Klum was featured in the magazine multiple times over the course of her career, including in the 2017 50th anniversary edition. Her success continued after she was signed as a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 1999, becoming the first German model to do so. She was the face of the brand until she hung up her wings in October 2010.

Following her split from Briatore, Klum began dating singer Seal, who was present when she gave birth to daughter Leni in May 2004. Seal proposed seven months later. The couple got married in 2005, and Seal officially adopted Leni in 2009. He and Klum welcomed three kids of their own — Henry, Johan and Lou — before announcing their separation in January 2012.
