Transcript

00:00 Seal delivers a heartfelt message to his daughter with Heidi Klum.

00:03 The Grammy award-winning singer pens a sweet note to 19-year-old Lenny Klum,

00:08 while sharing an image of himself and Lenny on an outing in the Big Apple.

00:12 Seal captions this picture of the two together, "In New York with the young woman who changed my

00:16 life for the better 19 years ago. Thank you Lenny for making me a better person. Love you, Papa."

00:22 And if that isn't enough to make you tear up,

00:24 Lenny's response seals the deal with, "So cute. I love you, Papa."

00:28 Back in March, the "Love Divine" singer praised the aspiring model as she follows

00:32 in her mom's footsteps, telling E! News at the time, "I'm so proud of everything that

00:36 Lenny has done, but I'm more proud of everything that she is."

00:40 He added, "She walks through life with this type of humility that allows her to

00:44 move so gracefully through it all, and she has an innate understanding of people in

00:48 general and people's feelings, so I'm kind of more impressed with everything that she is."

00:52 Seal and Heidi also share two sons, Johan and Henry, along with another daughter, Lou.

00:58 Lenny has been in the spotlight since Heidi welcomed her in May 2004,

01:02 shortly after she and Lenny's father, Flavio Briatore, broke up.

01:06 A year later, Heidi wed Seal, who went on to adopt Lenny. However, after welcoming their

01:11 three other children together, he and the "Making the Cut" co-host separated in 2012.

01:16 Their divorce was finalized two years later.

01:18 Klum has since married Tokyo hotel rocker Tom Kaulitz.

01:22 As far as co-parenting the budding supermodel and what he called her "innate understanding

01:26 of people," Seal previously told E! News, "I'd like to think, as a parent, that we have,

01:31 between her mother and myself, that we've instilled some of that in her,

01:34 but she can do no wrong in my eyes, and she's quite wonderful."

01:37 Heidi previously told People Magazine of her daughter's modeling career,

01:41 "I'm very proud of my daughter and her modeling. And she's studying at the same time.

01:45 She's juggling already."

01:47 In October of 2021, Seal and Lenny made a rare joint appearance together at the

01:52 Los Angeles screening of Netflix's "The Harder They Fall."
