Knocked Up Celebs

When a couple with kids decides to divorce, one of the biggest questions they face is “How do we talk to the kids about this?” (And if you’ve ever had that conversation with your children, you know how much it sucks.) Heidi Klum and Seal, who just announced their plans to divorce, are no exception. Seal recently shared with Access Hollywood how they let their kids know about their split.

“We talk to them, we try to explain as best we could what is going on.  [We're] just explaining to them that things will be different, you know, without going into too much detail. Things will be different.”

Seal, who has four children with Klum – Leni (7), Henry (6), Johan (5) and Lou (2) – says one important thing won’t change, though:  the love the kids get from their parents.

“The main thing is to make sure that they feel that they’re loved. Make sure they understand that their parents love each other [and] … it has absolutely nothing to do with them.”

The couple were married for seven years.

It was a girls’ day out in Brentwood for Heidi Klum and family.  She was spotted shopping with her daughters, Leni (7) and Lou (2), and her mom, Erna.   Leni is the spitting image of Heidi – I wonder if she’s headed for a career as a model too?

More fun pics after the jump.

Heidi Klum makes working motherhood look so easy.  Have a baby, throw on a vinyl dress, no big deal.  It turns out, though, that the model, mother of four and Project Runway judge is human after all.  She relies on a calendar, just like the rest of us, to keep herself organized and sane.  She said:

It’s a huge responsibility to have four kids, and since they are all different, they all have different likes and dislikes and activities that they want to do. You have to learn how to juggle all of that and at the same time, give them each the love that they need.

At the end of the day, there is not much time left for you! The time you have, you spend with your family. Your calendar becomes your guide, and scheduling becomes so important to make sure it all gets done.

OK, look.  I’m aware that Heidi has the means to hire assistants, nannies, and lord knows who else to help her “make sure it all gets done.”   But I like this quote from her because it sounds like she really has been there.  If she delegated all the logistical work of parenting to the hired help, she wouldn’t necessarily even be able to talk about how hard it is to manage kids’ needs.   Then again, maybe she did all that for five minutes and said, “Well, that was fun!”  and called Mary Poppins to come take care of it all.  Who knows?

Heidi Klum was a busy mother yesterday in Brentwood, California as she was running around bringing Leni, 6, Henry, 5, Johan, 4, to karate practice and then bringing Lou, 1, to McDonald’s for a break.

Recently, Heidi shared what she thought being a modern woman was:

“Keeping it all together as a modern woman means multitasking, especially when you work,” she says. “I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do, and you don’t need to beat yourself up about it. I’m not white-picket-fence perfect.”

I think that everyone would love the white-picket fence.

Heidi Klum is cute on the May 2011 cover of Good Housekeeping magazine. In the interview she opens up about marriage, parenting, career, and reveals how she stays in shape. Plus, with four kids, two TV shows, and one very happy marriage, the model mom dishes on how she does it all without stressing. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On her husband, Seal: “He’s the most charming, loving, fun, gentlemanly, inspirational man I could have wished for,” Klum gushes. “He always makes me feel I’m the only woman in the world.”

On being parents: “We may be parents, but we can still make time to be a couple,” she says. “We’ll go shopping together. The kids think that’s the most boring thing on the planet.” It’s a good way for the supermodel to refresh her wardrobe: Klum is a firm believer in dressing up for her guy. The result is a still-sizzling love life. “We like to have fun with each other,” she says, this time in a sexy purr. “We do have four kids.”

On being a modern woman: “Keeping it all together as a modern woman means multitasking, especially when you work,” she says. “I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do, and you don’t need to beat yourself up about it. I’m not white-picket-fence perfect.”

On her priorities: “Family comes first,” Klum insists. “You’re the only thing they have.”

Heidi Klum and two of her kids, Leni and Johan were spotted coming out of  karate class yesterday in Los Angeles. Leni looks proud of herself that she’s carrying a trophy. I know that whenever I got a trophy for anything I did as a kid I practically slept with it at night.

