Heidi Klum, 40, is German. I know you know this, but I’m reminding you because most Germans are nudists when judged by American standards. I lived there for years and I became somewhat of a nudist too. Not to the point where I would go topless on the beach, but when you’re at an awesome coed sauna and the only way to enjoy it is sans clothes, (they will tell you to take your bathing suit off or get kicked out), you get naked and you get used to it. I love telling that to my friends and seeing them get all wide-eyed. So if you’ve heard this story before just humor me. Now, when I’m in the locker room at my US gym and a woman goes into the bathroom stall to change, I find it bizarre.
In that respect, Heidi Klum showing her nice rack and taut bod at the beach seems pretty normal to me, if only there weren’t cameramen there. (We had to blur the photos due to our advertisers.) Heidi absolutely knows that the paps are there, because she called them. She’s in Mexico with her latest boytoy, a 27 year-old art dealer named Vito Schnabel. Schnabel is best known for dating Demi Moore in 2012 and then dumping her when she became embarrassing. He likes his women older, famous and rich and he surely enjoys the recognition and trappings that go along with that. Schnabel doesn’t want to be too obvious in his ambition, so Heidi is probably perfect for him. We know what she’s doing but the camera is sufficiently far away that there’s the pretense of a private moment.
Heidi just happened to be topless at the beach and lo and behold there were paps there. How could she have ever known? This isn’t the first time this has happened. But I do give her somewhat of a pass because she’s German. When Heidi takes her top off, she doesn’t think it’s scandalous at all (and it shouldn’t be) she just realizes that she’s going to get more press for it. Hence this story. Get it, Heidi.

‘nice rack and taut bod’…where?
You seriously don’t see it? I’m not fan of Heidi (too much Project Runway) but I will concede her bod is pretty amazing.
I’m sorry i am no hater but i saw the unblurred version on DM and NO.
Oh, I admit I didn’t see her rack but the rest of her looks pretty darn fit and youthful. As for her top, I tend to give her a pass since she is the mom of 3 or 4 kids.
Tough crowd.
I think she looks incredible.
For a woman who’s had 4 children she looks fantastic. You can’t expect a 40yr old mother of 4 who longer works the runway to look like a 24yr old VS Angel.
No i don’t expect that but when it is described and ‘great rack and taut ‘ i must disagree. But yes for a woman her age and 4 kids she looks better than some half her age.
I think she is beautiful but only in the way that ALL women are beautiful. From a more technical perpective, she was never all that. Not even for her body type which thankfully was not the usual waif look.And the fuss over her legs was always bizarre. They werent powerful like Beyonce, shapely like Rihanna or even long and lean like Naomis. Completely average legs on an average body.
She looks good for a middle aged woman and for her body type. We all come in different shapes and sizes. Heidi is tall and naturally slender. For her body type she looks nice. I personally don’t look at her body and go wow. I appreciate more curvaceous body types, but Heidi does not have that type of body. I feel the same way about Miranda Kerr who has absolutely no curves (until she got breast implants).
I feel like this a trolly comment. To come to a female oriented site and then immediately start body shaming a perfectly lovely figure seems like a cry for attention. Even more so than being topless at the beach.
You know what you find at the beach?
Beach BALLS!
Right on. Beach balls everywhere!
I think she looks fantastic!
Those are called real 40 year old breasts as opposed to cut open, stuffed with round foreign objects and stitched up so that they practically sit on her clavicles until she’s 95.
Wow, he sure gets around doesn’t he? I’m not sure he’s long-term relationship material but maybe at this point Heidi’s not interested in that anyway.
I’m trying not to be squeamish about the topless shots, being the prudish American I am, but they really do strike me as gratuitous and highly staged. Ugh.
but he is fug.
Think Heidi is gorgeous…middle-aged, really? 40 is so young…her body is slammin’ for ANY age.
And, yes, he IS fug. I will never understand the appeal of someone so much younger…I want someone who’s on my level emotionally and life-learned lessons’ wise.
Adding a ditto and another Ugh to the staged pap shots.
