Her Mouawad jewelry collection debuted on the cable shopping network QVC on September 14, 2006, and 14 of the 16 styles sold out after only 35 minutes.

Klum is an artist and has had several of her paintings appear in various art magazines in the U.S. On September 27, 2002 she dedicated a sculpture she painted called “Dogs with Butterflies” to commemorate the role of rescue dogs in the aftermath of September 11. She has also had a rose named after her, known as the “Heidi Klum rose”.

Klum is featured in the 2004 James Bond video game Everything or Nothing, where she plays a villain Dr. Katya Nadanova.

Klum has been appeared in several music videos, including Jamiroquai’s video “Love Foolosophy” from their album A Funk Odyssey, and Kelis’s “Young, Fresh N’ New”, off her second album Wanderland.

In November 2006 Heidi released her debut single “Wonderland”, which was written for a series of television advertisements for the German retailer “Douglas”. Proceeds from the single were given to a children’s charity in her hometown of Bergisch Gladbach.

Personal life
Klum married celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino on September 6, 1997. The couple divorced in November 2002. She has also dated Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, and Philip Zevenbergen.

Klum has a daughter, Helene “Leni” Klum, who was born on May 4, 2004 and named after Klum’s grandmother. Her father is Klum’s former boyfriend and Formula One manager, Flavio Briatore. Klum’s husband, British musician Seal, is helping her raise the child. Even in the earlier stages of their relationship, Klum said Seal treated Leni as if she was his own child.

Klum and Seal were wed on May 10, 2005, on a beach in Mexico. Klum gave birth to their son, Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, in Los Angeles on September 12, 2005. On November 22, 2006, in Los Angeles, Heidi gave birth to their second son, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel.

Scandals
According to Vogue, the millionaire German supermodel has a $2.5 million contract with Victoria’s Secret that bans her from “altering her image” in any way which includes marriage. Victoria’s Secret regards Klum’s pregnancy and the birth of her daughter Leni as equally “image hurting” and she was forced to work off the extra pregnancy pounds for a fashion shoot just 34 days after giving birth, or risk losing the contract.
