March 16, 200817 yr Credit to the original scanner. Here is the translation of the article: Heidi I Love You Besides music, Seal has another hobby: photography. Without make-up and totally natural lighting, here is his Heidi Klum exclusively for OK! - and with written love notes about his wife. [These are the written "love notes" from Seal that accompany each picture] "I am the luckiest man in the world. I get to take pictures of this supermodel without having to pay for it." "In order to bring Heidi to laughter, I tell her what I had thought the first time I saw her..." "It is impossible to say what I love most about her. But her kindness and her ability to inspire others are what impress me the most." "Being together with Heidi, I feel a little like a kid again - with experience." "Heidi believes that this is the only life there is. She has no desire to waste time." "Trust, respect and never full of ourselves. Those are the values we treasure in our relationship. And that we don't avoid growing up with one another." [Now the article and interview] The whole world loves "our Heidi". But, mostly the supermodel receives praises from her husband Seal, 45. Together they are not only professionally a "power couple", but also in private they are a "photo album couple". They have been married for three years and have always been in love since Day 1 and they enjoy almost every free minute with their children Leni, 3, Henry, 2, and Johan, 15 months. Because they have not forgotten rule #1: time in twos is important for their love! Heidi Klum reveals that in an exclusive interview with "OK!", as she returned from their short vacation in Mexico, where Seal has taken many pictures of her, how he loves her the most... Great photos! You look a lot different... That's how I look when I'm on vacation. No make-up, natural and happy. After all, the photo where I am wearing the hat - that's the beach in Mexico where we were married. Seal claims that he marries you again every year like new. Has he kept his word up to this point? Of course, we have already been married three times! Always in a similar place at a similar time, but with different outfits. And mostly every year we have an addition... Your next wedding is in May - can we expect little Klum number four? (laughs) No. We have no plans. Especially since "Germany's Next Top Model" starts soon. Does your family come with you to Germany or do you commute? We are always together. The children stay with my parents when I am filming. And the two oldest, Leni and Henry, go to Kindergarten. That works out fantastic and has the advantage that they learn to speak correct German. Although when we are alone, I only speak German to them. In the third season it seems harder to check the contestants. What should we expect [to see]? The girls must go through more castings in this case, and compete with models for their jobs. It is simply harder, but we have a contestant that even made a run at Fashion Week in New York! The girls must take harsh criticism. How do you prepare your protégés for that? I always say to them, that they should not take it personally. The criticism has nothing to do with them personally, but with the style - how they look in the pictures. You must understand the difference. What is the worst rebuff you have received in your career? There was some. Really! There are castings where they don't even notice you! You come in, say "Hello", and show them your portfolio. Then they say "Auf Wiedersehen" and haven't even for a moment looked you in the eyes. One must handle bad experiences. It is part of the job. It is naturally not always like that. But I have already heard, "You are too fat and do not fit at all." And rightly so! The designers often make such small clothes. And I really don't fit in them. Nevertheless, you must always work with an indestructible self-esteem... In this job, you must be self-confident. You can't work any other way! That's what our girls learn a little. And when you don't have enough self-confidence, and you get stuck with a rebuff, and you can't come out of it, then modeling isn't the right job for you. Not every beautiful girl should become a model. That's why we have the tasks on the show. Then they can quickly see if they can withstand the pressure or not. Have your parents instilled in you your self-confidence? (laughs) Also, first and foremost, I believe my parents raised me well! They were always very proud of me, and supported me in whatever I did. At age six, I took up dancing, and every year we had a big entrance, with which I stood on the stage. We also travelled around Germany and won a cup. Perhaps that is why it doesn't bother me to appear in front of a crowd because I already did it as a child. With the girls [on the show] you can often tell they are nervous when they stand before the judges and the team. They shake and rock back and forth on the runway. You really have to overcome the nerves. How would you rate Leni's first performance in Kindergarten? Until now, Leni had only a little experience, but it certainly comes. I let it sneak up on me. She is now almost four! But she already has a lot of self-confidence - in any case, she is something bossy, her two brothers have handled it well. Now they are even smaller. At times we are pleased to see that, given the older one is... You are a model, advertising icon, moderator and mother. Which role is your favorite? What kind of question is that? Of course it is "mother". It pleases me the most, and in general I think it is the best. I can not wait to come home and see my children. Naturally, it