The Moment
Heidi Klum is 52, madly in love, and finally cracking open the door to the life behind all those wings and Halloween costumes.
In a new interview from her Bel Air home, the supermodel says she and husband Tom Kaulitz “just clicked from the very first moment” and calls the 36-year-old musician “really hot.” Seven years in, she describes feeling “cared for, loved, worshipped” and still thrilled to simply hang out together.
That glow isn’t just romance; it’s also a new era. Klum is launching a two-part documentary series, “On & Off the Catwalk by Heidi Klum”, airing Feb. 22 and March 1 at 8:15 p.m. on German network ProSieben and streamer Joyn. Cameras follow her family life and the three-decade career that turned a German catalog model into an international brand.
The show spotlights two of her four kids stepping into fashion: daughter Leni, who has modeled since she was 16, and son Henry, now a face of YSL Beauty. Klum says her children are naturals on camera, calling them “little hams” who are eager to “show you how this is done!”
Along the way, she talks confidence, aging on her own terms, and a wellness philosophy that sounds more like common sense than boot camp: move your body, don’t overdo it, and do what you actually love while you’re still on this planet.
The Take
I’m just going to say it: Heidi Klum is doing midlife like it’s a limited-edition capsule collection, and honestly, that tracks.
Instead of pretending she woke up like this, she’s giving us something more interesting – a woman in her fifties who is comfortable. Comfortable in her marriage, in her body, in her role as a mom whose kids are old enough to roll their eyes at her fashion choices and still happily film with her.
For years, Klum has been the public version of herself: the super-smiley host on “Project Runway” and “America’s Got Talent,” the Halloween queen who out-weirds everyone on October 31. Fun, yes. Personal? Not really. This doc feels like a pivot from cartoonishly glamorous to working woman and matriarch of a budding fashion dynasty.
She’s also doing something a lot of famous women avoid: aging in plain view, without an apology tour. Saying “all eyes are always on you, so you have to be okay with that – and also like it” is a quietly radical statement in an industry built on telling women to shrink, hide, or filter themselves past recognition after 35.
And let’s talk about the Tom of it all. Hollywood loves a May-December romance – usually with the man holding the AARP card. Klum has flipped that script: she’s older, thriving, and publicly swooning over her younger husband. Instead of spinning that into a crisis, she describes him as “home.” It’s less midlife meltdown, more midlife upgrade.
If her life were a runway show, this doc is the backstage pass: the good lighting, the chaos, and the family members grabbing the spotlight the second someone says “we’re rolling.” The question is how much real mess we’ll see, or if this will be more scented candle than raw diary.

Backstory (For Casual Readers)
If you lost track of Heidi somewhere around the “Project Runway” era, here’s the quick rewind. Klum first broke big as a German model in the 1990s, landing the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and becoming one of Victoria’s Secret’s most famous Angels. She then shifted into TV, creating and hosting “Project Runway” and later joining “America’s Got Talent,” turning herself into a household-name judge and producer.
Her personal life has also played out in public: she was previously married to singer Seal, with whom she shares children including Leni, and later married Tom Kaulitz, best known as a guitarist for German rock band Tokio Hotel, in 2019. Over the years Klum has built a reputation as the unfailingly upbeat, slightly over-the-top fashion fairy godmother, even as her kids quietly grew into the very industry that made her famous.
What’s Next
The immediate next chapter is the rollout of “On & Off the Catwalk by Heidi Klum” on ProSieben and Joyn. Expect a press push, more photos of her kids on set, and plenty of conversation about what it looks like when a woman with her own long resume helps launch the next generation.
For Klum herself, the messaging is clear: she is not slowing down, and she is not dimming the lights just because the number next to her age keeps climbing. She’s choosing work she enjoys, a relationship that makes her feel cherished, and a lifestyle built more on movement and fun than punishment and restriction.
Culturally, she’s also joining a wave of model memoirs and documentaries that reframe the ’90s glam years from the women’s point of view – only hers comes with grown kids in the frame, showing how you build a family business without (hopefully) eating your young.
Whether this project turns into a longer franchise or just a two-night peek, it signals where Klum wants to go in this next decade: less mystery, more authorship. She’s not just walking the runway anymore; she’s directing traffic backstage.
How much of Heidi’s world do you actually want to see – the glossy highlights, or would you watch a truly unfiltered version of her family and fashion life?
