‘America’s Got Talent’ Judge Heidi Klum Explains Why She Doesn’t Show Her Kids’ Faces On Social Media

Heidi Klum may be used to being in the limelight as a supermodel, but she doesn’t want the same attention to be given to her children.

During an interview on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Klum admitted that she is a protective parent to her kids. “My oldest daughter is 13 and she wants to post her face and I always say, ‘No, you’re not allowed to.’ Whenever she’s in it, it has to be from the back or having her face concealed somehow. It’s different when we do it – I feel like we’re grownups – but I want to try and keep them children as long as possible,” she said.

On her Instagram account, Klum posted a photo of herself with her four children standing right outside Cinderella’s castle in Disneyland. However, only the “America’s Got Talent” judge’s face is shown. All of her children’s faces were covered with huge smiling emojis. In another post, Klum shared a snap of herself and her children’s backs turned toward the camera.

Meanwhile, Klum shares her four children with her ex-husband, Seal, whom she separated from in 2012 and divorced in 2015. The two will reunite in an upcoming episode of “America’s Got Talent” Season 12, where the singer will act as a guest judge. Klum and Seal’s kids are all minors. Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu is 11, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo is 10 and Lou Sulola is 7, according to People.

According to Klum, her children typically question her when she tells them that they can’t do certain things. But recently, she allowed them to go to sleepaway camp. “My youngest son, after three days, called and said, ‘Mom, come pick me up. I don’t like the food, I don’t like sleeping with so many boys in one room. The water is so murky. I hate it here,’” she shared.

However, Klum decided to not pick up her youngest son since her two other children seemed to be having a good time. “I had to be strong. He was sobbing on the phone. I’m like, ‘Son, you have to stay. You’ll be fine.’ It was harder for me, I think,” she said.
