Heidi Klum recalls 'awkward' moment she met Joaquin Phoenix
Heidi Klum had the most “awkward” moment meeting Joaquin Phoenix.
“I'm obsessed with Joaquin. “I love my husband, but Joaquin Phoenix is second,” Klum, 50, revealed during the Wednesday, January 31, episode of the Podcast 'Call her daddy'. “I met him and couldn't say a word.”
It's unclear where exactly they crossed paths, but Klum made it clear that the interaction was completely out of character.
“I'm not very shy,” she continued. 'I couldn't find the tongue. It went everywhere, and he just stood there.”
Klum 'never' saw the actor again. “That was difficult because… I was a little stunned,” she concluded.
The “close second” to Phoenix that Klum mentioned is her husband, Tom Kaulitzwhom she married in 2019.
“I have a German husband,” she said in the podcast episode, during a discussion about “German sausages.” Initially the conversation was about food, but it quickly turned sexual when Klum joked that she had had “a lot of different sausages” over the years.
“But in the end I got a German one,” she continued. “The German sausages, what can I say.”
Klum and Kaulitz, 34, were first spotted together in March 2018 when photographers caught them making out. He proposed in December of that same year and they got married in two separate ceremonies, both of which took place in 2019.
When they married, Kaulitz became a stepfather to Klum's four children. She shares daughter Leni, 19, with ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore and Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14, with ex-husband Seal. (Klum and Seal were married from 2005 to 2014.)
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz haven't shied away from PDA since they first sparked their romance. The Project Runway alum and the Tokyo Hotel guitarist were first spotted in March 2018, leaving arm-in-arm from a Lorraine Schwartz launch party. Klum's romance with Kaulitz quickly heated up and he popped the question in December 2018. […]
“[Tom’s] amazing,” Klum said exclusively We weekly in January 2022 from her husband. 'I'm sure it's not easy coming into an immediate family and suddenly having four children and teenagers. Sure, when they were younger, they were easier. Every age brings its challenges.”
Klum also gave insight into her past relationships during Wednesday's episode “Call Her Daddy,” revealing what she looks for in a romantic partner.
“Look at my past, I don't have a type. I was with someone who was bald, very old, long hair, skinny,” the model said. “Their personalities have also been very, very different. Ultimately, you want someone you feel comfortable with. … Someone who makes you feel good and sees you too. And I'll keep seeing you.”
