Many jobs and personal happiness: Heidi Klum’s strong year 2025
While some women in show business complain about hardly receiving any jobs after a certain age, this certainly doesn’t apply to Heidi Klum (52). On the contrary: With each passing year, the powerhouse from Bergisch-Gladbach seems to become even more successful and omnipresent. In 2025, too, hardly a day went by without new Heidi news – from sensational appearances at events to the anniversary season of “Germany’s next Topmodel”, her comeback on “Project Runway” and her new show “HeidiFest”. And 2026 will likely continue in a similar vein.
“We are very much in demand”
“The biggest misconception about life in your fifties is that you’re no longer in demand. That’s not true”, Heidi Klum clarified in July in an interview with the US magazine “People”. “We are very much in demand, anyone can see that.” And yes, it’s impossible to miss. Wherever the 52-year-old appears, she’s guaranteed to be an eye-catcher. Whether at Fashion Week in Paris or at the film festival in Venice – Klum draws all eyes to her.
Her decades of work in the spotlight was once again honored with several awards in the past year. On November 13, she received a Bambi, Germany’s most important media award, in the Entertainment category. It’s already her third golden deer. She previously received the award in 2003 and 2015 in the Fashion category. Just one day later, she traveled from Munich to Berlin, where she was honored as “Global Icon” at the “Glamour Women of the Year Awards” ceremony.
From Film Set to Soccer Draw
You almost had the feeling that Klum was involved in everything in 2025. She cheered at Tokio Hotel’s anniversary concert in Berlin in August, was spotted on the set of “Der Teufel trägt Prada 2” in New York in the same month, appeared in the second season of “Kaulitz & Kaulitz”, was present as a multiple-time advertising face, and even hosted the final round draw for the 2026 Soccer World Cup in Washington in December.
She celebrated an anniversary with her casting show “Germany’s next Topmodel”. For the 20th season, she was even allowed to air twice weekly on ProSieben at the beginning. In October, speculation about her Halloween costume once again dominated the headlines – and the costume enthusiast didn’t disappoint again. She came as a terrifying Medusa who turned “warriors” and husband Tom Kaulitz (36) to stone.
Heidi Klum and Her Clan
Speaking of husband: In 2025, too, there were many lovebird appearances with her spouse Tom Kaulitz and various public declarations of love. With her family, she naturally also celebrated Thanksgiving lavishly in her villa in Los Angeles. So everything’s great in her private life too, as she likes to show. This also includes: Her children are following in the footsteps of their successful mother one by one.
Daughter Leni (21) has long since established herself in the modeling business and beamed into the cameras at numerous events together with her this year as well. Now the second Klum offspring Henry Samuel (20) has also taken off. In January, he made his runway debut in Paris, then landed cover shoots and a modeling contract. He just stood in front of the photo camera together with his mom for the first time. The two grace the cover of the German “Elle” in January 2026.
Present on TV Multiple Times Again in 2026
We’ll surely hear, see and read a lot about Klum and her kids next year as well. It’s already confirmed that the mother of four will also be part of the 22nd season of her US show “Project Runway”. “GNTM” is going into its 21st round. And after “HeidiFest”, which she presented in September from the Hofbräuhaus in Munich with many stars, ProSieben is planning more airtime: In spring, the new family documentary “On & Off the Catwalk – by Heidi Klum” is scheduled to air in prime time over two evenings.
