InStyle reported that Klum and her ex-husband Seal first crossed paths in 2004. The supermodel and the singer were at a hotel lobby

in New York City when the singer unexpectedly entered the door after going to the gym. At the moment, it was an unplanned meeting.

The model learned she was expecting her daughter Leni, whose father is Flavio Briatore, just a few weeks after they first met, thus the timing of their first meeting was peculiar.

Seal was unaffected by Klum’s pregnancy, and the two continued dating until December 2004, when they got engaged. They got married in Mexico a few months later.

Henry Samuel, Johan Samuel, and Lou Samuel were the names of the couple’s three children. In 2009, Seal adopted Leni.

Unfortunately, the couple’s marriage was short-lived as they filed for divorce in 2012; nevertheless,

it took until 2014 for their split to become official. The pair said the following in a statement they jointly provided to People Magazine at the time:

We have been married for seven incredibly wonderful, devoted, and joyful years, but after much soul-work, we have made the decision to divorce.

Despite our growing distance, we still like each other and have the utmost respect for one another throughout our relationship.’

In 2019, Klum remarried to German musician Tom Kaulitz, a member of the band Tokio Hotel. Despite

her desire for her kids to be out of the spotlight, Klum nevertheless occasionally posts memories of them on social media.

During a 2007 interview with People Magazine, Seal shared his thoughts about being a parent and his marriage to Klum.

‘My spouse and her parents get along well, which is one of the blessings I received from our marriage.

We have excellent support. Regarding his union with the supermodel, Seal remarked, ‘My in-laws are an essential part of our family life.’

Later, when his children were still small, he revealed an incident that really bugged him, telling the outlet,

‘Try getting Leni and Henry to brush their teeth.’Regularly accomplishing that is not as likely as me being the next President of the United States!’

When Leni was an adult in 2021, she walked the red carpet with Seal for the first time. Seal and Klum had already broken up, but the singer still feels a particular connection to his oldest kid.

The musician talked about how close he was to Leni in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying,

‘It’s everything and it has always been like that, from the day I met her mother…. She was two weeks pregnant with this beautiful lady.’ We’ve shared that connection forever.’

Seal was present for the Los Angeles premiere of the film ‘The Book of Clarence’ in January 2024. The musician once strolled the red carpet with his four kids, accompanied by his then-partner Laura Strayer.

The four of them looked like a grown-up family, posing for pictures with big smiles on their faces.
