Leni made her professional debut alongside Heidi for the January/February 2021 issue of Vogue Germany.
Heidi - Leni Klum
Leni Olumi Klum was born shortly after Heidi split from Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. She was 5 years old when she was adopted by Heidi’s then-husband, Seal, in December 2009.
Leni grew up primarily in Los Angeles, where she graduated from Pacifica Christian High School in 2022. She is a big sister to Heidi and Seal’s four children together, sons Henry Günther and Johan Riley, and daughter Lou Suloal Samuel.
Klum and Seal co-parent their four children, Henry, Leni, Lou and Johan together.
Heidi and Seal separated in 2012, and the German-American model married Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz in 2019.
Seal adopted Leni in 2009, and while the musician and Heidi divorced in 2014, Seal and Leni have remained close.
The singer showed off their bond in a September 2023 Instagram post, which included a picture of the father-daughter duo smiling together on a N.Y.C. street.
Leni made her modeling debut at 16, posing alongside Heidi in Vogue Germany.
She teamed up with her mom again for an Intimissi lingerie campaign in 2022. Leni’s other major career moves include making her runway debut while opening Berlin Fashion Week in January 2021, walking for Dolce & Gabanna, and starring in campaigns for brands like Dior Beauty and Fila.
Her first solo fashion cover was for Glamour Germany, which honored the 20th anniversary of Heidi becoming the magazine’s first cover start in 2001. Heidi and Leni had individual covers for the April 2022 issue of Harper’s Bazaar Germany, and Leni has also graced the covers of Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan, Hunger, Flaunt and Rollacoaster.
Though she’s trying hard to define an independent career, Leni gets frequent advice from her mom, which she told Extra in 2021 included “always telling me I need to have fun … She’s always like
Heidi’s decades-long well of advice is a good one to source.
Her mom kept her out of the public eye until she was 16
Leni has wanted to model since she was around 12, and she told Vogue Germany that it was “only a matter of time” before she started pursuing it.
Despite the many offers sent Leni’s way, Heidi purposefully made an effort to ensure her daughter’s privacy as she was growing up.
Leni is also very aware of the “nepo baby” label.
Leni moved from Los Angeles to N.Y.C. to both pursue her modeling career and attend college. She began studying interior design, a dream she’s had since she was 14, in August 2022. Heidi told the Today show that Leni is at the school she always wanted to go to.
Though the cross-country move has been nerve-wracking and “worrying” for Heidi, she told PEOPLE that she is “very proud of my daughter and her modeling. And she’s studying at the same time, she’s juggling already.”
Heidi feels good about Leni making her way in the Big Apple, telling Entertainment Tonight, “I started in New York, so she knows New York inside and out because we shot Project Runway there for so many years.”
In a twinning video for Vogue Germany, Leni told her mom, “You’re my best friend because I can tell you everything.” To that end, both frequently praise each other publicly, with Heidi often sharing photos of Leni on Instagram. Leni even shared a photo of herself in “mama’s dress” for her prom night in May 2022.
Heidi has also occasionally shares photos with both Leni and her own mother, Erna. The most recent three-generation selfie came in June 2023, which the America’s Got Talent judge captioned with three heart emojis.
But the one place they differ? Their fashion choices, with Leni telling Extra she is “definitely opposite” of her mom.
“She calls it grungy, I call it oversized I guess … You’ll never catch me in super tight jeans because I don’t like wearing things that are uncomfortable … baggy and big,” Leni said.
She has made red-carpet appearances with Heidi and Seal
As her career grows, Leni has been stepping out at more and more high-profile events, though she’s no stranger to the experience.
Leni has walked a handful of red carpets with her mom since 2021, including the 2022 Harper’s Bazaar ICONS and Bloomingdale’s 150th Anniversary party in N.Y.C., the premiere of Jurassic World: Dominion and the LuisaViaRoma for Unicef event in L.A.
She’s also accompanied her dad Seal to a few events, including the premiere of Netflix’s The Harder They Fall in October 2021 and the Shotgun Wedding premiere in January 2023. The father-daughter duo were also spotted taking in the US Open in September 2022.
She made her debut at her mom’s famous Halloween party in 2022
Heidi is known for throwing over-the-top Halloween bashes, and in 2022, Leni officially made the guest list for the first time.
“My kids have never really gone to the Halloween party, obviously, because they’re all too young,” Heidi told PEOPLE. “And now my daughter moved to Manhattan, so she was here. It’s her first time coming and she was so excited. She’s only ever heard about the stories and seen photos. It’s fun for her to be here tonight and it’s fun for me to have her here!”
Leni dressed as Catwoman for the spooky event, posing for plenty of photos with her mom, who was dressed as a worm.
She has been in a relationship since 2019
Leni has been in a long-term relationship with Aris Rachevsky since 2019.
She marked their three-year anniversary in November 2022 by sharing a photo of the two posing in green wigs. “Our little holiday has finally arrived! FLFLFC i love you,” she wrote on Instagram.
In August 2023, Leni shared a sweet photo from her and Aris’ summer vacation in the South of France, where she could be seen receiving a kiss on the head from her beau.
She has started to design clothing
Leni co-created her own collection for the clothing line About You. She modeled items during the collab’s Fashion Week Milan 2022 show, with her mom and boyfriend supporting her from the front row.
Her second clothing collection with the brand was a spring/summer 2023 collection.
“Everything’s very casual. Comfort is key. A lot of linen. I’m also doing bathing suits. I always have trouble finding bikini tops, because no bikini top brand really fits me perfectly. Which is why I definitely wanted to include a diverse size range in my About You collection,” she told PEOPLE.
She went brunette during her senior year of high school
Though she’s back to blonde, Leni spent most of 2022 as a brunette. But despite what many people thought, she did not go darker to separate herself from her mother.
“I was just so sick of looking the same every single day and I needed a change,” she told PEOPLE. “I was also dyeing my roots every month. And then obviously, from bleaching your hair all the time, your hair gets really dead. So I dyed it brown, it got so much healthier. And then I was like, ‘Okay, well, it’s still dead. I need to chop it.’”
