2024 is gearing up to be a big year for Heidi Klum and her family as they prepare for a life-changing 12 months.
The America's Got Talent judge shares her daughters Lou, 14, and Leni, 19, and her sons, Johan, 16, and Henry, 18, with her ex-husband, Seal.
But this year, the time has come for a shift in the family dynamic with Henry looking to leave home.
Earlier this year, Heidi revealed they were looking at colleges for her oldest son, who is now an adult.
With Leni already living in New York where she is studying and modeling, Heidi and her husband Tom Kaulitz's home in Los Angeles will suddenly seem a lot quieter with Henry gone too.
The family are incredibly close and recently all four children stepped out for a very rare public appearance with their dad, and 6"3 Henry is as tall as his famous father.
Looking grown up, and so much like Seal, Henry proved he's no longer a child as he showed off his fit physique alongside his equally striking siblings.

In June, Heidi posted a short clip - which can be seen above - in the car with Henry as they looked into his future education. Heidi teased her son by panning the camera round to the front seat where he was fast asleep.

During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden last year, Heidi opened up about how challenging she's finding it watching her children growing up.
The star discussed her Leni leaving home and went on to talk about how she's coping with her other kids getting older too. She said the whole process is "hard," and it never really lets up.
"First they have a car and they drive, and that's hard. Then they move across the country, and that’s harder. I'm like non-stop scared."
Heidi and Seal co-parent their children, but admit it's not been the easiest process. They split in 2012 and their divorce was finalized in 2014. He previously spoke about co-parenting with Heidi in a less than positive light.

Thankfully, it looks like they've got past their differences for the sake of their children and are united in raising confident, kind and successful offspring.
