It’s a fashion emergency!
Heidi Klum filed a request for an emergency hearing so she can bring her four children — whom she shares with ex-husband Seal — to Germany so she can film season 16 of “Germany’s Next Top Model” this fall, People reported Thursday.
The supermodel, 47, claims that the 57-year-old “Kiss from a Rose” singer doesn’t want Klum taking the kids to Europe amid coronavirus concerns, according to the declaration obtained by the outlet.
In the filing, the former “Project Runway” host said that the ex-couple shares custody, but the kids spend most of thee time living with their mother, noting that the singer’s “time with our children is sporadic at best.”
Klum, who is contractually obligated to film the series’ upcoming season, remarked that she typically brings the family with her for work-related travel. When it comes to this trip though, her ex “has not yet approved.”
“I am well aware of all of the necessary precautions associated with the COVID-19 virus, and would never put our children at risk,” Klum said in her declaration. “I have taken all the precautions for Germany the same way I do in the United States.”
In the filing, the “America’s Got Talent” judge noted that while “Next Top Model” is generally filmed in Los Angeles for her family obligations, the pandemic is currently making it impossible for the German cast and crew to enter the U.S.
Klum offered to rearrange the former couple’s custody schedule — which originally had her with the kids this Christmas — if Seal agrees to letting their children go to Germany.
“Also, as Henry [Seal] has a British passport, he would be able to visit the children while they are in Germany if he wishes to do so,” said Klum, who added she’s “desperate.”
Noting that their kids haven’t said they want to stay in L.A. with Seal, Klum added, “It could not possibly be in their best interests.”
The couple’s 16-year-old daughter, Leni, submitted a declaration to the court on her mother’s behalf.
“This is hard because I love both of my parents, but I feel like I need to speak up. I understand that my siblings are too young to speak to the judge, so I am happy to speak for all of us,” wrote the teen, who was born to Klum and adopted by Seal.
Leni said she and her siblings want to go with Klum but Seal “is not allowing us to go, though we have tried to tell him our reasons we want to.”
Together, Klum and Seal, who finalized their divorce in 2014, also share 14-year-old Henry, 13-year-old Johan, and 10-year-old Lou.
