Klum, 48, took to social media to share the covers she and Leni, 17, feature prominently on. She offered thanks to the magazine and gave some meaningful praise to her daughter.
Klum had announced her pregnancy with Leni shortly before breaking up with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore; she soon after started dating musician Seal. Seal was present for Leni’s birth and Klum stresses that he is the father. Leni is no stranger to the spotlight and uses her exposure to show followers that she deals with a lot of the same appearance struggles other teens face.

With 1.2 million Instagram followers, Leni takes after her mother in more ways than one. Though her profile has numerous stylized shots, she has also used this platform to openly discuss skincare and just how much of a struggle it can be, even for those whose social media pages suggest otherwise. She shared a selfie with no makeup and no filter, showing pimples dotted around her face. But no makeup was required to get praise from followers, as comments read “Bravo for posting” and “I applaud you for showing this human side.” In her Stories, which disappear after a day, she also shared a video showing her face with acne on it and captioned it, “Bad skin. This too shall pass.”
