Flavio Briatore: For him, Seal is the only father of Leni Klum
That Flavio Briatore (68) is the birth father of Heidi Klums (45, "Of course, successful") 14-year-old daughter Helene (Leni) Boshoven Samuel, there is no doubt biologically. And just two weeks ago Klum posted a photo of himself, the former Formula 1 team boss and the common teenage daughter on Instagram. However, such family gatherings seem to be extremely rare, as Briatore suggests in an interview with "RTL Next". "We may talk twice a year perhaps," Briatore is quoted as saying. "But it's not time, but what you make of it, we have different lives, we live in different countries."
Although he has a very good relationship with the entire Klum family and thus Leni, whom he describes as "beautiful and happy". But as her true father, he does not feel himself, but someone else: "Seal is the father of Leni." Shortly after breaking the relationship with Briatore after only about a year, Klum got to know her future husband Seal (55) (marriage from 2005 to 2014). In 2004, daughter Leni was born. In 2009, the singer finally adopted the then five-year-old daughter.
A step that came with the fullest approval of Briatore, as he confirmed in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in 2016: "We agreed from the beginning that it makes more sense for Seal to adopt her, because a child in a family must grow up. "
