You probably know that Heidi Klum has four children. She shares Leni with ex Flavio Briatore, and she shares Henry, Johan, and Lou with another ex, the one and only Seal.
You may also remember a few years ago — 2023, specifically — when Heidi faced some backlash online for appearing in an ad alongside Leni (who is 21 years old) for the Italian fashion brand Intimissimi.
In a new interview with People, Heidi responded to the noise around the ad — and she also defended her practice of being topless around her children while at home.
“A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, I don’t know about mom and daughter doing this together,’” she said about the ad. “But for us? I’m proud of my daughter. She’s fine with me like that.”
Heidi went on to say that she's "very open with my body," and explained that she sometimes sunbathes topless in the backyard of her home while her family is around.
"When I’m suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I’m European," she said. "My kids don’t know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it.”
