In a recent social media post, Heidi Klum offered a fascinating glimpse into the similarities between herself and her daughter, Leni Klum, by sharing a throwback photo that underscores their striking resemblance.
Heidi, now 50, took to her platform to post an image from her early days as a rising star, juxtaposing it against the burgeoning modeling career of her daughter, Leni, 19.
The throwback photo showcased the America’s Got Talen judge in a simple yet captivating ensemble: a white tank top paired with blue denim jeans and a snakeskin belt, her hair flowing freely.

Leni’s candidness about her acne struggles, shared with her 1.9 million Instagram followers through makeup-free selfies, has been a powerful statement on self-acceptance and the pressures of beauty standards.
“I feel like there is a thought behind having acne that you’re not beautiful with it or it makes you look not as good as you could look,” Leni expressed in an interview with People.

Her efforts to normalize acne and encourage a more inclusive definition of beauty resonate with many young people facing similar challenges.
Beyond modeling and public life, Heidi and Leni share moments of humor and humanity, such as Leni’s revelation about discovering Heidi’s “sex closet” and the family’s casual approach to nudity and body positivity at home.
“I was going through it with my friends. And I was like, “Mom, what is this? A microphone?” I really had no idea what it was. My mom got so mad at me after, like, “You can’t go in my stuff!”‘ Leni recalled on an episode of Call Her Daddy.

“I was like showing it off to my friends like, “Look at how cool this is. My mom has a whole cupboard, she has a whole drawer.” And I snuck them into my mom’s room and opened the drawer, and we were all taking videos.”
“’I would have birthday parties at the house. Or I’d have friends over, like my boyfriend over. And she tans topless by the pool,” Leni revealed.
“And I remember having my girlfriends over and I’d be so embarrassed and like, scared, because usually in like my friend’s families, I never see my friend’s moms tanning naked at the pool. But I thought it was normal. And my friends would always be like, kinda stand off-ish but it was so normal in our family.”
