Just nine months after the birth of their first child together, German supermodel Heidi Klum and pop singer Seal have announced that they are expecting another addition to their family. This will be Klum's third child and second with husband, Seal.
Seal released a statement on Wednesday which said "It
gives me great joy to announce that Heidi, Leni, Henry
and I are expecting a new addition to our ever increasing
family," according to MSNBC.
The statement went on to say that "We all feel both
excited and fortunate to be able to share this experience
once again."
Heidi Klum, 33, and husband Seal, 43, have already
had one child together. Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu
Samuel was born on September 12, 2005 in Los Angeles.
Before Henry, Heidi Klum had another child, Leni, on
May 4th, 2004, whose father was her former longtime
boyfriend, Italian Formula One racing executive, Flavio
Briatore. Despite the fact that Klum was pregnant with
Leni when she left Briatore to begin dating Seal, E
Online reports that Seal "was by
[Klum's] side when her daughter was born, has always
treated Leni as if she was his own little girl."
The couple, who met and started dating in February
2004, have been enjoying their recent addition to the
family, and are excited to add another. People
quoted Seal from last year, gushing that"What I
love most about fatherhood [is] the opportunity to be
a part of the development process of a new life."
Just two months after Henry was born, Seal dished that
"We try to spend as much time as possible together.
There are days we never get out of our pajamas. We play
with the kids in bed, watch TV, cook, hang out."
People
also quoted the German supermodel as saying "Our
kids are a constant source of amusement."
Heidi Klum has made quite the name for herself in the
celebrity world. Her supermodel stunning-ness landed
her in copies of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
and in the Victoria's Secret catalog. She's
also appeared in film and TV, showing up on Sex and
the City, Spin City, Blow Dry, Ella
Enchanted and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.
Klum struck success with her reality show, Project
Runway, a Bravo program in which fashion
designers compete for the opportunity to show their
fashion line off at a New York Fashion Week. With the
second season of Project Runway set to air July
12th, Klum also managed to host the show, Germany's
Next Top Model, which ran on the ProSieben network.
Between all of commitments, Klum has also worked as
a fashion designer.
As for the other half of the relationship, Seal (born
Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel) made a name
from himself after being the featured vocalist on the
Adamski track, "Killer", back in 1990. Seal would then
release his first album, entitled Seal, which
had the singles "Killer", "Future Love Paradise", and
the well-known track, "Crazy". Seal II would
offer up some of Seal's biggest rewards, with the album,
as well as the single "Kiss From a Rose" winning Grammy
Awards. Recently, rumors have surfaced that Seal may
take the role of Solari in the upcoming James Bond movie,
Casino Royale. Solari is reportedly a South African
criminal and a henchman to the main villain, Le Chiffre.
