Heidi Klum's Daughter At 17 'Shouldn't Be On The Internet'

Heidi Klum‘s daughter Leni Klum is raising eyebrows as footage of her posing during a beach shoot while still a teenager raises eyebrows. Leni, now 20, was recently featured on an Instagram fan account, with the user reposting a video of her stunning in a black swimsuit. While some rushed to send love, others wondered whether the footage should even be online. Leni, whose celebrity profile has shot up in recent years, began making mainstream headlines in 2022 when she joined 51-year-old mom Heidi in lingerie ads for luxury brand Intimissi.

Scroll for the post, which opened with a still shot. Piercing the camera with her blue eyes, Leni wowed while kneeling on a surfboard. Backed by wet sands and lapping waves, the Dior Beauty ambassador highlighted her fit figure in a chic bathing suit, rocking figure-hugging fabrics, thick straps, and a slightly low neckline.

Looking gorgeous with her blonde locks down, Leni wore a red and diamond jewel crown, sending out pageant tiara vibes while channeling her inner girly side. A swipe right, meanwhile, offered a video version of the shoot as Leni flashed her toned legs and struck poses for the camera.

The remainder of the gallery included more from the shoot, plus fun backyard snaps of Leni tucking into some mint chocolate chip ice cream. In a caption, the user wrote: “Throwback to @leniklum modeling for rollacoaster magazine in September 2021 | 09/24/2021.” Fans quickly commented. Noting the star’s age at the time, one replied: “She was 17 here … and already way more womanly qualities than many women.” Another, however, frowned upon the shoot, writing:

“Exactly, pictures shouldn’t be on the Internet.” A fan replied to the comment with a laughing emoji.

The above photo was circulated earlier this year as Heidi’s daughter joined her mother for a vacation in Sardinia. The beachy break, which also included Heidi’s husband Tom Kaulitz, brought bombshell photos of Leni in her red swimwear, and she definitely proved she’s in with the micro swimwear trend. Photos included Leni solo, but some showed her with long-term boyfriend Aris Rachevsky, who also joined the party.

Heidi and her daughter get to work together for those Intimissi undies shoots, and in this photo, they were hanging out together while in Monaco. “I’m very proud of my daughter and her modeling. And she’s studying at the same time, she’s juggling already,” Heidi told People.

Meanwhile, Leni separately told the outlet: “I’ve always gone to work with my mom and thought, ‘This looks so fun. She looks so happy while she’s working’.”
