Heidi Klum Topless On Beach With 20-Year-Old Daughter 'Inappropriate'

Heidi Klum has been embracing her femininity as she strips down on a beach while spending time with husband Tom Kaulitz and 20-year-old daughter Leni Klum. The supermodel, 51, soaked up rays in Sardinia this week, embracing the European nudist culture and removing her bikini top for a fully topless display. Lounging around in the sun, Heidi snuggled up to 34-year-old Tom with model daughter Leni close by, but the photos are creeping fans out. When The Daily Mail published the images on Wednesday, users appeared horrified. The most-liked reply deemed the whole affair not "appropriate."

Scroll for the photos. Enjoying a beach lounger as she wore only a skimpy pair of bikini bottoms, Heidi confidently flashed her bare chest as she flaunted her long legs while enjoying some downtime.

Exposing her chest to the point of having her cleavage blurred out, the America's Got Talent judge seemed comfortable with her nudity display, with the photos showing a bikini-clad Leni nearby.

Wearing shades and her long hair down, Heidi Klum even braved a thong as she relaxed next to a shirtless Tom, with Leni seen flaunting her sensational figure in a tiny two-piece as she joined her mother. The Dior Beauty ambassador is shared by Heidi and ex-husband Seal, who adopted her.

The comments didn't take long. "I could never do this while my daughter & her husband were there just don't seem appropriate," one user said as over 500 others agreed. Noting some cultural differences between Europe and the U.S., another said: "So common among the French, Germans, etc. But I agree it’s terribly inappropriate in my opinion to do that in front of that daughter’s boyfriend."

Also chiming in was a user claiming to be a parent. "I have 2 adult daughters. I’m past my best at 56, I still wear a bikini on holiday, I know I don’t look the greatest. I’d never in a million years pose alongside my daughters, who still have youthful figures. Anyway, it’s weird!" they wrote.

This wouldn't be the first time that Heidi and Leni have raised eyebrows. In 2022, the mom-and-daughter duo commenced their joint ambassador status for lingerie brand Intimissi. They made instant headlines for posing together in skimpy undies, with many finding the photos awkward. At the time, Leni was 18 years old.

This October 2022 photo marked Heidi and Leni's Intimissi debut. Alongside jointly fronting the Italian label, Heidi and Leni both post individual Intimissi promos to their respective Instagram accounts. The ads are likely boosting Heidi Klum's $160 million net worth as she also cashes in from competition series AGT.
