In early 2004, while still pregnant, Klum began a relationship with musician Seal.. The two met at New York's Mercer Hotel . Seal was present for Leni's birth and Klum has stated emphatically that "Seal is Leni's father".
Klum and Seal became engaged in December 2004 on a glacier in Whistler, British Columbia and married on May 10, 2005 on a beach in Mexico. They have three biological children together: sons Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel (born September 12, 2005) and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel (born November 22, 2006), and daughter Lou Sulola Samuel (born October 9, 2009). On November 21, 2009, Klum officially adopted Seal's surname and became legally known as Heidi Samuel. Soon after, in December 2009, Seal officially adopted Leni, and her last name was changed to Samuel. During their marriage, Klum and Seal renewed their vows to one another each year on their anniversary in front of family and friends.
On January 22, 2012, the couple announced that they were separating after nearly seven years of marriage.
