Heidi Klum was spotted enjoying a beach day in Saint Barthélemy, more widely known as St. Barts, as she continued a tropical holiday with her husband, Tom Kaulitz. The 52-year-old supermodel and Project Runway host appeared completely at ease as she embraced the warm weather and crystal-clear water during the early days of January.
Klum was seen walking hand in hand with Kaulitz, 36, after the couple took a refreshing dip in the sea. For the outing, she wore a vibrant yellow bikini that stood out against the sand and ocean backdrop, while Kaulitz went shirtless in pink swim trunks that matched the laid-back island setting.
The couple has been spending several weeks in St. Barts, using the tropical destination as a holiday retreat. During their stay, Klum was previously photographed draping a towel printed with Kaulitz’s face over her shoulders, a playful moment that quickly caught the attention of fans and highlighted their easygoing chemistry.
The pair, who have been married since 2019, appeared relaxed throughout their time on the island, often laughing together and enjoying quiet moments by the water. Their beach days reflected a mix of affection and simplicity, far removed from red carpets and television studios.
Klum also shared a glimpse of her fitness routine while on vacation, posting an Instagram video in which she worked out on the beach in the same yellow bikini. In the clip, she powered through bicep curls using a resistance band, showing off her toned physique while keeping things casual.
She accessorized with a long gold chain necklace and reflective aviator sunglasses, leaving her blonde-highlighted hair down in loose, beachy waves. Minimal makeup allowed her natural features to shine, reinforcing the effortless feel of the moment.
Fans were quick to respond to the video, filling the comments with praise and admiration. Many referred to Klum as a “Goddess” and applauded her dedication to staying active while on holiday. Beyond workouts, Klum also shared photos of herself relaxing with Kaulitz and a friend, wearing the same butter yellow bikini paired with a white sarong as she enjoyed the sunshine.
The images captured a slower pace, with the group lounging by the water and taking in the scenery, emphasizing that the trip was about both movement and rest.
Klum’s beach adventures continued the following day when she was seen posing topless in the ocean, wearing metallic navy blue bikini bottoms as she jumped through the waves alongside Kaulitz. She accessorized with a long necklace and aviator sunglasses, appearing carefree as she enjoyed the water.
Before shedding her bikini top, Klum was photographed wearing a neon yellow halter and a white sunhat while carrying her beach essentials in a black tote bag. Later, she shared Instagram clips of herself strolling along the shore in her bikini and sarong, even snacking on potato chips while lounging on a towel.
This marked the third topless outing for the German supermodel in recent weeks. Klum has previously spoken openly about her comfort with her body and her practical reasons for avoiding tan lines. Speaking to People in 2023, she said, “I’m super comfortable naked today. To the point where my kids are like, ‘Mom, I have a friend coming over.’ As soon as someone is coming, I put my top on. But if no one is there, suns out buns out.”
She also explained, “I just don’t like tan lines because I wear so many different outfits. I don’t want to have straps anywhere from tan lines. It’s very strategic.”
Beyond beachwear, Klum has often spoken candidly about aging, beauty, and confidence. She has voiced her support for Botox while challenging stereotypes tied to growing older, emphasizing that women in their 50s should not be sidelined.
“The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You’re not off the shelf. We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don’t hide in your 50s.” Her St. Barts getaway seemed to reflect that outlook, blending confidence, joy, and ease.
Klum’s relationship with Kaulitz first became public in March 2018 when the two were spotted sharing a kiss after a Lorraine Schwartz launch party. Their romance moved quickly, with Kaulitz proposing in December of that year. They married in a private ceremony seven months later before celebrating with a larger wedding in Capri, Italy, in August 2019.
Kaulitz has since embraced his role as a stepfather to Klum’s four children: daughter Leni, 21, whom Klum shares with former partner Flavio Briatore, and sons Henry, 20, Johan, 19, and Lou, 16, from her previous marriage to Seal.