I see the kids are wearing Crocs too. I wonder if they will still be all the rage like they always seem to be every year with the kids?

Heidi Klum is looking glamorous on the March 2011 cover of Lucky magazine. In the magazine she talks about what brings her happiness and her style icon. Here are the highlights:

My personal style icon is: “My mom—she inspires me and I inspire her so we end up looking the same in the end.”

If you had to take a politician to the CFDA awards, it would be: “President Obama, because if I can bring anyone, why not go for the top?! Plus, he’s hot!”

When I’m happy: “I treat myself to a Big Mac, fries and a Coke.”

The best person to go shopping with is: “My gay husband Michael Ostrow because he says, “No, it’s not the pants. It’s your ass that makes your ass look big!”

If you were trapped on a desert island and your husband were visiting, what would you wear? “A pair of Louboutins…That’s it!”

Heidi is my new hero. I love the Big Mac!

I have to say this is one of the cutest pictures ever! Heidi Klum and husband, Seal, took three of their kids, Henry, 5, Leni, 7, and Johan, 4, to a Lakers game on Friday. Johan had other plans while he slept through the whole thing. I know that I would be way too excited sitting in the front row to even be able to sleep.

The Lakers won the game against the New Orleans Hornets 101-97.

Heidi Klum and husband, Seal, were seen spending their Boxing Day (December 26th) at Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills. They had all the children with them, Leni, 6, Henry, 5, Johan, 4, and Lou, 14 months. I love how Seal always has his camera out and is taking pictures of the kids. I am like that too, I always have my camera near by.

Also, the kids were able to ride on a little Segway. They were supervised of course by mom and dad. They sure did look adorable though!

Heidi Klum is fabulous on the December 2010 issue of Self magazine. It looks like even though she has retired from being a Victoria’s Secret model she is still very busy. In the issue she gives her advice on staying young and how she handles work, love and her new line of clothing. Here are the highlights of the interview:

On getting older: “The ultimate beauty secret for a woman getting older is, Don’t be too thin! It is always better to have a little meat on your bones. When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt in the face, and that makes you look older by 5 or 10 years. I don’t think of getting older as looking better or worse; it’s just different. You change, and that’s OK. Life is about change. I don’t have anxiety about it, so I’m not running to get Botox. Maybe that will change, but I don’t think so. I feel comfortable in my skin and comfortable with aging, so I think it’s OK that I get wrinkles.”

On feeling overwhelmed: “Definitely! When I’m at the dinner table and everybody asks me a question at the same time. Or when the baby cries and cries and you’re, like, ‘What is wrong? You’re not hungry. I changed you—what is it?’ The sound level goes really high, and it’s like, whoa! I take a deep breath and say, ‘This is my world.’ It’s a roller coaster. Sometimes you’re on top and everything is fabulous, and sometimes it’s crazy. But it’s what I wanted, and in the end, I love it.”

On her favorite exercise: “One of the best parts about season eight of Project Runway being taped in New York City was that I went running every morning. I had a watch that counts the miles and the little thing you put on your shoe that measures each step. Over seven weeks, I ran 120 miles! I don’t love running, but I do like to see everything getting tighter and toned.”

On what makes her happy: “I learned from working in the fashion world that if I have a day when I feel slapped in the face, or if someone has been mean, I just have to get back up and it will be another day. I think about what I’m grateful for. I look at my kids and my husband and think, Wow, I’m a really lucky person.”

On looking fresh: “Sleep! I get up at 5:30, so I’m exhausted early. I go to bed at 8:30 most nights. Also, before events, I may get a spray tan. I like how it looks, but sometimes I leave gold shimmery marks all over!”

On her favorite salad: “I slice a head of fennel into small choppies with an onion, garlic that I put through the press, and a really great balsamic vinegar glaze—we like Gia Russa. Then I toss it all with olive oil and salt and pepper. I like it with a few cloves of garlic, but everyone else gets upset if I use more than two!
