Heidi Klum’s mini-me daughter Leni, 18, jokes she is ‘a little past sun kissed’ as she bares a MASSIVE sunburn all over her body
Heidi Klum’s mini-me daughter Leni Klum proved the importance of wearing sunblock on her Instagram page this week.
Leni, 18, posted a selfie of herself lying on a deck chair and wearing a bikini, thereby showing off her massive sunburn.
Making sure to retain her sense of humor about the situation, the fashion legacy quipped in the caption that she was ‘a little past sun kissed.’

The teen model was recently spotted enjoying a lunch out in Beverly Hills with her adopted father Seal, who is Heidi’s ex-husband.
Heidi and Seal were married from 2005 until 2014 and they welcomed three children together biologically: Henry, 16; Johan, 15; and Lou, 12.
Meanwhile Leni resulted from Heidi’s previous relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, but in 2009 Seal legally adopted her as well.
‘Leni is my natural daughter, but 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,’ Flavio told the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera in 2016.

Flavio, 72, who eventually married a drastically younger Wonderbra model and welcomed a son named Nathan with her, added: ‘Leni is Seal’s family, Nathan mine.’
At the moment Heidi is married to her fellow German Tom Kaulitz, who rose to fame as the guitarist for the band Tokio Hotel.
Seal hit the headlines last year when he spoke candidly in public about the difficulties of co-parenting his children with Heidi.
‘It can be challenging. It requires teamwork. If you are a team, if both parents are a team, then it’s really easy and that’s not a real challenge at all… But you have to be a team. And if you’re not a team, then it can all fall to pieces,’ he told Us Weekly.

Seal then explosively claimed that he and Heidi ‘never had that teamwork’ with one another when it came to bringing up their children.
Their differences hit the headlines in 2020 when she wanted to take the children to her native country so she could film Germany’s Next Top Model there.
Seal objected on the grounds that the children might be exposed to coronavirus, but an emergency court hearing was held and Heidi prevailed.

Although she was permitted to take them to Germany he was given ‘expanded time’ with them before and after the trip.
Leni has followed her mother’s footsteps into the modeling profession and just last week could be spotted on the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk in Sicily.
Heidi was seated supportively in the audience, filming her daughter’s appearance to post proudly to her Instagram page.
