When Seal recently shared an old photo of himself on social media, the overwhelming consensus was clear: his sons are his spitting image. 

This ignited conversation about the striking resemblance and, fittingly, Heidi Klum, the boys' mom, has previously weighed in with her candid views about their resemblance to their father.

During the New York premiere of House of Z, Heidi, with her signature blend of humor and candor, mentioned:  “My boys are very sexy.” She quickly added with a chuckle, “They’re very young, and I probably shouldn’t say that, but they are.”

To provide some context, Heidi and her former husband Seal, besides sharing moments on America's Got Talent, are parents to two sons: Henry, 18, and Johan, 16

Elaborating on her sons' growth, Heidi observed, “My boys are notably tall and thin. They truly have remarkable physiques.” 

She jokingly hinted at a potential challenge she might face in the future, saying she expects to have to "fend off the ladies." “I foresee a queue forming around my house," she amusingly added.

Dwelling further on the uncanny resemblance, she mentioned that Henry especially reminds her so much of Seal. 

"He's the mirror image of his father," she stated. "Not just the looks; even that characteristic little gap in his teeth. And let's be honest, Seal is quite the handsome man.”

On the other hand, Johan brings forth a different aura. Heidi mused: "Johan has the bearing of a European soccer player, with his enchanting mixed skin, his sweet nature, and those beautiful, prominent lips." 

She further gushed about his thick and wild hair, adding, “Among my children, he truly has the most captivating hair.”

Meanwhile, Seal, ever the Kiss From A Rose maestro, shared insights about his children in a recent interview on GMA3. 

Despite the visual similarities, he confessed a vast difference in their aspirations and tastes. None of his children plan on pursuing a career in singing, and they apparently don’t even list their father's music among their favorites!

Currently, Seal is spreading his enchanting melodies on a worldwide tour, journeying through the US, Canada, and soon gracing the stages in Denmark, Spain, and Monaco. 

The tour's been a riveting experience for him, and he frequently offers glimpses of his live performances, sharing the tour's highlights on social media for fans worldwide.

Parallelly, Heidi, always supportive and involved in her close circle's endeavors, is prepping to back her spouse, Tom Kaulitz, the virtuoso guitarist of Tokio Hotel. As Tom embarks on the band's European journey, fans await behind-the-scenes anecdotes and memories from the vibrant model and entrepreneur.
