Heidi Klum “getting it done”
Ubermodel Heidi Klum opens up to Life magazine about her busy career and motherhood. The 33-year-old Project Runway host has a 2 1/2 year old daughter, Leni, with ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore and a son, 11-month-old Henry, with husband Seal. Heidi is currently pregnant with her third.
Among the many things you are doing is having babies. You’ve been averaging one child a year for the past three years. So, are you just trying to get it out of the way as quickly as possible?
“[Laughs] It sounds horrible, “getting it done,” but, in a way, yes. My brother and I are 10 years apart, so I never really grew up with siblings. I think it’s beautiful for children to grow up together, because they’ll have each other. [Seal and I] both want that for them. I also feel like you live now, so what are you going to do–work, work, work, and not have a family around you? For me, that is very important. We want to have a lot of children.”
How do you feel about the coverage you’ve received as a mixed-race family?
“-In Germany-and this started with a newspaper headline–they call us “the Patchwork Family.” I was, like, Hmmm, is this an insult or is this positive? I talked to Seal about it, and we’re, like, it’s actually kind of great-we’re all different shades and we came together and we all love each other. They may call it black and white, but I’m not white, I’m a shade of brown and so is our daughter, Leni. She’s the lightest, then it’s me, then it’s our son, and then it’s Seal. So I think, hey, it’s actually kind of nice to have a patchwork family.”
