Heidi Klum reunites with ex for incredible weekend with model daughter Leni

Publish date: 2024-05-26

Heidi Klum had a blast over the Memorial Day weekend with her model daughter, Leni, in tow. 

The America's Got Talent host shared some spectacular photos of their time at the Monaco Grand Prix - and they were joined by some unexpected guests.

Heidi took to Instagram stories with an array of images showing her and Leni living their best life at the racing event. 

Included in the selection were several photos of Heidi, Leni and the 20-year-old's half brother, Nathan Falco.

And then, Nathan and Leni's biological father, Flavio Briatore, made an appearance too.

They all played happy families, with Flavio's ex, Italian model and TV personality Elisabetta Gregoraci - Nathan's mom - stopping by for the fun as well. 

There appeared to be no tension between the former Formula One boss and his exes, in fact they looked like the best of friends. 

Leni was adopted by Heidi's now ex Seal when she was just five years old after coming to a mutual agreement, and when quizzed about his biological daughter in 2016, Flavio famously said, "it's hard to miss a baby you never see".

But they appear to have built bridges and have a relationship now. 

Leni, now a successful model, grew up in LA while Flavio was based in London. TMZ first reported in 2018 that Leni and Flavio had reconnected with the help of her parents.

Heidi and Flavio began dating in March 2003, but they split shortly after she announced her pregnancy in December of that year.

When Heidi welcomed her firstborn Leni in May 2004, she was loved up with musician Seal. The Kiss From a Rose singer went on to officially adopt Leni when she was five years old and her name was legally changed to Helene Samuel.

Heidi and Seal went on to have children Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14.

Speaking of the decision to let Seal and Heidi raise Leni, Flavio told Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera: "The three of us calmly agreed that it made the most sense that he adopt her, because a child needs to grow up in a family."

He also made clear that he had tried to stay in touch with Leni, despite the "unbridgeable" distance, revealing they used to speak on the phone daily.

"We used to speak on the phone two hours a day," he added: "But it wasn't enough. She needed to stay with her mum."
