I don’t know what to think about this story. As we all know, Heidi Klum filed for separation from husband Seal after seven years of marriage. Heidi and Seal have four children together, including Heidi’s daughter from an earlier relationship, whom Seal adopted. The split seemed to be a shock to everyone except perhaps Heidi herself, and I honestly thought that both parties would take some time off before jumping in the sack with anyone else.
Well this week’s issues of Enquirer and In Touch have stories about Heidi moving on already with Thomas Hayo, who is one of her co-judges for “Germany’s Next Top Model.” Here’s his photo as well as the Enquirer’s account of a blossoming romance:
Nearly divorced supermodel Heidi Klum is wasting no time moving on!
Just months after her shocking breakup with Grammy winner Seal, Heidi was spotted getting VERY snuggly with her “Germany’s Next Top Model” co-star Thomas Hayo, say insiders.
The 40-ish, new York marketing exec and co-judge on Klum’s newest showbiz venture was spotted feeding Heidi a nibble form a fork by a lakeside set in Torrance, Calif.
He gazed deeply into her eyes and even caressed her shapely thigh as the pair sat together at lunch.
“They wanted to keep their romance a secret, but for staffers on the set, it was pretty obvious,” said an insider. “They are flirting and act like a couple.”
After her recent split from Seal, the 38-year-old stunner said she was ready to “move forward” with her life, but co-workers say it looks more like “fast forward.”
“He was all over her,” said the source, “and Heidi didn’t seem to mind a bit!”
The mega-model brought her father, Guenther Klum, to the set to meet Hayo, and they shook hands warmly.
During taping, the cuddly canoodling continued on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Midway when Hayo leaned close to the beauty, his arm on the arm of her chair and his shoulder pressing against hers.

This week’s issue of In Touch is running almost the same exact story about and describes it a “rebound romance” despite the fact that Heidi and Thomas have known each other for a decade, which means that they’ve been friends for longer than Heidi has known Seal. Taking that factoid into account, wouldn’t it make sense that these two would’ve acted upon any conceivable mutual attraction many years ago before Heidi even got married? I guess it’s possible that Thomas was taken a decade ago, and he and Heidi may have nonetheless been attracted to each other this whole time. Now that Heidi’s (not really) single, maybe they decided to make a go of it. Still, it seems too soon because Heidi hasn’t even filed for divorce yet.
Interestingly enough, Thomas was was also Heidi’s “date” to last year’s Halloween bash when Seal wasn’t around. Here’s Hayo with another judge from “Germany’s Next Top Model,” Thomas Rath. Two judges named Thomas on the same show? Sounds like a nightmare.

Heidi isn’t someone who can be alone for long. I mean she got with Seal while 6 months pregnant for heaven sake. I’m not judging but this doesn’t surprise me.
They make a cute couple (though I don’t know if this is true). Hope he likes to dress up for Halloween!
What on earth is she wearing in the first photo. Seems a bit soon to start but I could believe it’s been “on” for a long time.
OMG, she literally has the worst taste in clothes! Everytime I see a picture of her I wonder if she owns a mirror.
Don’t these people need some Me time after the end of a relationship just process things, grief whatever
Oy- does this mean she’s going to have an army of children with him too?
I never gEt this too soon bit. They separated months ago. By the time someone announces a formal separation the marriage has been fractured privately for a long time. A passionate love affair can do a lot with moving on after a split rather than focusing on the ex and heartbreak. People, no matter what they say, are usually looking for someone after a split or when single. No one needs to judge people for their decisions while sitting in he comfy home with their loved one. Heidi is a good mom and person. We don’t need to decide for her what is best.
You are absolutely right. By the time of a divorce announcement, the relationship was broken for awhile. Please nobody is talking smack about Seal for moving on with Delta Goodrem. Let Heidi live her life. Who know how happy she really was with Seal or how long she was sadden by his behavior.
I agree. For all we know she might’ve felt alone for a long time despite still being married. Plus maybe she needs someone to show her some attention and make her feel desirable again. I don’t think it’s too soon. JLo and Casper…yes…she rushes from one relationship to another so fast it makes your head spin. Not saying H likes being alone, but JLo seems desperate and I don’t get the same vibe of desperation from Heidi.
Their last baby was only 15 months old when they broke up, so they can’t have been working on their marriage for that long (or they/she decided to have a fourth baby while no longer being in love anymore). Either way, I find that a little immature
Of course it is too soon, what a question. But clocks go differently in Hollywood, much, much faster. I am so happy I am not a celeb, because around me, there are true feelings. Must be terrible to be that shallow.
maybe she needs some male attention right now, who knows. or maybe he’s a good gay guy friend?
She is / was a serial dater .. she is never alone.. be it marriage or boyfriends. I am sure they started dating or at least being very friendly before the divorce started .. like they say when you work with someone all the time.. things happen when you don’t expect it to.. happens every day.
It was a joke to fool the paparazis,who were on the set.and some german women are here very sad…rumours say that thomas hayo like men and not women!
I like Heidi and I doubt there is anything serious going on here. I’m glad that Heidi can find some fun somewhere; I think she deserves it and I would guess that Seal was cheating on her for awhile before the separation happened.
For someone who is such a high profile model, she has the absolutely worst taste in clothes.
See now I am beginning to wonder if all the stories about the accusations against Seal were run because Heidi was trying to cover the fact she was having an affair with this guy.
