Heidi Klum’s 16-year-old daughter Leni follows in her famous supermodel mom’s footsteps with first Vogue cover
She’s taking a big step in her career.
And Heidi Klum was beaming with pride alongside her 16-year-old daughter Leni as they joined forces to land her first Vogue cover.
The 47-year-old supermodel kissed her eldest child on the German cover before gushing about her pride for her ‘self-confident young woman’ on Instagram.

‘I’m so proud of you. And not because you chose this path. I know that no matter which way you go, it will be your own,’ she wrote in German on social media.
‘You always know exactly what you want and what you don’t want. You are not a mini-me. And I’m happy for you that you can now show who YOU are.’
Leni rocked bright pink trousers and a royal blue blazer to match her mother’s color-blocked combination.

‘I know that being my daughter is not always easy. You never had the opportunity to grow up “normally”. But what is normal? Growing up with three different daddies probably won’t either,’ she added.
Leni’s biological father is businessman Flavio Briatore, but she was adopted by Heidi’s second husband, Seal, when the couple were married. Klum remarried nearly two years ago to Tokio Hotel musician Tom Kaulitz, 31.
‘But you have the talent to get the best out of everything. And I would say: none of it harmed you – on the contrary: you are a self-confident young woman who fights for her goals,’ she said. ‘And even more important: you are a really great person with your heart in the right place.’

‘And even if you often don’t want to hear your mom’s clever advice, here’s another one: never do something you don’t want to do and always listen to your gut instinct’
‘I hope that no matter where you are, you always carry what I have given you over the past 16 years. For the big decisions in life, but also for the very little ones,’ she wrote.

‘I am sure that an exciting time is waiting for you. Vogue is the best way to start the career you dream of. And even if it is a little difficult for me to let go of you into this world, I will always do everything so that you are happy and that your dreams come true. I am proud to be your mom!’
