Heidi Klum Celebrates With Her and Seal's Son Henry at His High School Graduation

Heidi Klum and Seal's eldest son is saying "auf wiedersehen" to high school and is headed to college.

The America's Got Talent judge shared rare photos and videos of Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel at his graduation. Heidi and husband Tom Kaulitz cheered on the 18-year-old as he appeared onstage.

"CONGRATULATIONS HENRY," the proud mom wrote on Instagram June 7. "We are all sooo proud of you. You did it my beautiful boy. College here we come. SHINE BRIGHT."

The Project Runway alum, 51, also shared an image from a post-ceremony group dinner with her son and his fellow graduates from their Los Angeles prep school. She captioned the post, "Celebrating HENRY."

The new grad is the second-eldest of the four children Heidi shares with Seal. The couple, who divorced in 2014, are also parents to daughters Leni, 20, and Lou, 14, and son Johan, 17. The two have largely kept their kids out of the spotlight, although their eldest daughter has followed in her mom's footsteps to become a model.

Last year, Heidi shared a major lesson that her kids have taught her amid her parenting journey.

"To be even more patient," Heidi told E! News exclusively on the red carpet of America's Got Talent season 18 finale Sept. 27. "To have even more patience than I had before."

Of Leni and Henry, she added, "It's hard because when they're all driving around in their cars and you're constantly looking at the clock, 'When are they coming back?' It's nerve-wracking when they've become grownups and they just go off."
