Who is Heidi Klum’s German rocker husband, Tom Kaulitz? The America’s Got Talent judge and 34-year-old Tokio Hotel guitarist just glammed up for the Oscars red carpet, and co-parents her 4 children
The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star strutted onto the red carpet with her husband Tom Kaulitz in tow, who looked dapper in an all-black ensemble. And it’s not the first time the pair have shown off their fashion prowess.
So what do we know about Klum’s third husband, who’s a guitarist for the band Tokio Hotel?
Tom Kaulitz is German like his wife, Heidi Klum
“He is absolutely wonderful. He’s German, and we maybe understand each other in a different way,” she added about her 34-year-old partner.
He’s in a rock band with his identical twin brother
Tom is one of the founding members of German rock band Tokio Hotel with his identical twin brother Bill, who is lead vocalist, and two other bandmates. Tom is slightly older than his twin, reportedly born 10 minutes ahead.
He’s 16 years younger than Klum
Klum was born in 1973 and Kaulitz in 1989, meaning they have a 16-year age gap. Klum hasn’t shied away from talking about the age difference, however, telling InStyle in 2018 that the problem is how others seem to care more about it than she does.
In a recent cover story for Glamour Germany, Klum once again addressed the negativity she receives because of her husband’s age.
“I think it’s often just spitefulness,” she said in the interview. “Perhaps many people also think I’ve had too much luck in life. I have a great job, I get to travel the world, I can buy expensive things. And now I’ve also got myself such a great man.”
He gets on with her children
“They went to Mexico before their engagement, around Thanksgiving, and that’s when he started talking to the kids about his plans in secret and it was so hard for them to not tell anyone,” a source told People. “They were so excited and happy for their mum.”
They secretly tied the knot in February, two months later, per People.
