There’s a new model in the Klum family.
On Tuesday, Heidi Klum’s son Henry Samuel, 19, made his runway debut at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture spring 2025 show.
He hit the catwalk at Paris’ Hotel le Marois in two black suits, with the first featuring an open back and a long piece of knotted fabric around the waist, while the second was paired with a gigantic scarf.
While it doesn’t appear that Heidi was in attendance in person, the longtime model, 51, who shares Samuel with ex-husband Seal, took to Instagram to show her support.
“So proud of you Henry – Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris ❤️❤️❤️ @henrysamle @lena_erziak,” Klum captioned a clip of her son strutting down the runway.
Samuel chatted with Vogue Germany about his first foray into the modeling world.
“I’m more excited than nervous. I’m going to do my best and try to enjoy every moment to the fullest!” he said prior to the show.
He also revealed that his famous mom and sister, Leni Klum, 20 — who made her runway debut at Berlin Fashion Week in 2021 — offered him some tips beforehand.
“Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head,” Samuel told Vogue Germany. “My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun.”
The college freshman added, “My mother often reminds me to pay attention to my posture, so I try to heed her advice.”
When asked if he always dreamt of following in his mother’s modeling footsteps, he responded, “Not necessarily.”
“I have many interests – sports, music, film and fashion. I want to use the different creative experiences that are available to me to find the right path for my future,” he added.
In Nov., the “American’s Got Talent” host visited her eldest son at school and documented the “family time” on her Instagram, with photos in his dorm room and some of the meals they ate.
Meanwhile, last June, Klum shared a video from Samuel’s high school graduation.
She captioned the celebratory post, “CONGRATULATIONS HENRY We are all sooo proud of you ❤️ You did it my beautiful boy. College here we come 🥳🎉 SHINE BRIGHT ❤️”
Klum also shares son Johan, 18, and daughter Lou, 15, with her ex-husband while Leni’s biological father is Flavio Briatore, though Seal adopted her.
Leni and her mother have often modeled together both on magazine covers and in lingerie ads — we can’t wait to see if Henry joins in on the family business.
