Watch: Heidi Klum Praises 19-Year-Old Son Henry as He Makes His Runway Debut

Heidi Klum’s son is following her footsteps down the runway.

The America’s Got Talent judge’s 19-year-old son Henry Samuel made his runway debut at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 Show during Paris Fashion Week on Jan. 28. Making the occasion even more special, Heidi’s son—whom she shares with ex-husband Seal—opened the presentation.

The Project Runway host couldn’t help but gush about Henry’s big moment in an Instagram post on Jan. 28, featuring a video of him hitting the catwalk in an all-black structured suit with a cutout in the back.

“So proud of you Henry,” the 51-year-old wrote. “Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris  @henrysamle @lena_erziak.”

Heidi—who is also the mother of Lena, 20, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15—shared a series of videos on her Instagram Story from Henry’s fashion show. Sharing insight into his fashion week debut once more, the former model wrote, “It was so unexpected. He did so good.”

And while this was his first time walking in a fashion show, Henry still had tips for the runway.

“For walking the runway,” he said during the backstage interview with Vogue Germany posted Jan. 29, “I guess not being like the turtle and keeping my posture up and straightening my back. And looking forward.”

Heidi’s children are no stranger to a glam moment with their mother. In fact, Heidi’s look-a-like daughter Lena joined her at the Vanity Fair Golden Globes party on Jan. 4.

Heidi—who is married to Tom Kaulitz—previously shared what her children are teaching her as they get older.

"To be even more patient," the Project Runway host told E! News in September 2023. “To have even more patience than I had before. It's hard because when they're all driving around in their cars and you're constantly looking at the clock, 'When are they coming back?' It's nerve-wracking when they've become grownups and they just go off."
