Heidi Klum, 53, goes topless for sun-soaked beach swim

Heidi Klum was in her happy place as she cooled off in the ocean with her puppy, Fritz, while sporting a topless look amid her tropical vacation. The 53-year-old showcased her incredible figure in zebra-print bikini bottoms as she danced through the waves, holding Fritz over her chest. 

She completed the look with a wide-brimmed straw hat and appeared to be enjoying her time off from her busy schedule. “Finally,” she captioned the video, as fans rushed to the comment section to share the love. “Yessss sister,” wrote one, while another added: “Looking better than ever!” and a third chimed in: “You look FANTASTIC.” 

Heidi recently opened up about her changing figure, telling Us Weekly that her husband, Tom Kaulitz, had grown concerned about her. “I’ve gained weight over the years. I’m no longer a size 24 jean,” she told the outlet. “But I think with age, we look better when we’re not as skinny.”

“My husband was the first one who pointed that out,” she continued. “He said, ‘You should eat more; you would look better if you had more meat on your bones.’ I was like, ‘What?'”

“This is not something you’re told in the industry, ever, because you’re always supposed to be skinnier than you are. When I look back at photos, I’m like, ‘He’s right!’ Proportion-wise, I look better bigger.”

The supermodel added that she loved to spend her free time relaxing topless on the beach with her husband. “I know a lot of people need a lot of stimulation – podcasts, shows, movies, music – but for me, I love looking at the sky,” she shared.

“It does something to my brain. I love being in my tiny little G-string, going topless, swimming through the water and feeling free, and then just doing nothing.”

“Anyone who hasn’t done it yet should try it,” she said of going topless. “Obviously, I don’t do this in front of a lot of people at a resort. My husband and I always look like German tourists with our bags and floaties. We have umbrellas, chairs, coolers…and we’re there for the day. But we walk miles and miles on the beach, and we find our spot. It’s the best.”

Heidi has been enjoying her time as a dog mom after adopting her puppy, Fritz, in April. The blonde beauty shared in a video posted to social media that she had seen the pup at an adoption event and couldn’t resist taking him home.

“Next to our Film Studio was a pop-up adoption place with over 50 Dogs,” she explained. “As the day went on, most dogs found a home, but this little scraggly fluff ball was still in his cage. It took me some convincing with my husband, as I know he is right…But I could not leave him behind.”

Heidi tragically lost both her 15-year-old German shorthaired pointer Capper and her four-year-old Irish wolfhound Anton in 2023, just three weeks apart.
