THIS IS EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY AT 12:01 a.m.

Henry Samuel is following in his mother Heidi Klum‘s footsteps.

The 19-year-old son of Klum and musician Seal has been signed to Next Management to secure opportunities in the fashion space. He will continue to be managed by Jennifer Love.

“I’ve grown up around fashion and entertainment, but stepping into the world myself is a whole new experience. I’m grateful to Next Management for this opportunity and excited to learn, grow, and find my own voice in the industry,” said Samuel Tuesday.

“Henry brings a unique presence and creative energy that feels fresh and entirely his own,” said Josh Otten, U.S. director of talent, Next Management. “He’s entering the industry to forge his own path, and at Next, we’re committed to supporting this through a 360-degree strategy that spans fashion, entertainment, and cultural relevance.”

Born in Los Angeles, Samuel has been carving out a name for himself in the fashion and entertainment industries. He made his runway debut last January at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture spring-summer 2025 show, which was part of Paris Fashion Week. He has also appeared on the cover of Hunger Magazine, photographed by British photographer Rankin.

In May, Samuel made a red carpet appearance with Klum at the 2025 American Music Awards at Fontainebleu in Las Vegas wearing a black suit and black button-down shirt. In addition to fashion, Samuel’s interests run the gamut from sports to music and film. Klum and Seal, who were married in 2005, divorced in 2014.
