The supermodel, 51, spoke with Access Hollywood and shared that her 19-year-old son Henry, who made his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week back in January, asked her for some advice when he told his mom he wanted to become a model.
"They ask me about it. Especially my son Henry," Klum responded when asked if her kids ever get advice from her on modeling. "He was like, 'Oh, what should I do?'"

"I'm like, 'Wow! Who knew that you wanted to do this? I thought you were always more into music and different types of things,' and all of a sudden he was like, 'Yeah, I want to give this a shot. Do you think I can do this?'"
"And I'm like, 'You're like, so handsome of course you should do this.' So he strutted around a little bit at home," Klum shared.
As for his siblings, sister Leni, 20, is already a model, but his other sister Lou, 15, is starting to take an interest in the industry, too.
"She also is kind of, at the gate with the hoof. She's like, 'Ok, when can I do this modeling stuff?' " Klum shared. "I'm like, 'You just turned 15. Let's wait a hot minute.'"

Earlier this month, Henry appeared on the front of the latest issue of Hunger magazine, marking his first cover in print — and his model mom couldn't have been prouder.
"So proud of you, my beautiful Henry!" Klum captioned an Instagram post on March 17, in which she shared the striking image of Henry, taken by celebrity photographer, Rankin.
"Your first cover for @hungermagazine — what an incredible milestone," Klum continued. "Watching you grow into the amazing young man you are today fills my heart with so much joy. The world is just beginning to see what I've always known—you are destined for greatness! ❤️✨ I love you @henrysamle."
