Fashion Model Heidi Klum Changes Last Name to Samuel


Heidi Klum biography :

Heidi Klum has been a regular model for Victoria's Secret since 1997 and for Sports Illustrated since 1998. She has appeared in a number of movies and television shows, and in 2004, she began hosting her own show, fashion Project Runway. Heidi is the epitome of what it means to be a supermodel; that's probably why she has become one of the most recognizable and highest-paid models in the world.

German supermodel Heidi Klum, who is recognized on the catwalk, in campaigns and on television for the last 10 years, has changed her last name. The 36-year-old decided to take the surname of her musician husband Seal, whose full name is Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel. She will now become Heidi Klum Samuel.

Heidi’s reason behind the name change is because she thinks the name Heidi Klum is too German for America. This is kind of a weird reason, as she will keep the name Klum for work, like when hosting reality show “Project Runway”. However, she noted that she filed the paperwork for the name change already with a court in Los Angeles.

A super model Heidi and Seal got married on a Mexican beach in 2005 and have had two sons together. Currently she is pregnant with her fourth child, which is her third with Seal, and she is due any time now. There were even rumors that she was in labor this week, but those turned out to be a false alarm. She also has a 5-year-old daughter, Helene (aka Leni), from her previous relationship with Flavio Briatore.

It’s so great to see model celebrity marriages work out like this one has, as they seem to have the hardest time making them work with all the pressure from media. Also recently, Sarah Michelle Gellar took her husband Freddie Prinze Jr.’s surname, becoming Sarah Michelle Prinze.

Meanwhile, fans of fashion “Project Runway” continue to tune in to the show, which was taped earlier this year. In the most recent episode, Irina Shabayeva won the chance to design a holiday dress for International Concepts, which will be sold for $139 on macy’s.com. Plus, Louise Black was cut from the competition.
