Henry Samuel, son of Heidi Klum and Seal, signs with Next Management at the age of 19, marking the beginning of his journey in fashion.
Henry Samuel, the son of supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal, has taken a decisive step into the fashion world by signing with the renowned agency Next Management. At just 19 years old, the young talent is emerging as a promising new face in international modelling, following in his mother’s footsteps but with a unique style and presence of his own.
Raised in an environment steeped in fashion and entertainment, Samuel has chosen to forge his own path on merit. His recent signing with Next Management—one of the industry’s most influential agencies—marks the launch of a career set to draw the attention of brands, designers, and specialised media alike. The agency has expressed its excitement about working with him, praising his creative energy, authenticity, and potential to stand out across multiple areas of the industry.
Henry’s experience in fashion is not entirely new. His runway debut took place during Paris Fashion Week in January 2025, where he walked in Lena Erziak’s haute couture show. He also featured on the cover of Hunger Magazine, in a photoshoot captured by acclaimed British photographer Rankin—an appearance that firmly placed him on the industry’s radar.
In May, Samuel made a notable appearance on the red carpet at the 2025 American Music Awards, accompanied by his mother, where his elegant and sophisticated look did not go unnoticed. Such public appearances reinforce his image as an emerging figure not only in fashion but also in entertainment.
Unlike other children of celebrities who shy away from the public eye, Henry has clearly shown a desire to build his own identity. His interests extend beyond modelling to include music, film, and sport—avenues that could lead to future multidisciplinary collaborations.
Klum and Seal, who were married between 2005 and 2014, have maintained an amicable relationship focused on co-parenting their children. Now, with Henry stepping into the spotlight in the modelling world, the Samuel surname is beginning to make its own mark in the global fashion scene.
