I am in love: Heidi Klum

The 39-year-old Victoria's Secret star, who split from singer husband Seal almost a year ago, said that her love for Kristen is bolstered by the love for her four children, reported Daily Mail.

"Ja! Ich bin verliebt (Yes! I'm in love)!," Klum said in a German interview.

"That's one reasons I like him so much. He's been helping me for four years now. And he takes wonderful care of the kids. He plays with them, he protects them. I trust him," she added.

Klum, who was first romantically linked to her bodyguard in August when they were spotted vacationing together, insists they are not hiding their love.

 

"Martin is not hiding. He's just not the sort of guy looking for the spotlight. He prefers to stay in the background.

"There will always be people who will criticise whoever I live with, what kind of clothes I wear or what hairstyle I have. At the end of the day, you have to do what makes you happy. That's the rule I live by," she said.