exciting to flit off to New York, but then I always fly right back. Seal also works straight and the kids stay with Grandma and Grandpa. It is a super "aufgehoben" [don't know what this means]. I also spent a lot of time with my Grandma. That's the way I like it to be. You live with a perfect family life. But who actually does the cooking at your house? We alternate cooking. Sometimes I cook, sometimes Seal cooks, but him not as much. Every once in a while, one of our nannies cooks, and when my mother is here, she cooks. But I have come up with a plan that is fairly strict that we comply with where we eat very healthy and I want the children to eat everything that we eat. Naturally, we sometimes get pizza or french fries, but we almost always cook everything fresh - pretty much every day. Do you actually feel under pressure to sustain your status as a perfect couple? [part of this answer was cut off by the scanner] Ach, you know, one cannot take that so seriously, what is written or ... Many things are not right. ... things must be worked out and ... And with the others, one should ... think about too much. [The next two questions and answers were also cut off by the scanner] ... always so in love - what is the ... for your relationship? ... simply that we are in love! ... find rules for it? I don't think so. ... in love and that what's important. ... reveal to us, what he ... you to smile ... when he said that ... the first time you saw him ... your confession to talk show master Oprah Winfrey that they already suspected that you thought about the the gym shorts and you having seen the "whole package" - what was with that then? (laughs) He always tells me that he had thought I was a princess! A beautiful princess from some country because I had on such a beautiful dress and great jewelry. And he says that he had thought that whatever man was with me was the luckiest man in the world. And sometimes he says that's what he became. For many couples, they lose the passion after they have kids... Isn't that really sad? How do you manage to keep the passion alive? We have a tremendous amount of fun together. Seal is my best friend, my lover, my man, the father of our children. And we have a very full life. We have fun together, flying around the world and also travel without the children, we have "Date Nights"... Date Nights? How do you see to that? Well, we go out to eat or to the movies. Or we go on vacation just by ourselves. I don't know if I should advise other couples on how to heat up their relationships. But that's how we do it and it works. We undertake many things with the whole family. On Seal's birthday we all went to Disneyland. But we also give ourselves moments that are reserved just for us. Which of you is more romantic? Both. We are both of a romantic style and manner. You also write little "I'm thinking about you" notes? Of course! And I stick them everywhere. On the tea bags or on his favorite tea cup. [i'm sure stefkay can translate this next question better. It makes no sense to me.] Seal has said at times, that he goes around so intimate with you, seeing you with the children, how you handled becoming a woman, and with Leni later never with little satisfaction... Hmm... my man is truly the man of my dreams! Yes - then we have everything to like... Yes? And I have the good fortune! Which values do you want your children to take with them on their way? They should respect other people. That is the most important, I think. To go around with other people respectfully. They already catch the little things. To say "please" and "thank you" in the restaurant. Our children should take the trouble to be good, decent people. With everything that they do. You are one of the most successful women in the world! Do you still have dreams? My dream is that our children will allow us to take part in their lives sometime as we have done with my parents. My parents were there at the births and have been very engaged with their lives. I want that also for us. That our family life goes on so harmonious and we share our life with our kids. There certainly are only a few families that function like yours... That is also very sad, when earlier that was more common. I don't know about others. With us it was always like that. For Christmas we gathered everyone together, and on birthdays and on weekends we were always together. When my parents went out, I stayed with my grandma. We are even all together when we go on vacation. That was always normal. It seems like again and again for many people it is unusual. You are always in a good mood. Even when you are on a diet. What is your trick? I have fun with my job, and then, what I eat, I make what I like. Many people think it is very difficult, but I don't hold any super strange diet. I simply eat very healthy. And I love my job when it is varied. For example, some office job just wasn't for me. Does that help you to always stay so positive? Well, that really isn't always so. But it is really rare that I am in a bad mood. I am almost always in a good mood. And when you have a bad mood? Then I must simply work through it. And the other people around me have to also!
March 17, 200817 yr The question that you had problem with is, I believe the interviewer is saying something like that, "Seal once said that is why he so dearly with ihnene bypasses, so that the children see how a woman should be treated, and so that later Leni will be never satisfied with less ..
March 19, 200817 yr Oh okay! I'm not saying I' m right and your wrong! I just have no idea, but would love to know!
