Heidi Klum embraced the sunny beaches of St. Barths during a recent getaway with her husband, Tom Kaulitz, opting for a carefree day by going topless. The 52-year-old supermodel was seen enjoying the tropical paradise with the 36-year-old Tokio Hotel guitarist, sporting only brown thong bikini bottoms along with a white baseball hat and sunglasses.
The couple was photographed shared moments of affection, including kisses while splashing in the ocean, radiating a sense of joy and relaxation. Klum, who held hands with her husband, also relaxed with a cold beer in hand as they made the most of their time in the sun.
Their trip to St. Barths followed a festive Christmas celebration in New York City, where Klum posted a heartwarming image of them in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. She also shared a playful video of them ice skating in matching red and white plaid pajamas, winter coats, and Santa hats.
Married since February 2019, Klum has always been open about her confidence and comfort with nudity, stating in a July interview with People that age should not dictate how one feels about their body. She believes anyone, regardless of age, should feel free to express themselves and embrace their own beauty.
“The biggest misconception about being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf,” Klum remarked. “You’re not off the shelf. We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don’t hide in your 50s. Beauty is ever-changing, and I’m here for the change.”
Having worked as a model for over two decades, Klum is no stranger to being photographed nude or in lingerie. She pointed out that while she has been comfortable in her skin for years, the conversation around body confidence and visibility is becoming more common, allowing others to express themselves similarly.
Additionally, Klum’s influence continues with her children following in her modeling footsteps. Her son Henry, 20, and daughter Leni, 21, are both making their marks in the fashion industry, alongside her younger children Lou, 16, and Johan, 19, from her previous marriage to Seal.
Klum’s fearless attitude towards age and body positivity is both inspiring and refreshing, encouraging others to celebrate their individuality at any stage of life.
