Ah, love in the spotlight! Is there anything quite as fascinating—or downright entertaining—as the romantic escapades of a supermodel like Heidi Klum? After an adventurous seven-year trip down the aisle with Seal, Klum decided to embrace the bumpy roads of single life. But fear not, this queen of the catwalk didn’t stay single for long! Just a few years later, she tied the knot again, this time with none other than Tom Kaulitz, the guitarist for Tokio Hotel—who, by the way, is a sprightly 16 years her junior and quickly became the loving stepdad to her four kiddos. Now, one has to wonder: in this whirlwind of celebrity romances, who’s taking notes? Let’s dive into the latest updates on Heidi’s life and, spoiler alert, it’s not just about fabulous gowns and high-profile galas!
Heidi Klum has been divorced and married.
After her seven-year marriage to Seal ended, the beloved model and television personality played the field for years.
She ended up married to Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz in 2019. The 16-years-younger musician even became a stepdad to her four children.
Where do things stand today?
In March of that year, Klum and Kaulitz sparked dating rumors when kissing on the set of America’s Got Talent.
However, they gradually went public through joint public appearances and showing up together on social media. In particular, that May, they attended the Cannes amfAR Gala together.
The two packed on the PDA. In December of 2018, they became engaged after one year of dating.
Like Klum, Kaulitz is from Germany. In fact, his place of birth is East Berlin … because, pretty famously, Germany was once split down the middle.
In May of 2021, Heidi Klum spoke on Jimmy Kimmel Live about how he had gifted her a portion of the now-destroyed Berlin Wall.
One fragment of what was once a monument to division and oppression is now a monument to their shared history — and, one would argue, to their lives. It sits in their garden.
Whether you’re a fan of their Netflix reality show, Kaulitz & Kaulitz, or their podcast, Kaulitz Hills — Mustard from Hollywood, you know that Tom has a twin brother, Bill.
As the name of their podcast might imply, the Kaulitz brothers live nearby, even joining each other for extended family breakfasts sometimes.
And, as we mentioned, they had their own Netflix reality series.
In 2001, at the age of 15, the Kaulitz brothers formed Tokio Hotel, a rock band that has a fair amount of name recognition. (Just not as much as Heidi Klum does)
Kaulitz is the lead guitarist. Bill is the lead singer. There are, in fact, other members of the band, but neither of them are husbands or brothers-in-law to Klum.
Klum is so supportive of her husband’s music career that she loaned him a dress to wear for their music video to remake the song “Monsoon.”
After getting divorced once, Heidi Klum wanted to be sure before she married Tom Kaulitz. And, clearly, she was.
The two married in secret in early 2019, just two months after becoming engaged in December 2018.
It was only in August of 2019 that they held a huge public wedding, complete with a celebration in Capri, Italy (possibly the most beautiful place in the world) with the ceremony on a yacht.
February 2024 marked Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz’s five-year anniversary. Good for them!