Yep. He’s only 27? He needs to lay off the cocktails and hit the gym.
Well, I don’t think 40 is young… whats miggle-aged then, 60?
She’s 40, she’s in the middle of her life- nothing wrong with that.
Yes, he does. So is he an upgrade from “The Help” or is he a downgrade because he likes cougars?
I live in Northern California and have seen naked ladies at the beach for as long as I can remember, but when a woman takes her bathing suit top off and leaves her bottoms on it always struck me as an ego thing. Like, if you really just want to feel naked and free in a beautiful natural setting, that’s totally fine by me, but if you just take off the top it makes me think you just want everyone to look at your boobs. “Nudist” to me means naked, not topless so all the hot guys and jealous girls will ogle your chest. Heidi is no exception.
at baker beach in San Francisco, it’s the men who are naked, and because it’s usually cool, they might have a sweater on, but no bottoms. probably similar to what you are describing without the jealous girls 🙂
Or maybe they don’t want tan lines?
Exactly. I think it’s kinda half -axed. If you’re going to take it off, do so. I also live in Northern California and have hit the nude beaches more times than I can count. Not a big deal. And there are Waaaay more nude beaches up and down the coast. Baker beach is one of many. I’ve been to the sauna with co-workers and nuded down. I don’t see the reason for embarrassment. There’s only a teeny scrap of fabric that differentiates being clothed on the beach from being nude on the beach.
well, i dont feel comfortable taking off my bottoms, i dont go to nude beaches on the regular. it has nothing to do with making people jealous or making my boobs the focus. not everybodys comfortable being totally naked and these comments make me feel like you’re being very judgemental. just b/c youre comfortable being totally naked in front of strangers doesn’t mean i am. different strokes for different folks.
Well. Well. Well.
Yeah, I find it a bit funny (not “ha-ha” funny but cute-funny) when I see women in the gym locker room hiding behind towels or going into bathroom stalls to get changed. I mean, I’m not parading around naked everywhere but I’m comfortable enough to strip down now and then, when it’s necessary / obligatory.
One of my friends is the exact opposite, she can’t even see nudity on TV, she gets so embarrassed…alas for her, she refuses to watch Game of Thrones because of that. 😛
ahhh but Jason Momoa’s ass is a masterpiece!
Ha. ^^This!
IKR? Her loss, seriously her loss.
Yes! More for us!
I AM that person that is hiding in the changing room at the gym.
I’m just not a Naked Person. Please don’t judge me for it.
If Heidi needs to be embarrassed about anything, it’s her latest choice in boy toys. Oh, and many of her fashion choices as well.
TOK, I’m also not a Naked Person, and neither is my husband. He came home mortified one day after going to the gym and running into my boss at the time, who apparently IS a Naked Person and had no problem chitchatting with my husband while fully in the buff. He said the image of my boss…naked, waddling around and casually chatting is sadly seared into his brain for eternity.
@Kiddo-True. She could do better.
@esmom-GROSSSSSSSSSS. That makes me almost mad. Put some clothes on, dude! Stop imposing your nakedness on people!
I’m really not a prude. I have no problem getting nekkid when it’s time for sexin’ or if I’m showering (in my own apartment) but I just don’t feel a need to stroll around, throwing my nudity in the face of innocent strangers.
Hehehehehe I would never judge anyone for not wanting to strip nekkid all the time. I’m not a nudist by any means – and I do have some really weird hang-ups – but I guess I’m just not as fussed about someone seeing my breasts in a gym locker room or at a beach.
I want to be like that, LadyMTL, I do. I want to feel the freedom that comes with your blasé attitude about nudity but I just can’t do it. Help me..help me be ok with nakedness!
LOL…I think maybe part of my ease is because I live alone in a non-airconditioned apartment so in the summer I literally just wander around in my underwear bottoms. (No one can see in to my place, thankfully).
