Heidi Klum admits daughter, 16, wants to be a model after keeping her out public

Heidi Klum confessed her daughter Leni wants to follow in her starry footsteps.

The American showbiz super star revealed her daughter wants to chase her dreams of becoming a model.

Always Heidi felt her daughter was “too young” to be in the bright spotlight but the mum said she can model if she wants to because she’s “old enough now” she’s 16.

“She’s old enough now,” she told PEOPLE.

“I always thought she was too young. We always also decided to keep the children out of the public eye.

“But she’s driving a car now, she’s 16, so I figured if you can do that, you can also model now if this is what you wish to do.”

Often her daughter hangs out with her mum on the TV set for Germany’s Next Top Model which she hosts.

Proudly, the mum shared her daughter wanted to follow in her footsteps as a model.

“She kind of comes [on set] and looks and learns not just what I do but also what all the different people are doing on a TV set. I think it’s very interesting to her,” she added.

“When you’re that age you’re still trying to figure out who you are, what you want to be and kind of see for the first time what are all these different jobs to make a TV show happen. She does want to do what I do.”

Heidi has four children – Leni, Lou, Henry and Johan.

The bombshell made history as she was the first German model to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel.
