Heidi Klum (born June 1, 1973) is a German supermodel, actress, TV presenter, fashion designer, television producer and singer.

She's 34!

Born in Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany, Heidi Klum became famous after winning a televised modeling contest in Germany at age 18. After finishing school, she accepted the modeling contract she won and worked as a model throughout Europe briefly before moving to the United States.

She lived in Miami, Florida with little success acquiring modeling jobs before moving to New York City. She acquired world-wide fame after signing a contract with Victoria's Secret and appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1998.

Since then, she has appeared in many well-known fashion magazines, had several small acting roles in TV shows and movies, and produced and hosted two reality shows of her own: Project Runway and Germany's Next Topmodel. She co-authored a book with Alexandra Postman entitled Body of Knowledge: Eight Rules of Model Behavior, which gives her biography, advice on how to be successful, and many of her favorite pictures.

Personal Life:

Klum married celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino on September 6, 1997. The couple divorced in November 2002. Following the divorce she had brief relationships with Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis and Formula One manager Flavio Briatore.

In the Autumn of 2003 she became pregnant with Flavio Briatore's child. On the day Klum announced the pregnancy, Briatore was photographed kissing Fiona Swarovski, a jewelery heiress. Klum and Briatore split up shortly thereafter. On May 4, 2004, she gave birth to a daughter, Helene "Leni" Klum, who was named after Klum's grandmother.

Around the same time of the birth, Heidi began a relationship with British musician Seal. Klum and Seal married May 10, 2005, on a beach in Mexico. They have had two children together, both sons: Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, born September 12, 2005 and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel born November 22, 2006. Seal has treated Heidi's first daughter as his own child.

A Bit of Trivia:

Klum has jokingly named her breasts Hans and Franz, in reference to her German heritage.
