Project Runway star Heidi Klum covers the November issue of Redbook and opens up about being a single mom to her four children: daughters Leni, 11, and Lou, 6, and sons Henry, 10, and Johan, 8.
On multitasking: “Women are capable of juggling a lot of balls—we do things that guys just cannot do. Men typically can juggle only one ball, and even then they’re like, ‘I’m confused. Should I put it in my right or left hand?’ A lot of them have a very hard time just trying to figure out what to do with that one ball. And often they want us to hold that one, too!”
On being a single mom: “Obviously things have changed, but they haven’t changed drastically. [Seal] was never your typical dad who left for work in the morning with his briefcase and would be home by dinnertime every night. He traveled a lot. The kids knew it was part of his job. I’m a mom and a dad at the same time.”
On how her body has changed after 4 kids: “Would it be nice if my skin and body still looked the way it did when I was 25? Sure. But the fact is, your body changes when you have children; you get wrinkles as you get older. I like that I have laugh lines from smiling too much.”
