Heidi Klum's Jaw-Dropping Ferrari Surprise for Son's 21st Birthday
Heidi Klum went all out to celebrate her son Henry’s 21st birthday. “I can’t believe it is that time,” Klum, 53, told Henry in an Instagram video shared Saturday, September 12, sharing footage of the moment she gave her son his birthday present waiting in the driveway. “You’ve been waiting for so many years.” The camera panned, revealing that Klum and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, purchased a Ferrari F430 in honor of Henry’s special day. “Oh my God! Jesus Christ,” Henry exclaimed in the clip, getting a glimpse of the cherry-red sports car. “I don’t even know what to say.”
Kaulitz, 37, explained that he bought the car “last year” at an auto show and subsequently hid the vehicle in the garage “the whole time” so it would remain a surprise. “This thing is beautiful,” Henry marveled. “Holy s***! Oh my f***ing God, this … is insane. Holy s***, this thing is crazy.” Klum chimed in, noting that her husband “kept his promise” after the pair made a friendly bet over a video game. “Literally, it’s what, seven years ago when you guys said that?” the Project Runway host quipped. https://www.instagram.com/p/DdMM3hwxiXt/ When Henry was 14 years old, he and Kaulitz made a Mario Kart wager. “It’s happening on Christmas, and if I lose Mario Kart, then I can’t play video games for three months and I have to do a painting of me driving,” Henry said in throwback footage, which Klum updated to her Instagram page later on Saturday. “But if I win, then Tom has to give me a Ferrari when I’m 21.” In addition to Henry, Klum shares son Johan, 19, and daughter Lou, 16, with her ex-husband Seal. Klum, who also shares 22-year-old daughter Leni with ex Flavio Briatore, married Kaulitz in 2019.
“[Tom being] close in age has been fun for them, especially my son Henry, who loves talking cars with my husband,” Klum exclusively told Us in her July cover story of Kaulitz’s bond with her children. “When I hear [about] cars, my ears close. They talk about it like it’s science, and I have no idea what they’re saying.” Klum further gushed that Henry and his siblings all “have good heads on their shoulders.” “[They] have seen me work and know it’s not just glitz and glamour. They see how many conference calls I do with producers to come up with concepts and photo shoots,” she said of passing down her work ethic. “We’ve always had dinner around the table, and everyone talks about their day, and there are a lot of fun things I’ve gotten to tell them over the years, like singing with Snoop Dogg or Tiësto, things where they’re like, ‘Mom, how the heck did that happen?’"
