve dismissed past criticism that those campaigns, particularly lingerie shoots, were unsuitable.

The TV star and her daughter wore matching, pale-colored cashmere sweaters for the Intimissimi ad campaign.

Heidi Klum recently told People magazine that some people have questioned her working with her daughter, but she’s very proud of her and they’re both comfortable with it.

She also told the publication that she’s always been comfortable with her body, and sometimes sunbathes in her backyard without wearing a top.

I grew up in Europe, and my children have only ever known that side of me. I think it’s helped them develop a comfortable and relaxed attitude towards their bodies.

The actress said people often assume she’s gained confidence with age, but she’s actually always felt confident about herself.

‘I have no problem walking around in my underwear. I’m not hiding in a corner.’
