Leni Olumi Klum (born May 4, 2004) is a German-American fashion model. She is the oldest child of Heidi Klum and an adopted daughter of Seal.




Early life


Leni Olumi Klum was born on May 4, 2004, in New York City, the first of four children born to German-American model Heidi Klum. Klum's father was Italian businessman and managing director of Renault's Formula One team Flavio Briatore; Klum's mother and father separated while her mother was pregnant. Heidi soon began a relationship with British singer Seal, who was present for Leni's birth and adopted her when she was five years old. Briatore was not involved in Leni's upbringing, though she reestablished a relationship with him by 2023.
Klum grew up out of the public eye but became interested in modeling when she was 11 or 12, though her mother did not allow her to model until she turned 16. Raised in Los Angeles, she graduated from Pacifica Christian High School in 2022, and enrolled in college in New York City, studying interior design.




Career


At the end of 2020, Klum made her modeling debut on the January/February 2021 cover of Vogue Germany, appearing alongside her mother wearing colorful synchronized pantsuits. She walked her first runway as the opening model in a digital edition of Berlin Fashion Week at the start of 2021. Klum appeared on her first solo magazine cover in April 2021, wearing a floral dress for Glamour Germany. She then signed with CAA Fashion, later changing her representation to IMG.
Klum appeared on various other magazine covers before turning 20, including Harper's Bazaar Kazakhstan, Hunger, Flaunt, and Rollacoaster, and was in advertising campaigns for brands such as Dior and Fila. Klum and her mother have modeled together in a series of lingerie advertisements for Intimissimi since 2022, which received some criticism. Klum appeared as a guest judge in the semifinals of her mother's show Germany's Next Topmodel in 2022 and returned in the finals in 2023. She amassed more than 800,000 followers on Instagram by 2023.
