Heidi Klum got varied reactions after pranking her admirers with a phoney prosthetic belly in honour of April Fool’s Day. The supermodel and mother-of-four, 49, has four children with her ex-husband Seal: Leni, 18, Henry, 17, Johan, 16, and Lou, 13.
Howie Mandel, an America’s Got Talent judge, posted a picture of co-star Sofa Vergara caressing Heidi’s ‘baby bump.’
The star captioned the snap: ‘Congratulations. @heidiklum Co-workers @sofiavergara and I are the first know. #agt.’
However, the comment was deemed “distasteful and disappointing,” especially by those who are unable to have children.
‘Pregnancy jokes aren’t really funny anymore,’ one fan replied.
‘Very tacky to post something like this while there are so many struggling with infertility,’ another added.
‘Not a pregnancy joke for April Fools.. Wow. I’m honestly disappointed,’ a third responded.
According to NHS data, approximately one in every seven couples may have trouble conceiving. Heidi recently expressed interest in having a kid with her spouse, Tom Kaulitz.
‘I mean it’s a lot. I’ve done it four times. I breastfed eight months each time [with my four kids] and then I was pregnant again,’ she said during the Jennifer Hudson Show in February.
‘Three times in a row. Again [my children are] 18, 17, 16, and then 13. Now I waited a long time, so maybe [yes].
In 2022, the TV star told US Weekly how fast Tom blended in with her family after they married.
‘[Tom’s] amazing. I’m sure it’s not easy to step into an immediate family, having all of a sudden four kids and teenagers.
‘They were easier when they were younger, for sure. Every age comes with its challenges. … It’s beautiful. It’s fun. I mean, so far, so good.’
