Heidi Klum Says About Accepting Her Body At 42: ‘I Like That I Have Laugh Lines’

Heidi Klum talks about loving yourself at any age on the November issue of Redbook magazine where she is the month’s cover. She also opens up about her life after her split with ex-husband, Seal.

The 42-year-old model expressed her thoughts about how people should not stress out over looks as one ages. “Would it be nice if my skin and body still look the way it did when I was 25? Sure. But the fact is, your body changes when you have children; you get wrinkles as you get older. I like that I have laugh lines from smiling too much,” the mother of two said, ET Online reported.

Klum, who has her own brand of lingerie, Heidi Klum Intimates, said that jazzing up the underwear makes a lot of difference. She added, “You walk a little differently [in something sexy] versus knowing you wouldn’t want anyone to see you in your underwear. I call those willpower panties. You wear them so you won’t show them to anyone.”

The America’s Got Talent host also opened up about her life after her split with her former husband. Klum and Seal, who got married in May 2005, and share four children, announced that they were separating in January 2012. Two years later in October 2014, the two have finalized their divorce, US Magazine reported.

“Obviously, things have changed, but they haven’t changed drastically. [Seal] was never your typical dad who left for work in the morning with his briefcase and would be home by dinnertime every night.” The model also added that since Seal travels a lot, and their kids know how busy he gets, she plays the roles of both mother and father to their children.

In spite of all this, Klum still describes Seal as a good father, and that she feels no ill will towards her ex-husband’s new flame, Erica Packer. Klum said, “She seems lovely and I wish him all the best.”

Klum, who is very much in love with her boyfriend, Vito Schnabel, stated that the rumors about her getting married is not true, and she doesn’t have any plans of tying the knot.

“I won’t get married again. People always write all these crazy things, but it’s not all true.”
