German model Heidi Klum resides in the United States. Born on June 1, 1973, in Bergisch Gladbach, she has held dual citizenship in Germany and the US since 2008. Klum serves as the host of the Pro7 series "Germany's Next Topmodel" and "Project Runway." At just 19 years old, while still a student, she took part in a modeling competition named RTL Model '92 in 1992, which led to a three-year contract as a photographic model.

This German model rose to global prominence in 1998 when she graced the cover of the American publication Sports Illustrated. Her achievements went beyond merely posing for bikini shots featured in Sports Illustrated. The following year, Heidi Klum walked for lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, modeling intimate apparel and appeared topless on Vogue magazine’s cover. She also made guest appearances on television shows like "Sex and the City" and "Malcolm in the Middle," along with her role in the fashion-themed film "The Devil Wears Prada." By 2010, her status as a spokesperson had increased significantly, making her one of the highest-earning models globally.

Klum has been hosting ProSieben's modeling competition show "Germany's Next Topmodel" since January 2006; during its first season, she discovered Lena Gercke. Despite receiving multiple offers from Playboy to pose nude for their publication, she repeatedly turned them down. Nonetheless, being an advocate for nude sunbathing has resulted in many photographs capturing her without clothing. Paparazzi worldwide are ever-vigilant to snap revealing images of this German model at any opportunity.

There have been rumors about an alleged sex tape involving Heidi Klum; however, with legal assistance from her lawyers, its release has been thwarted. On a personal note, Klum has experienced two marriages. After separating from celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino and having a relationship with Formula One executive Flavio Briatore—who is father to Klum’s eldest child—her marriage to musician Seal concluded in 2012. Presently, Heidi Klum resides with her children within an upscale villa located in Bel Air.
