In 2018, Leni Klum, Heidi Klum's oldest daughter, went to Italy to see her biological father. Heidi's ex-husband Seal raised Heidi's daughter Leni as his own for all those years until the German-American supermodel married Tom Kaulitz.
Last year, pictures of Leni and her father were shown on the news. Here's everything you need to know about Leni's biological father, Flavio, an Italian businessman.
Who is the Real Father of Leni?
Flavio Briatore is Leni Klum's real father. At the beginning of 2003, the 68-year-old Italian businessman went out with Heidi Klum. After the two broke up in 2004, Leni was born.
Flavio Briatore was also the Commercial Director of the Benetton Formula One racing team, and later, he was named the MD of Benetton Formula. He was also the team leader for Renault from 2004 until 2009. Flavio left Renault in 2009 after being charged with many things.
Flavio is known as Benetton's playboy. He is also known as a soccer mogul, a nightclub owner, and, most of all, a “babe magnet.” The reason he broke up with Heidi was because of his strange personality.
Flavio is known for dating some of the most beautiful women in the world, such as Adriana Volpe, Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell, and Elle Macpherson, in addition to Heidi. After he and Heidi broke up, Heidi's ex-husband, Seal, took Leni in.

A Heartwarming Get-Together With Flavio…
In 2018, pictures of Leni with her biological father, Flavio Briatore, were shown in several news outlets. The Italian businessman reportedly had dinner with Leni and Heidi at the Cala Di Volpe hotel in Porto Cervo. They were joined by Heidi's ex-husband Sean and their three kids.
The site writes that a source said, “Everyone was happy and having fun.” Flavio also ate with the family. It's unclear if this was a one-time thing or if he'll see Leni again. Flavio talked about his relationship with his daughter in a past interview.
He said that Leni is his biological daughter, but the three of them agreed that it would make more sense for Seal to adopt her because a child needs to grow up in a family, which playboy couldn't give them. In 2016, Flavio said that his relationships with Heidi and Seal were strong.

In his last interview, Flavio said he had accepted what was happening. “A baby you never see is hard to miss. But I know that Leni hasn't been left alone.
“In the end, Flavio said, “Leni is in Seal's family, and Nathan is in mine.” Heidi Klum, a 46-year-old supermodel, is now married to Tom Kaulitz, co-founder of the rock band Tokio Hotel. They just celebrated their third wedding anniversary.
