MARCH/APRIL 2020 SPOTLIGHT Continued from page 9 tion that more could be done with a new show on a new network. Being a semi-retired model still requires a great deal of dedication and focus on her physical well- being. Klum takes a balanced approach that al- lows her to eat reasonably well, and doesn’t kill herself working out every day of the week.  STAYING ACTIVE For the most part, she relies on cardio like running, a bit of weight training and then yoga as her stretching and resistance regimen (which helps her keep her impressive abs and core looking like a 20-year-old’s). She’s also been known to jump on trampolines and dabble in circuit training to keep her heart rate up. Klum’s motto is that working out is easier with an accountability partner. Gym partners are friends and motivators in one. “My best advice,” Klum dished to Glamour, “is to workout with a buddy. They keep you motivated and get you out of bed.” Klum admittedly eats a generous amount of food, but she eats nutritious foods that help fill her up (fruits and veg- gies for fiber), eggs and skinless chicken for protein, and watches her portions around dinnertime, careful not to eat too much before bed, as she explained to US Weekly. FINDING LOVE As far as her personal life, Heidi has been thrice married, famously to the pop singer Seal, with whom she had children, and most recently to musician Tom Kaulitz. He is a guitarist, singer-songwriter and keyboard player in the bestselling rock band Tokio Hotel. He also just happens to be 16 years her junior! But while double standards may raise eyebrows for these age gaps among women who are the senior partner, Klum doesn’t sweat the questioning looks.  The couple hardly seems to care about the age difference; but the public, especially in Hollywood, can be shallow.  “Lately, I’m being reminded more about my age by people other than myself,” Klum recently ex- plained to InStyle. “My boyfriend is many years younger than me, but I don’t see the big deal.” When asked about her recent nuptials, Klum told USA Today, “So far, so good!” Which would hardly count as a ringing endorsement, save for the fact that she was ribbing us with a coy smile and her trademark sense of humor.  Klum and Kaulitz get along famously, for several rea- sons. Both are German natives and, on top of that, they both have been married before. Not to mention, they are both multifaceted entertainers with a pas- 10 AT LEFT: Heidi Klum and husband Tom Kaulitz attend Angel Ball 2019 hosted by Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for cancer research.