I mean I am sure the stories about Seal were somewhat truthful as he has been known to be surly at times. It seemed her camp was really quick to go on the “he’s a violent man” track and it seemed to me they were hiding something.
I doubt that Heidi is having an affair or anything with him. She seems always so controlling, she plans everything – so, I think it is just a stunt to get back at Seal. Heidi Klum wouldn’t probably dip her pen in company ink 🙂 And are there actually women outhere who find this man attractive? I can’t make it through an episode of GNTM without rolling my eyes over and over again because of this guy. He is trying so hard to come across as cool and looks so ridiculous.
I absolutely agree with you. T.H. is really strange person and also it seems that he can’t control his body in a normal way (posture, etc.). Plus, it seems, like he would very like to profit from relationship with Heidi. But i think, they deserve each other. By the way, the only man for Heidi is her father, who controlls all her business, etc, as i recently heard. So she tend more to strong man on her side, but such a man can’t have always a father in law by his side, who’s trying to control him too and is always strong present in their lives. Good luck if it’s true, but I don’t think it would last..
hahaha… you are so right! TH annoys the hell out of me with the way he stands or sits. It might sound weird to anyone who hasn’t seen the show, but his posture is just off…
He is dressed like a teenage boy (I’m almost allegic to the wrapped jacket around his waist, the rolled up sleeves of his t-shirts, the cowboy hats, the open boots…).
And I absolutely agree with you about Heidi and her father. I guess her father is an alpha-male (just the kind of men she is attracted to), she comes across as rather controlling and dominant – so it is probably very hard for a man to find his place in this hierarchy. Heidi Klum is a brand and if you don’t fit in – you’re out.
Isn’t it funny that her public image in US and in Germany seem to be so dissimilar? Before I moved to Germany I always thought Heidi was this really nice person (the image that is sold from Project runway or the US media), then I got to see GNTM and read the German media and you really get a bitchy vibe from her. It’s a such a different person that it’s a bit creppy. To not say that when she speaks German her voice thouches the unbearable 😉 About the affair with this Thomas I always thought he was gay as every other GNTM judge. Otherwise, they can just be really good friends. Anyway, I agree that she (and her father) seem to be too much of control freaks so whatever comes out of this will be sold as a beautiful story.
@minime A couple of years ago Heidi also had glorifying press in Germany. The press loved her and so did the people, but then she started to sell out her marriage. She constantly blabbed where she had sex with Seal, that they had sex dates… stuff like that. And people didn’t like that. I guess, that’s what made Seal mad after the break up. As long as everything was fine (or seemed to be) Heidi was talking nonstop about their marriage, but when it went down, Heidi became mute.
Her image suffered and so did the ratings of the show, maybe the whole TH-thing is just an act to get the ratings up again. And to show the world (and Seal) that she is not sitting home and crying her eyes out.
Do you really thing TH is gay? He never set off my gay-dar. I thought he is just not cute or hot or fun enough to be gay – oh these clichés 🙂
Gast: LOL I think my gay-dar is sometimes oversensitive 😉 But maybe we are sharing clichés because for me he is kinda of hot with his cold posture (I know I know, shame on me). But my German is not so perfect and I still get a hard time understanding everything without subtitles, so that might favor his charm. Still, I do agree that he comes out a bit like a poser and a try-hard. Thanks for clarifying me with this Heidi story with the German media…I always asked myself why was it so different! 🙂
Good for her. nothing cures an aching heart like some great mindnumbing sex with a hot guy. and yes, I am speaking from experience.
why would it be too soon? hasn’t it been months since they separated? i’m pretty sure seal must have been looking. because men are usually quick to have wandering eyes right after a break up. they justify it by saying it’ll ease the pain. so why shouldn’t women do the same? more power to heidi
Interesting story – especially as everybody was (and still is apparently) so eager to bash Seal for the divorce…
Everyone is different. My partner and I separated in January and he is on a long weekend with his new piece, and has been out banging anything that will give him the time of day. I on the other hand have had no interest and want to get this shit done before I consider looking for some one new. Everyone is different.
He’ll get what he wants and then leave. Why would he want to get into the mess that is her life?
I hope he uses plenty of protection.
Their marriage could have been in the sh**er for a long time now. I say good for Heidi. Best way to get over one guy is to get under another!
Am I the only one who thought the Enquirer’s report of Heidi’s “shapely thigh” laughable? She’s a twig!
He’s a lot hotter than Seal (who isn’t?) but he sets off my flame-dar.
Ain’t NO WAY I’d bail on Seal for this dude. And yeah, it’s too soon (if true).
Speaking from experience, it took me two years to “normalise” my two children: the first year was devoted to leveling-off my son; the second to leveling-off my daughter.
So yeah, too soon. Particularly with all the confused kids involved.
I dunno…I like Heidi, but would some new guy want to take her over with 4 kids on her hands? That’s taking on a LOT, plus he would have to deal with Seal being the real dad. About Heidi’s clothes, I agree, other than her red carpet or her event nights, she seems to dress without much taste. At least in the photo above with the long dress and tennis shoe look, it’s not the best outfit I’ve seen for someone who is a model and can have virtually anything she wants…
I’m not suprised about this at all! Seal is a fool, making an honorable woman out of some slut who got pregnant by an old man, old man who denied being responsible. You then go ahead and adopt the bastard! O_o Serves you right Seal.
