Heidi Klum enjoyed a happy reunion with her ex-husband Seal in mid–June as they came together to celebrate their second eldest son.
Pictures taken during Johan's high school graduation showed the German model and the singer keeping a close hand on each other, with Seal placing a protective hand on Heidi's neck. They had an intense conversation and hugged several times outside their son's graduation in downtown Los Angeles.

The pair have co-parented amicably, but are rarely-seen together; they both joined their blended families in 2024 for their eldest son Henry's graduation.

In 2020 they also clashed over Heidi's wishes to take her Germany with her to film Next Top Model in 2002 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The emergency hearing saw Heidi claims that her ex-husband's "with our children is sporadic at best," and Leni also wrote a letter, on behalf of her siblings, that told the judge they wanted to travel with their mom.

One video showed the 18-year-old proudly receiving his honor, dressed in his school’s blue graduation robes and cap layered over a crisp white shirt and smart tie.
Another picture showed mom Heidi affectionately planting a kiss on Johan’s cheek as he smiled, while a second featured Johan's proud older brother Henry also posing for the camera alongside their mom.

Both Leni and Henry have followed their mom into the modeling industry. Leni, 21, was first approached by a modeling scout at the age of 12, however, her mom would not allow her to sign until she was 16, making her debut alongside her mom for Vogue Germany.

Henry, 20, made his high-fashion debut during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in January, parading down the runway at Lena Erziak's Haute Couture Spring/Summer show.
"He lives in his own world," Heidi told Good Housekeeping of her son.
"We went to dinner all dressed properly [and Henry wore dinosaur slippers]. You can barely walk in those things, but for him, it's not weird at all."
Their youngest is daughter Lou, 16, who is an avid dancer. In 2021, the German supermodel shared a video of Lou performing a lively hip-hop routine alongside famous choreographer Miguel Zárate.
