Heidi Klum was born on June 1, 1973, in Bergisch-Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Known for years as a leading model, Klum has become a popular television host and a successful businessperson. After later moving to New York, Klum eventually landed work with the lingerie company Victoria’s Secret, which helped raise her profile in the modeling world. Around this time, she married famous hairstylist Ric Pipino. (Their union ended in divorce in 2002.) Soon she appeared on the cover of the 1998Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, an honor coveted by many models. While her hourglass shape was not a fit for the runways, Klum became a fashion favorite, appearing in such magazines as Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire andHarper’s Bazaar.
In 2004, Klum’s life and career moved in a new direction. She was pregnant with her first child by boyfriend Flavio Briatore, an Italian racecar team manager. But the couple split up shortly before the baby was born, and Klum became involved with British singer Seal. On May 4, she gave birth to her daughter Leni.