At first I did feel a bit shy about it but I gradually realized that there’s nothing to be ashamed of, that I love my breasts / body – so to speak – and that we all come into the world naked so what’s wrong with occasionally showing some flesh? It’s not at all a sexual thing for me, btw. I just find it more comfortable than wearing clothes, especially freaking bras, hahahaha.
Same here. In addition to not being at my ideal weight, I have a full back of tattoos and people look to long. Fine when you’re in a sundress at a flea market, not so wonderful in a room full of skinny girls who just finished a spin class. Add to that, I’m a germaphobe. I see people sweaty sitting on benches and I have no desire to go near said bench, Changing standing up in the bathroom seems better somehow.
At home however, I spend the majority of the time walking around in a tank top and underware. I’ll do things naked around the house but I need my own space for nudity.
I’m not judging you for it Kitten. But at my gym, there are only three stalls in the bathroom. So if I go in there and have to wait in line because someone is changing in the stall instead of one of the FIVE changing rooms in the locker room, I totally judge them for that. I have to PEE dammit!
I’m fine being naked at home, but I feel a bit odd when it comes to being nude around strangers.
A lot of my friends go to Korean spas in LA, and they do the group bath thing with a hard scrub/massage afterwards. Supposedly it is great for your skin, is very affordable and has lovely tradition tied into it…but I just can’t be down with the many-naked-people-in-the-same-bathwater thing. I just….I can’t do that. Can’t do it at spas like Burke Williams, either.
Meh, after being in a wedding at a nudist camp?/colony whatever and seeing the Preacher in nothing but a bow tie and running shoes, this is nothing.
Lol blue rosannamarie, that’s quite the visual. 😀
ahahah why bother with shoes though!!
He was probably going for a run!
How’s THAT for a visual? LOL
Whoa. Funny. I had a coworker once who was an enthusiastic nudist and he had a photo in his office of himself and some friends sitting at a bar in some nude beach resort (all you could see were their backs). All I could think of was that I hoped they sanitized the stools!
I thought the nudists’ golden rule was to always carry a towel on which to sit.
mayamae, I didn’t really encourage my co-worker to give me details on his nudist exploits, hence my unawareness of that very practical rule!
Amazeballs.
The biggest naturist resort in Europe is in my country and tourist used to have sex there all the time. But then the authorities tried to stop them and the number of tourists ( mostly Germans) dropped drastically.
Is going topless on the beach really so unusual in the states?
Not only is it not usual in the US, I think it might be illegal.
black’s beach in san diego is clothing optional and then there are some private hot springs places that are, as well [ie, northern CA has Harbin hotsprings that has been around for decades….]. I’m not sure of the history of black’s beach-SD historically is a pretty conservative city, but somehow got a public beach designated as clothing optional.
Anyway, the problem in the US, imo, is that there is always a contingent of pervy people and skeevy folks…so it’s not just ‘cultural/meh’ topless sunbathers like on the coast of the med or something in europe…instead, you get the nudity cultural baggage of the US. I have gone to the aforementioned places in the US (and there are others, as well) but I ended up wearing my suit b/c of the pervy factor. Then again, you will see families and kids, mixed in with couples, etc.
In the us, it’s so skewed-some people cannot dissociate nudity from s*xuality.
blue marie, a naked wedding? seriously? We need an essay on that experience. Were all the guests nude also. Honestly, I’m fascinated.
What do you want to know? I don’t mind answering anything.
The couple that got married were mostly nudists (had work clothes but that was about it) and they preferred to walk around their home naked, so I was prepared for the nudity before I made it to the colony. (people did live there year round, mostly over 60 yrs old) The people were really nice but they ask that you don’t gawk or make the residents/guests uncomfortable.
