Heidi Klum: Four kids are enough8:08 am / Aug 20th, 2009
Heidi Klum and Seal are waving the white flag.
The supermodel, 36, and her 46-year-old soul-singing husband are expecting their fourth child in October, and Klum says emphatically that it’ll be their last.
“We’re outnumbered,” Klum says with a giggle from her dressing room before an appearance on The Tonight Show. “Four is perfect. Three is a lot. But four? It’s a lot of work. We’re hands-on, and we feel like this is what we can handle.”
Their children, 5-year-old daughter Leni and sons Henry, 3, and Johan, 2, are excited for their baby sister’s arrival; she’ll be able to help with the takeover, Klum jokes.
“Actually, they’ve taken over already. I’m not someone who is like, ‘OK, this is a museum, and you can’t sit here and you can’t touch this and everything has to be put in its place.’ They live there as much as we do,” she says. “You come into our house, and there is a giant elephant and lion to welcome you. We have those big stuffed animals, and we have toys and things everywhere.”
Klum stayed home with the kids this summer while her husband spent June and July touring Europe.
“Someone always has to be the captain of the ship. I’m definitely the organizer of who is doing what. What are we eating, where are we going, what’s the plan for the day; making sure everything runs smoothly,” she says, sitting in a makeup chair getting touch-ups.
“You know, I would have been a very good event planner. Or a personal assistant.”
For now, though, her focus is settling on a name for her newborn.
“Because we know it’s going to be our last baby, it’s way harder. We’ve never had this back and forth before,” she says. “Before it was like, ‘This is the name and that’s that.’ We’re going to wait until we see the baby and hopefully the light bulb will come on and then it’ll be like, ding-ding-ding!”
