Kaulitz has grown very fond and paternal of Klum’s children, as she has expressed in multiple interviews. Amusingly enough, she had not listened to her hus- band’s music prior to marrying him. They, in fact, met through a mutual friend, Kaulitz’s twin broth- er. She had met Tom’s brother years ago, without knowing that she’d eventually fall in love and marry into the family. She is, however, a current fan and cheerleader for her husband’s successful band. PHILANTHROPIC ENDEAVORS Klum is also a noted philanthropist, giving generous- ly to multiple causes and charities over the years, even lending her star power to fundraisers along with her dollars. In 2014, she was even given the honor of receiving the Crystal Cross Award, a rare tribute to the generosity of donors like Klum. She received special recognition for her contributions and advoca- cy for the Red Cross after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East Coast, as first reported in The Telegram. “I think everyone can do something, even if it is in your own community,” Klum explained. “You can visit children in the hospital or bring gifts to them, cook a meal for someone who is ill and can’t. We are all global citizens and whatever we can do, if it is small or something bigger––it’s all important.”  Klum has more plans on the horizon, both cre- atively and philanthropically, which we would expect from someone as busy as this beloved en- tertainment mogul. Stay tuned for what’s next!