Back to the wedding though. It was held on set of steps overlooking a lake you see where this is going right? The Preacher stood 3-4 steps above my friends, which put his junk right in my eye line. (he was an older gentleman, very odd guy) He started off by telling everyone he wore the purple bow tie to “fancy it up” and the tennis shoes so his feet wouldn’t burn. I was the MOH and the BM was right beside me and he was large (package wise) so the only place I could comfortably look was to the left (I looked that way A LOT) Once the wedding was over there was a cookout (cook wore a towel due to too much grease splatter) and drinking, dancing. It’s odd to see so many people (different shapes and sizes) dancing while naked. There was a hot tub and pool but you had to be naked to get in. After making sure they checked the chlorine levels regularly I did go swimming (it was hot!) It ended up being a fun experience and something I can cross off my bucket list. The couple that married didn’t end up making it, but the pictures, well those still live on.
Fantastic story. Love it!
Man, if I were digging for gold-diggers,* they’d be a lot more beautiful than Vito. Yes, I feel bad for saying that. Yes, I still said it.
*Not that he’s not *already* born of money and connections…
Vito schnabel is the son of the artist and film maker Julian schnabel. He is not a gold digger necessarily, by that i mean he comes from a very rich family.
Yeah, he doesn’t really need Heidi Klum for either money or fame.
Yes, hence the point of the *.
Maybe he’s just a nice guy! (Or he’s hung like a horse)!
I’m guessing the latter. I’ve heard he’s insufferable.
I am German and therefore used to seeing topless people in the park in summer, but here it just looks like a photo op and has a taste of desperate.
I agree, Trillian, I apologize for this cultural anomaly here in America. The land of the free and the judgmentally uptight!
Hi Trillian, I’m German too. Mittlerweile ist das sehr große Verzweiflung. Eines Tages googeln die armen Kinder ihre Mutter und finden dann solche Bilder.
so…? Her children are used to her mum being a model that is walking around half-naked.
The funny thing about nudists or topless women at the beach, mostly in Europe as it’s so uncommon in the US, it that it is very rarely the hot bodies that are basking in the sun. My experience (and that of my sons who were seriously scarred by it) is that most of the naked folks and topless women were well over fifty, I’m talking grandparents here, and had what most be people would find to be revolting bodies–hairy, saggy, wrinkled, blemished, scarred and god knows what else.
Revolting bodies? Seriously?
By 50, they’ve probably reached the point that they’re comfortable with their bodies. If you’re 50+ and not sporting a few wrinkles (and scars), I’m personally going to wonder what the hell you’ve actually done in your life. Wrinkles and scars are par the course. (As is a bit of sag and hair, in all fairness). If you’re revolted by that… Damn, you know? What are you going to think of your body when you hit that age? It strikes me a bit sad to use such a harsh word (as in, one that implies physical sickness) to describe something that’s only natural.
A bit more comfort with one’s own body wouldn’t do a LOT of people amiss.
Other people at the beach probably phoned the paps on their cell phone. They know who will pay for the tip off, a win-win. Heidi didn’t necessarily call them.
He’s got love handles and the beginnings of a pot belly at the age of 27. He better get his act together or his days of dating the rich and famous won’t last too long.
LOL! Because regular people have paps’ phone numbers 😉
Anywho, she posed naked in a magazine at least once. She doesn’t care who sees her naughty bits. I’m not scandalized by nudity and she has a nice body, so whatevs.
In mexico? And there happened to be a photographer near enough to get there while they were still at the beach?
I don’t really see that as a nice rack. I know she is (was) a super model but those boobs are heading south and they look a bit sad and saggy. The bony chest soens’t help either, Sorry but i’m not a fan of topless women on the beach. I find it attention seeking and a bit desperate.
Oh Paola, please, please never have daughters!!
Why? All daughters go topless on a beach?
@Paola: who knows? no one can tell what his/her kids will do! so maybe yours will!
Well, I’ll say one thing – her bod’s a lot tauter than his. A spare tire & moobs at 27? Ewww
Seriously. What’s the point of banging a 27-year-old if he doesn’t have a tight body? I don’t get it.
I guess this is de riquer to prove that you still have “it” as 40 arrives. That being said, I would find a cuter version than this guy. Wonder if he’s shown her his art works?
