He is the son of a famous German supermodel and a British singer.
And on Monday, it was revealed that this 19-year-old nepo baby landed his very first high-fashion magazine cover, as he follows into his mother’s footsteps.
Hunger magazine teased three photos from his upcoming cover story spread, with his mom — who once ruled the Victoria’s Secret runway — happily sharing the news on her Instagram as she gushed that he is ‘destined for greatness.’
The black and white cover sees the budding model — who has three siblings — shirtless, wearing a black Karl Lagerfeld blazer and matching pants.
Another image inside sees him in a more casual look, wearing Lagerfeld jeans and a black t-shirt. A third photo shows him shirtless in a black jacket and pants, posing outdoors.
Can you guess who this nepo baby is?
He is the son of a famous German supermodel and a British singer. And on Monday, it was revealed that this 19-year-old nepo baby landed his very first high-fashion magazine cover. Can you guess who he is?
That’s right, it’s Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, the son of Heidi Klum, 51, and Seal, 62.
Hunger magazine wrote in the caption: ‘Introducing our first ‘Fight Back’ cover star: Henry Samuel (@henrysamle).’
‘Stepping into the spotlight in a big way, Henry made his runway debut opening for Lena Erziak at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Now here’s his first-ever magazine cover, captured by Rankin wearing Karl Lagerfeld for Hunger.’
Heidi proudly took to her Instagram to re-share the cover as she praised her son over his modeling accomplishments.
‘So proud of you, my beautiful Henry! Your first cover for @hungermagazine — what an incredible milestone!’ she wrote.
‘Watching you grow into the amazing young man you are today fills my heart with so much joy. The world is just beginning to see what I’ve always known—you are destined for greatness! ❤️✨ I love you @henrysamle.’
Henry made his runway debut in January as he walked at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show at Hotel le Marois, for Paris Fashion Week in France.
He stole the show, modeling a backless black suit and cape with gold animal pins, going shirtless underneath as to flaunt his lean frame.

His dark down dreadlocks were styled in a chic half-up half-down style as he showed off his thin mustache that exuded elegance.
During his second strut down the star-studded runway, Henry sported the same suit but had a belt-like wrap knotted around his waist with his hands in his pockets.
Right after the show wrapped, the America’s Got Talent judge took to her Instagram page to proudly post a video of her son taking on his first runway like a pro.
‘So proud of you Henry – Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris ❤️❤️❤️ @henrysamle @lena_erziak,’ she penned in the caption.
Henry’s entry into the modelling world drew a strong reaction online.
‘Funny how all these celebrities kids just get stuff handed to them! It’s such a joke! Others have to work for it,’ complained one.
‘All grown up and very handsome,’ gushed another, while a third added, ‘Looks just like his mom and dad!’
A fourth wrote, ‘Beautiful, isn’t he? Sometimes it’s just a matter of what gene you take from each parent. He won the lottery.’
Aside from Henry, Heidi also shares Johan, 18, and Lou, 15, with the Kiss from a Rose singer.
She also has daughter Leni, 20, whom she shares with ex Flavio Briatore, 74.

Though his mom in a runway sensation, Henry previously told Vogue Germany that he had not always been interested in a modeling career and has ‘many interests’; the two seen in 2015
Luckily for Henry, his older sister Leni — who is no stranger to modeling — gave him a few tips before he opened the star studded show.
He told Vogue Germany: ‘Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head. My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun.’
When asked by the outlet if he had been interested in a career in modeling his entire life his response was shockingly no.
‘Not necessarily,’ he expressed. ‘I have many interests — sports, music, film and fashion. I want to use the different creative experiences that are available to me to find the right path for my future.’
After Heidi’s split from Seal, she went on to marry German rocker Tom Kaulitz in 2019.
