Heidi Klum shared photos from her daughter Leni's birthday party.

52-year-old model Heidi Klum congratulated her eldest daughter, Leni, on her 22nd birthday and posted photos of her on social media: "Happy birthday, Leni. My first child. 22 years ago today, you were born. I'm so proud of you, Leni, and I love you with all my heart."

In the photo, Heidi and Leni pose in baseball caps printed with Leni's childhood photo. Heidi also posted a video from the party, where Leni makes a wish and blows out the candles.

Currently, Leni, Heidi's daughter with businessman Flavio Briatore, is her most publicly known daughter. The model split from Briatore shortly after announcing her pregnancy, and her father played no role in raising Leni. The girl was later adopted by singer Seal, whom Heidi married in 2005 and with whom she had three children: sons Henry and Johan and daughter Lou. The couple separated in 2012.

Leni rose to fame largely thanks to her photoshoots with her mother for Intimissimi. Back in 2022, Heidi and 18-year-old Leni, having become the faces of the brand, posed in lingerie, which led to criticism. Despite the wave of condemnation, they continued to shoot for the brand, and once even Heidi's then 80-year-old mother, Erna, posed with them. As a reminder, Heidi Klum has been married to Tokio Hotel member Tom Kaulitz, who is 17 years her junior, since February 2019.
