Leni Klum Facts
- Her mother has stated that as opposed to the internet’s shared opinion, Leni’s real name is not Helene Boshoven Samuel, but Leni Olumi Klum and that she has no clue where that information originated from.
- Leni was officially adopted by Seal Samuel in 2009 after which she took on the surname Samuel.
- She has disclosed that she always wanted to be a model and just kept waiting for the opportunity to arrive. The first offer came when she was only 12 or 13 years old, from the brand Brandy Melville that she has liked to wear. However, fervent begging her mother had only fallen on deaf ears and she had later understood that she was way too young for it back then.
- Leni has shared some pictures of herself on her Instagram where she has been noted to have looked very much like her mother, having come across as confident, and comfortable along with being classy.
- She has never hidden anything from her mother, having felt like they are best friends.
- When Leni has been asked by Heidi if she thinks her mother is cool or not, Leni has denied the same having explained that she has found the way she has acted at times to be rather embarrassing, including some of the dances she has done. However, she has gone on to console her that she does appear very cool when she is confident and in a fun mood, which is most of the time.
- Leni has found it wonderful about being a model that she can let everything out and just be her true self. She has considered her job to be the perfect outlet for all the energy she carries inside her.
- In September 2021, Leni graced the cover of Rollacoaster Magazine‘s Fall/Winter 2021 issue.
