Heidi Klum’s Kids Are All Grown Up as They Join Her for Crazy Pizza Anniversary Party

Heidi Klum had her favorite plus-ones by her side on Thursday night — and honestly, the photos say it all. Her kids aren’t kids anymore.

The 53-year-old supermodel and TV host celebrated the third anniversary of her New York restaurant, Crazy Pizza, and she wasn’t posing solo on the red carpet. Leni, 22, Henry, 21, and Johan, 19, all showed up to back their mom, looking every bit the grown-ups they’ve quietly become while the rest of us weren’t paying attention.

It was one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. One minute Heidi’s kids were the little ones trailing behind her at premieres, and the next they’re standing next to her at her own business milestone, taller than her in some shots, totally at ease in front of the cameras. Time flies, and Thursday night in New York City was proof.

The party marked three years since Crazy Pizza opened its doors in Manhattan, and Heidi clearly wanted the people closest to her there for it. Her children have watched the restaurant go from an idea to a full-blown hotspot, and this anniversary felt like a family affair as much as a business one.

A Family Affair at Crazy Pizza

Crazy Pizza isn’t just another celebrity restaurant venture for Heidi — it comes with a real family backstory. She opened the New York spot with her ex, Flavio Briatore, who is Leni’s father, three years ago. And yes, that detail still surprises people: the former couple went into business together long after their relationship ended, and the restaurant has been thriving ever since.

“Leni’s biological dad Flavio, he asked me to be partners with him and his pizza ventures,” Heidi told People about getting involved. “So this is the first one in America, with more to come.”

She didn’t hide her excitement about how the place turned out, either. “It looks so cute,” she said. “I’m so happy with it… I think it looks amazing. It’s super chic. And obviously the food is amazing, and we leave it to the Italians.”

That last line is so Heidi. She knows what she doesn’t know, and she’s happy to hand the kitchen over to the people who do it best. The result is a spot that’s equal parts stylish and laid-back — very on-brand for a woman who has spent three decades making glamour look effortless.

Thursday’s anniversary bash drew a crowd well beyond the family. Sofia Vergara showed up, because of course she did — the two have been friends and fellow TV personalities for years, and Sofia rarely misses a good New York night out. Kyle MacLachlan, Taylor Momsen, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, and jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz were also spotted at the celebration, turning a restaurant anniversary into a genuine celebrity gathering.

But let’s be honest: the real stars of the night were the Klum kids standing next to their mom.

Leni, Henry and Johan Are All Grown Up

Leni, now 22, has been carving out her own lane in the modeling world for a few years now, and she’s done it with a confidence that feels entirely her own. She grew up in front of cameras — how could she not, with Heidi as a mom? — but she’s managed to build a career that stands apart from her mother’s shadow. Watching her at the Crazy Pizza party, poised and polished, it was clear she’s not “Heidi’s daughter” anymore. She’s Leni Klum, full stop.

Henry, 21, and Johan, 19, tend to keep lower profiles than their older sister, which makes their appearance together all the more notable. The brothers have mostly stayed out of the spotlight, popping up at family events rather than chasing fame on their own. That’s probably by design. Heidi has always been protective about how much of her kids’ lives play out in public, even as she’s shared plenty of sweet family moments over the years.

Heidi shares Henry, Johan, and 17-year-old daughter Lou with her ex-husband Seal. Lou didn’t appear in the anniversary photos, but at 17, she’s still the youngest of the bunch — and the one most shielded from the cameras. Give it a couple of years, and she’ll probably be the one stealing the show at the next big family night out.

There’s something genuinely sweet about seeing all three older kids show up for their mom’s business win. They didn’t have to be there. They could have been anywhere else on a Thursday night in New York. But they chose to stand beside Heidi at her restaurant, celebrating something she built. That’s not a photo op — that’s family.

From Supermodel to Restaurant Owner

Heidi’s pivot into the restaurant world makes more sense than it might seem at first glance. Yes, she’s the woman who ruled runways, hosted Project Runway for years, and became a fixture on America’s Got Talent. But she’s also someone who’s always had an eye for a good business idea, and food — good, simple, well-made food — is a passion she’s talked about for years.

Crazy Pizza leans into that. The concept is Italian at its core: thin, crispy pizzas, fresh ingredients, and a room that feels more like a chic dinner party than a stuffy restaurant. Heidi’s touch is all over the vibe — stylish without being pretentious, fun without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you can picture her holding court at a big table, laughing over a bottle of wine, kids and friends all around.

Three years in, the New York location has clearly found its footing. Anniversary parties are easy to throw; surviving three years in Manhattan’s brutal restaurant scene is the actual achievement. And Heidi’s already hinting there’s more to come, with additional locations in the works as part of the Crazy Pizza expansion in America.

It’s also a neat full-circle moment for her partnership with Flavio. Plenty of exes can barely manage a polite hello at a school event, let alone run a business together. Heidi and Flavio turned their shared history into something productive — and something their daughter can be proud of. That’s not the usual celebrity ex story, and it’s kind of refreshing.

The Queen of Halloween Is Just Getting Started

Of course, no Heidi Klum appearance in late October comes without one burning question: what’s the Halloween costume going to be?

Heidi has earned her title as the Queen of Halloween honestly, year after year, with costumes that have become legendary. Who could forget the worm? Or the peacock, the Jessica Rabbit transformation, the incredibly detailed prosthetics that took hours in the makeup chair? Her annual Halloween party is one of the most anticipated celebrity events of the year, and her costumes regularly break the internet.

With Halloween landing this weekend, fans are already buzzing about what she’ll pull out of the hat this time. The Crazy Pizza party was essentially the warm-up act — a glamorous family night before the real spectacle begins. If history is any guide, whatever she wears will be bigger, weirder, and more committed than anything else on the celebrity circuit.

And here’s a fun thought: now that her kids are grown, will any of them join her for the Halloween festivities? Leni in particular seems like a natural for a show-stopping costume moment alongside her mom. Whether they show up in matching looks or Heidi goes solo as usual, you can bet the photos will be everywhere by Sunday morning.

For now, though, Thursday night belonged to Crazy Pizza — and to a mom standing proudly between her grown-up kids, celebrating three years of a restaurant that, by all accounts, is just getting started. Heidi Klum has played a lot of roles over the years: model, host, judge, designer, mom. Add successful restaurateur to the list, with her family right there cheering her on.

Not bad for a Thursday night in New York.
