Supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband, Seal, certainly had reason to be thankful yesterday. According to Klum’s website, the German-born star of Bravo’s “Project Runway” gave birth to a healthy baby boy the day before Thanksgiving.
According to the website, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel was born at 5:01 p.m. in Los Angeles and weighed in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces.
“He is healthy, beautiful and looks just like his mother,” according to the post signed by Seal.
The newest arrival joins older brother, 1-year-old, Henry Guenther Ademola Dashtu Samuel (the couple’s first child together) and older sister, Klum’s 2-year-old daughter, Leni, from a previous relationship with Formula One manager Flavio Briatore.
In announcing Johan’s arrival on Klum’s website Seal wrote: “To our children, a brother/ To our parents, a grandson/ To my wife and I, a son/ To our family, a blessing.”
The baby is the third child for the supermodel and her British singer husband, but they have already announced they would like to continue to add to their family. In August Klum told “Life” magazine, “We want to have a lot of children. (Seal) always says that he finds me the most beautiful when I’m pregnant.”
In less than three years their family has more than doubled. The couple began dating in February 2004, while Klum was pregnant with Leni, and married in May 2005 on a beach near the singer’s home in Mexico.
In other star baby news… Court TV host Ashleigh Banfield and her husband, businessman Howard Gould, just announced they are expecting their second child in late spring.
Banfield who currently co-hosts Court TV’s daily trial coverage program “Banfield & Ford: Courtside” (you may know her better for her days as an anchor and reporter for NBC News and MSNBC) and her husband are already parents to a 1-year-old son, Jay Fisher Gould.
The Emmy-winning journalist met her husband in 2002 while she was walking her dog near New York City’s Central Park. The couple married two years later in Banfield’s native Ontario.