Even an enthusiastic nudist such as myself can smell the pap set up in this pics ” Im still young, and sexy, look at me, look.at.meeee”
Ahahaha, I really had to laugh at your account of how saunas work over here. It’s completely true, you’re not allowed to wear your swimsuit in them (you can cover up with a towel though, we’re not ALL nudists). Infact I was really perturbed when I went into a sauna in the UK and people did wear them. Ah, the beauty of cultural differences!
Nudists? Are we? I don’t know, maybe by other cultures’ standards but really, a boob is a boob is a boob. It’s no big deal but it’s also not like we ALL love being naked in front of people.
And this is a better look for Heidi than when she’s dressed. Her taste in clothes is atrocious so I’m all for it. Take it off!
Seriously you have to give it to her on her body. 40 years old with four kids and no cellulite. Wow! I am also almost 40 with four kids and I work out all the time plus watch my diet carefully. I am thin enough but I gots me lots of cellulite all over my upper thigh. I tell myself everyone does. Ha! She disproves my theory.
seems too staged, try hard..
wow apparently we go with the same username 🙂
nah, shes just a free spirit and doesnt give an eff what other people think, that’s what i like about her
1st: for how long has she been 40??? isn’t she stopped VS at 40 and after a while divorced Seal at again 40 (different years folks!) and now again years later she is still 40???? wooow those 40 are lasting for years now!
and second: why is he a Toy Boy isn’t that dismissing that a grown women with only (cough cough!- 13 years of an age gap with a man can live a real relationship with him ? Why do we have to label him a toy boy for this reason? Was Angelina Jolie a toy girl to 12 years older Brad Pitt or is Charlize Theron a Toy Girl to 15 years older over-baked Sean penn?
I just find the expression insulting and oddly particularly for the older woman involved.
ok…i’ll take the hit for being a prude…
you have young kids.
stop prancing about half naked with a boy…
you look like a fool.
i’m sure your children are embarassed…
yeah, sure – she has a fit body.
so what when she behaves like a teenager?
Goimg topless on the beach is normal and women her age do it all the time. Why would her kids be embarassed?
she could get herself a hotter younger piece. meh on this guy.
re the nudity – it’s silly that anyone would have a problem with this. however, i do have to say that i have a problem with some locker room nudity. i used to go to a really nice gym where a lot of women walked around naked everywhere, sat on chairs naked, and lounged watching tv or reading magazines naked, despite there being free bathrobes and towels available. AND they would lotion their legs while naked, putting the leg on the locker or a bench, stretching really wide. THAT was horrifying.
ahaha Yes i had the same experience! The lotion on their stretched legs on a bench was horryfing. Once i saw a woman hairdrying her hair completely naked. It was a bit weird for me because you know… what’s the point on doing it naked? I get the nudity when you’re wet because you just came out of the shower.. and even the lotion i get… but drying the hair?
Lol, I had a naked hair drying lady a my gym, too. Sometimes I’d cut my workout short of extend it a bit so I could time my shower/hair drying to NOT coincide with her!
hahaha! i forgot all about the hair drying in the nude! that was a regular thing. dude, i’m just trying to get dress, please take your a$$ out of my face, gross.
When I started reading your comment, I thought you were going to say she was using the blow dryer on her nether parts. What a horrific picture.
@mayamae
Now that i think of it I recall something like that.
horrific picture. yes. Thanks. 😀
@Ag
Some women also bend over NAKED when they dry their hair.
That’s mean. Just wear some underwear at least!
THIS happens at the gym I go to as well! Unfortunately- I work at a University/Hospital and we have a really nice gym. The women doing this in our locker room are colleagues. Older colleagues. Respected colleagues. Professors, doctors, surgeons, EVPs. I don’t have a problem with nudity, but if I’m going to have a serious meeting with you at 8:30 am the next day, I do not want to see your nekkid hoo-ha hiked up on a chair while you lotion your leg with your boobies floppin around! Just wrap a towel around you! Also, I do not want to have a conversation while you’re doing all of the above. 🙂
On topic- Heidi looks smokin’.
the men i worked with had that problem – the nude men they saw were their superiors, some of them direct supervisors. none of them female supervisors went to that gym, thank god, or i would have died (there were only few female judges in that court, a sad commentary in the legal profession, but a nice perk for me).
