Heidi Klum is suing her ex-husband Seal in court.
The model and her 16-year-old daughter claimed in an emergency service that the singer, whose real name is Henry Samuel, has prevented the supermodel from taking her four children to Germany later this year.
Klum, 47, is contractually obliged to travel to Germany to film ‘Germany’s Next Top Model’, where she is the host and chief justice. She asked to bring her children as well: Leni, 16, Henry, 14, Johan, 13, and Lou, 10.

“Henry’s time is at best sporadic,” the supermodel said in a scandalous letter to a judge in court documents obtained by People.
The judge of “America’s Got Talent” then claimed, “In 2020, he has so far spent about six weeks with Leni, six weeks in total with Henry, ten days in total with Johan, and ten days in total with Lou.”
Klum claimed that she usually takes her children when she travels and initially her ex-husband was fine with it, but changed his mind because of concerns about the novel coronavirus.

“I am aware of all the necessary precautions associated with the COVID-19 virus, and would never endanger our children – I have taken all precautions for Germany in the same way as I have in the United States,” she wrote, adding that she is “grateful” to still be working at this unusual time.
“Germany’s Next Top Model” is typically filmed in Los Angeles, California, for Klum’s convenience. However, the German cast and crew could not meet this time.
“Also, because Henry has a British passport, he could visit the children while they were in Germany if he wanted to,” the supermodel wrote.

Klum also said she would be willing to negotiate for Seal to take care of her children for a second Christmas break in a row if that meant she could take them to Germany. Through their custody agreement, they have spent Christmas with the children every year.
However, the supermodel claimed her youngest children, Lour and Johan, “cried” and asked her “to pick them up after a few days,” per The Blast’s copy of the court submission. “I can not imagine that they are months without me.”
The Blast also received a copy of the letter Klum and Seal’s daughter Leni wrote to the courts.

“This is difficult because I love both parents, but I feel I have to speak. I understand that my siblings are too young to speak to the judge, so I am happy to speak for all of us,” he said. the 16-year-old wrote. “My mother has to film in Germany for a few months and my siblings and I want to go with her.”
She went on to say, “So far our father has not allowed us to, although we have tried to tell him our reasons why we want to.”
Leni also said that her younger siblings would be “really overwhelmed” if they had to stay in Los Angeles and that they were “scared” about the possibility of being away from Klum for that long time.

The 16-year-old also noted that the number of COVID-19 cases is less in Germany than in Los Angeles.
“I just want to figure something out and come up with a plan and agreement as a family,” Leni concluded. “I love you so much.”
Klum became ill in March which led her to believe she was carrying the coronavirus. They later tested negative.
