Heidi Klum has responded to critics after sharing that she often goes topless around her children, saying she doesn’t regret it at all. The supermodel, 52, explains that her kids have never known her any other way, and that being open like this helps teach them confidence and self-acceptance.
Known worldwide for her modeling career and high-profile fashion campaigns, Heidi is also a busy mother to four children: Leni, 21, Henry, 19, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15. Despite her public image, she embraces her role as a mom with all the usual worries and joys that come with raising teenagers and young adults.
In a recent interview, she talked about the worries parents have—from keeping kids safe to hoping they grow up to be good people. But for Heidi, teaching confidence starts at home by being natural and honest.
Heidi’s parenting, especially her work alongside daughter Leni—a model herself—has sometimes faced criticism, with some people uncomfortable with their lingerie photo shoots together. Still, Heidi says she’s proud of their relationship and how comfortable Leni is in her own skin.
She also shares that being open about her body at home, like sunbathing topless in the backyard, is part of her European upbringing and helps her children feel relaxed about their own bodies.
Her son Henry is making a name for himself on the runway and as a kind young man, something Heidi counts among her proudest moments.
Heidi’s message is clear: confidence and love at home create strong kids ready to face the world without shame.
