Representatives for Heidi and Leni Klum did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Leni is the oldest child of Heidi and Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. She followed in her mother's footsteps and launched a modeling career with CAA Fashion, and is currently a Dior Beauty ambassador, according to her Instagram account. In April 2021, Leni was the cover star of Glamour Germany's 20th-anniversary issue two decades after Heidi was the magazine's first cover model.
"Thank you to everyone who made my first solo cover so special. It's an honor to share this with my mama @heidiklum who was Glamour Germany's first ever cover model," Leni captioned the post.
In July 2021, Heidi told People that she's "very involved" with her daughter's modeling career.
"I said to her, at the end of the day, you have to be happy with yourself," Heidi told the outlet. "And don't do anything you don't want to do. You don't always have to please people. But I'm always with Leni. And she has a very good head on her shoulders."
