Heidi Klum recently enjoyed a vacation in St. Barts with family, soaking up the sun on a yacht. The 53-year-old supermodel was seen with her daughter, Leni, and Leni’s boyfriend, Aris Rachevsky, while relaxing on the Caribbean waters.

Photos captured the mother-daughter duo in bikinis with Klum wearing a cream-colored string bikini, complemented by a gray baseball cap and sunglasses. Her dog also accompanied her as she lounged. Leni opted for a strapless blue bikini paired with a white hat and stylish sunglasses.

During their time on the yacht, Leni donned a snorkeling mask and flippers, capturing beloved memories as she snapped pictures of her mom. These photos later appeared on Klum’s Instagram account.

Klum has been transparent about her recent weight gain and body image. She shared with Us Weekly her husband, Tom Kaulitz, encouraged her to embrace a fuller figure. Klum expressed she felt better with the weight gain, remarking that it aligned with Kaulitz’s preference for her to have more ‘meat on her bones.’ This perspective counters industry norms that often emphasize thinness.

Despite her weight gain, Klum remains uninterested in GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, respecting those who choose that path but not considering it for herself. Additionally, Klum faced scrutiny for posing in a lingerie campaign with her daughter, which sparked debate among social media users.

In response to criticism, Klum stated to People that she takes pride in her openness and comfort with her body, a trait she attributes to her European background. She expressed that her children are accustomed to her comfort with her body and are likely more relaxed about their own bodies as a result.
