‘I am very proud of my daughter and her modeling. And she’s studying at the same time, she’s already juggling,’ the model-turned-TV-personality-entrepreneur told People during an appearance at the 36th Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Leni moved to Manhattan to attend “the school she always wanted to go to” for interior design last summer, according to ET.
Sharing her mixed emotions about the film, Klum confessed that she was “sad” and “proud” to see her firstborn move to the East Coast.
Heidi grew up in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, a city near Cologne, and at the age of 19 was offered a modeling contract, which sent her on a path to New York and catwalks around the world.
After years of appearing on the covers and pages of major fashion magazines and being the face of many marketing campaigns, she branched out as a designer and into television and film, as an occasional actress and host and producer for reality stars, with shows like Project Runway, the TV show from Germany. She following Topmodel and America’s Got Talent.

In a previous interview with People, Leni revealed that she got to see her mom work up close in person, attending many of her modeling shoots.
“I’ve always gone to work with my mom and thought, ‘This looks so fun. She looks so happy while she’s working,'” Leni said last October. “Sometimes she would jump up and play with the makeup that her makeup artist brought.”
At 16, the rising star ended up making her modeling debut with her famous mother by her side and eventually on the cover of Vogue Germany.
