Johan Samuel (real name: Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel) is the second son and the third child of Heidi Klum. The former Victoria’s Secret model shares him with her ex-musician husband spouse, Seal.
Johan Samuel was born on November 22, 2006. The couple announced the news in a post written by Seal on Klum’s website. “He is healthy, beautiful and looks just like his mother,” the “Kiss from a Rose” singer wrote of his son. The proud father continued, “To our children, a brother/ To our parents, a grandson/ To my wife and I, a son/ To our family, a blessing.”
When he was little, Johan was very artistic and loved to draw and paint. In 2013, his drawings and creativity served as the inspiration behind Klum’s children’s clothing line. “While the other kids are watching a movie, he’ll sit down at his desk for 45 minutes and paint monsters one after another,” she told Parents magazine of the then-6-year-old. “So he inspired me to create a line around monsters. Johan’s very proud he was a part of it. Sometimes he wears his shirt and tells everyone, ‘I painted this shirt!’ “
Lou Samuel, 13
Lou Samuel (real name: Lou Sulola Samuel) is the fourth child of Heidi Klum but the third she shares with her ex-husband, Seal.
Lou Samuel was born on October 9, 2009, in L.A.
In a 2021 interview, Klum shared that her younger daughter is the only one of her kids who seems to have inherited her love of Halloween. The America’s Got Talent judge is known for her huge Halloween parties and epic costumes, and she was hoping to pass the tradition on to her kids. However, most of her kids “couldn’t care less” about the holiday.