Here’s a horrible story. I’m a nurse and used to work in the recovery room. Surgery and recovery room staff have to change into hospital issued scrubs while at work. A male scrub tech would tell me stories about a certain Neurosurgeon who did not wear underwear under his scrubs, and who once backed him up against the lockers while talking to him – nude from the waist down. So one day, Dr Nude was talking to his patient while leaning over the guy’s footboard and what do I see? A full moon – right there in the recovery room. It was disgusting.
that picture of them with no shirts, eeew he looks like her son. I’m sorry but at some point age does make a difference.
there are only 13 years apart. Do you think Angelina Jolie looks like Brad Pitt’s offspring too ?….
Yeah, why do men get a pass?
Hahaha, if 13 years difference = looks like your child, guess that means Amber Heard looks like Johnny Depp’s grand-daughter.
Desperate for attention and validation.
It worries me that posters DON’T think that Heidi has a rockin body. At least judging by the above photos, that woman doesn’t have any jiggle, cellulite, and actual muscle tone. She may not be your cup of tea (she’s not mine, actually) but there’s no denying that Klum has an amazing body. It makes me think that people have a completely unrealistic and unattainable standard of what a woman’s body should look like if they look at Heidi freaking Klum’s body and go ‘meh’
I’m cringing about the comments on both of their bodies. I’m a good 6 years younger than Heidi, my boyfriend is exactly his age, and neither of us are in nearly that good of shape.
Consider my comment about Klum’s boyfriend redacted.
I think a lot of the comments you’re seeing is due to snarking for snark’s sake with a dash of trolling.
I also think that we’re much, much harder on celebs than we are on regular folk.
They’re expected to look perfect all the time, unlike us poor slobs who are allowed to be a bit of a mess.
I get that its the interweb and there are always going to be trolls. Yet, models and actresses today are thinner than the generations before them, and with social and even fashion & entertainment websites women’s bodies are up to an incredible amount of scrutiny. It’s gross. It’s like the Beyonce post the other day: all the weird scrutiny about whether or not her thighs are really that skinny. Its gross. Is it just that people now expect total and complete perfection and forgot that women aren’t actually supposed to look like barbie dolls?
she looks amazing. it’s a fact no sane person can deny.
I think the comments reflect the fact that people forget what “real” bodies look like when not made up and photo shopped to death. I think Heidi’s boobs look a little saggy – and that’s wonderful because that’s what most women who have four pregnancies extremely close together would look like. There’s probably no model or former model from VS who would hold a candle to their own VS pics.
She has a need to expose her body.
She’s on a beach. you go to the beach in a tent or something?
Heidi’s definitely an egalitarian when it comes to dating. I could honestly see her dating the guy who brought her car around if she was attracted to him. She also doesn’t seem to go for the conventional good looking man. She’s also a serial monogamist. I don’t think many pregnant women date and find significant others while expecting.
She’s obviously had a tummy tuck and nursed four children but I think she looks great. Beautiful woman! I don’t like undressing in front of other people and I consider myself to have a great figure but I just can’t do it.
she has a body of a 20 year old …holding her hand.
I still miss her and Seal together. They were so sexy together. Before babies, she had big boobs. By the fourth baby, she had lost a lot of her chest. Her midsection became wider for a while right after the fourth baby and her boobs went flatter There were pictures of her on vacay fairly soon after the fourth. But her body seems to have rebounded back now after a few years. But Heidi has beautiful legs and a great figure for having four kids.
I always forget Heidi started out with darker hair and not blonde. She didn’t go blonde until much later. Here is an evolution of Heidi on the Victoria Secret runway each year from 97 to 2009.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qszBG3sdv6w
she looks so much better as a brunette. blond washes her out, imo, like it does most women
Bitch, EAT!
NO! her bodys perfect. if she gained weight, she would be flabby. shes perfectly toned and not underweight. she looks great!
