Seal and his son, Henry Samuel, enjoyed a special day out together at the 2026 US Open, a Grand Slam tennis tournament held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, New York City. However, all attention was on how strikingly similar the pair looked. 

The hitmaker looked suave in a gray tailored suit that featured a sleek blazer with matching shorts. The look was layered over a crisp white shirt that was left unbuttoned at the top for a casual finish. Meanwhile, Henry wore a black blazer with matching straight-leg pants that was styled with a simple black T-shirt and knitted hat.

The 6ft 3in tall model made his high-fashion debut during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week back in January 2025 when he walked the runway at Lena Erziak's Haute Couture Spring/Summer show. He has since modelled for fashion brand Kith when the label debuted its first show in six years on the streets of New York. He also walked his third show for GCDS during Milan Fashion Week in February.

Henry opened up about how his mom, Heidi Klum, inspired him to go into modeling during an interview with Paper Magazine. "We would always visit her on her set days. And we all were just super interested. She just looked like she was having fun in her sets. And I just wanted that feeling as well," he said.

Heidi shares four kids – Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou – with her ex-husband Seal. The German supermodel was married to the "Kiss from a Rose" hitmaker from 2005 to 2014. Heidi is now married to German guitarist Tom Kaulitz but continues to amicably co-parent with Seal.

Family mediator and parenting specialist, Paige Harley, spoke to us about the emotional landscape of blended families, such as Heidi's. "In my experience, blended families function best when step-parents focus on building connection rather than stepping into an authority role right away or at all," she said. "Kids really don’t need a second 'parent', what they respond to most is a calm, steady adult who helps them feel safe. When there’s tension between homes, that neutral presence can make a huge difference."

Paige also spoke to us about the role of a step-parent, an important role Tom has taken on. "One of the biggest challenges of step-parenting is understanding what your role is – and isn't. You are not a replacement for the child’s parent, you are an additional, supportive adult who can provide guidance, stability, and care when needed. Your role will develop at the child’s pace, not yours, and respecting existing parental bonds is crucial for building trust," she explained.
