Heidi Klum, 53, was observed enjoying a family vacation in St. Barts, embracing the Caribbean sun in a thong bikini. The supermodel was accompanied by her daughter Leni, Leni's boyfriend Aris Rachevsky, and her dog, Fritz.
Klum was seen wading in the ocean waves and appeared to be enjoying her time. Her daughter Leni, a model who has featured in campaigns for Dior and Fila, was also present, along with her boyfriend. Klum's son Henry was also part of the beach day outing.
Recently, Klum shared that her husband, Tom Kaulitz, encouraged her to gain weight, suggesting she looks better with a fuller figure. She told Us Weekly that industry pressures often emphasize skinniness, but she now believes "Proportion-wise, I look better bigger."
Klum expressed no interest in weight-loss drugs, noting that she has gained weight over the years and no longer wears a size 24 jean, adding, "I think with age, we look better than when we're not as skinny."
She also touched on the challenges of maintaining her marriage to Kaulitz due to their demanding schedules. Klum plans to accompany Kaulitz on tour later this year, stating, "He's going to be on tour all of November, and I'm going with him."
In a past interview with People, Klum mentioned undergoing a worm and parasite cleanse with her husband, describing the process as "yucky" but feeling it was beneficial.
