Henry Samuel is taking the next step in his modeling journey. The son of Heidi Klum and Seal has officially signed with NEXT Management, launching his professional career in the fashion industry.

“I’ve grown up around fashion and entertainment, but stepping into this world myself is a whole new experience,” Samuel said in a press release. I’m grateful to Next Management for this opportunity and excited to learn, grow, and find my own voice in the industry.”

Josh Otten, U.S. Director of Talent at NEXT Management, shared what makes Henry stand out.

“Henry brings a unique presence and creative energy that feels fresh and entirely his own,” Otten added. “He’s entering the industry to forge his own path, and at NEXT, we’re committed to supporting him through a 360-degree strategy that spans fashion, entertainment, and cultural relevance.”

Samuel made his runway debut earlier this year at the Lena Erziak show during Paris Haute Couture Week. In March, he landed his first magazine cover with Hunger Magazine.

Klum proudly marked the moment on social media, saying, “So proud of you, my beautiful Henry! Your first cover for @hungermagazine — what an incredible milestone!”

She continued, “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.”
