Yahoo Lifestyle Heidi Klum Is One Proud Mom as Teen Son Henry Follows in Her Footsteps With His Runway Debut
Heidi Klum's son is following in her fashionable footsteps—and she couldn't be more proud.
The supermodel took to Instagram on Tuesday, Jan. 28, to share a video of her 19-year-old son, Henry Samuel, making his runway debut at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show at Hotel le Marois in Paris.
In the clip, the teen wore a black suit with an open back and a black satin sash tied around his waist as he walked down the runway, stopping to turn for the cameras.
"So proud of you Henry - Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris ❤️❤️❤️ @henrysamle @lena_erziak," Klum wrote in her caption.

In addition to Henry, Klum shares Johan, 18, and Lou, 15, with her ex-husband, Seal. She also shares a 20-year-old daughter, Leni, with her ex, Flavio Briatore.
Henry opened up to Vogue Germany about the advice he was given ahead of his first runway gig from his mom and sister, Leni, also a model.
"Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head. My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun," Henry said, adding that he's "not necessarily" planning to focus on modeling in the future.
"I have many interests—sports, music, film and fashion," he said. "I want to use the different creative experiences that are available to me to find the right path for my future."
Henry also praised his mother and father for inspiring him to follow his dreams.
"I admire the hard work they put into their success every day," the teen said. "Their creativity inspires me, and they have always encouraged my siblings and me to pursue our own artistic interests."
In 2023, Klum spoke to E! News about Leni's modeling career and why she's keeping an open mind.
"Who knows if this is something she'll always even want to do forever," the mother of four pointed out. "She's studying because she wants to do interior design, and she's doing this right now. She's only 19 years old, you know? So, who knows what all the things are that she will do."
