Leni Klum, 16-year-old daughter of model and presenter Heidi Klum, is following in her mother's footsteps.
She makes her model debut in the January / February issue of German Vogue.
Mother and daughter can be seen together on the cover and in a fashion spread.
Both were produced in Los Angeles.
The 16-year-old wrote on Instagram on Thursday evening that she was so excited about her first cover picture (“so excited for my first cover”).
You couldn't imagine a better start as a model.
In an interview with the magazine, she does not rule out a TV show "Germany's Next Top Model by Leni Klum".
“I can imagine that.
But I'm going to use the next few years to gain experience, «says the teenager.
"And if at some point my mother doesn't feel like doing it anymore, then I'm very happy to jump in." In 2021, the 16th season of Heidi Klum's ProSieben casting show is to be broadcast.
Heidi Klum says in the “Vogue” interview: “I think it will take a while before I manage to stop holding my protective hand over Leni.
It's her career, she's supposed to make her decisions, but I'll be her mother forever. ”That's why she has to let her go if she“ interferes from time to time ”.
So far, Klum had only covered up their children or shown them with a mask.
Last week, the 47-year-old had brought her daughter into play as a possible successor for her casting show.
Klum wrote on Instagram on Thursday evening that she was proud of her child.
“I know being my daughter isn't 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. "
Leni Klum was born on May 4, 2004 in New York City.
Her biological father is the former Formula 1 team boss Flavio Briatore.
After the relationship with Briatore, Heidi Klum met her former husband Seal, with whom she was married until 2014.
In 2009 Seal adopted five-year-old Leni with the consent of her birth father.
Briatore calls Leni's model plans “a great thing” in the current “gala”.
Heidi Klum, who comes from Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne, has been married to Tokio Hotel musician Tom Kaulitz since 2019.
Klum lives with her family in the United States most of the time.
