At the beginning of the year, Heidi Klum and Seal’s son, Henry Samuel, made his runway debut in the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week. Now, the teen is marking another fashion milestone with his very first magazine cover and his mother is celebrating!

The former supermodel and Germany’s Next Topmodel host and judge shared a post of the cover of Henry’s magazine on social media. She began her caption of the post, “So proud of you, my beautiful Henry!”

“Your first cover for @hungermagazine — what an incredible milestone! Watching you grow into the amazing young man you are today fills my heart with so much joy. The world is just beginning to see what I’ve always known—you are destined for greatness! I love you @henrysamle.”

After his debut on the runway, Henry spoke to Vogue Germany about his ambitions and plans for his career in the modeling world and beyond. The 19-year-old college student also shared some sage advice from his older sister, Leni, who is also a professional model a well. 

“I have many interests — sports, music, film, and fashion,” he told the outlet in his interview. “I want to use the various creative experiences available to me to find the right path for my future.”

In terms of the advice from Leni, the teen said: Henry responded: “Leni told me to keep my gaze straight ahead and walk as if I were balancing a book on my head. My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun.”

Henry and Leni are two of four children that Klum and Seal share. Henry told Vogue that his younger two siblings, Johan and Lou, “inspire” him and that he “admire[s]” their “hard work”.

“I admire the hard work they put into their success every day. Their creativity inspires me, and they have always encouraged my siblings and me to pursue our own artistic interests.”

However, even though Henry is quickly becoming the new face of fashion, he says that he is just like any other teenager.

“I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend Kayla and meet up with friends. I’m also interested in gaming,” he told Vogue. “I enjoy playing FIFA or GTA and watching movies. I love courtroom dramas. I recently watched A Few Good Men for the first time. In my free time, I play guitar and enjoy driving around Los Angeles.”

We echo Klum’s congratulations on Henry’s first cover! We cannot wait to see more of the covers to come and definitely more of him on the runway.m
