Henry Samuel's Cannes Debut: A Resemblance You Can't Miss

At the dazzling 2026 Cannes Film Festival, Heidi Klum's son, Henry Samuel, captured the spotlight with his uncanny resemblance to his father, the iconic singer Seal. The 20-year-old made a memorable appearance at the amfAR Gala in Cap d’Antibes, France, alongside his mom and her husband, Tom Kaulitz. With his sharp facial features and charismatic smile, Henry seemed to channel Seal's vibe from his '90s heyday.

Arriving in style, Klum wowed the crowd in a dramatic black-and-white corset gown, while Henry matched the grandeur in a tailored black suit adorned with eye-catching metallic leaf embroidery. "It’s fun to experience things through the eyes of someone who is really young, and everything is still so exciting," Klum shared, expressing her joy in having Henry by her side.

“To be honest, because my husband has been traveling so much and I didn't want to go alone," Klum revealed. "So Henry has been like, ‘I’ll come with you, mom.’ And I’m like, ‘This is fabulous.’”

amfAR Gala: A Night Full of Glitz and Glamour

The amfAR Gala, one of Cannes' most prestigious charity events, lived up to its reputation this year. With performances from stars like Robbie Williams, Zara Larsson, and PinkPantheress, the evening was nothing short of spectacular. Since the mid-1980s, amfAR has been a beacon of hope, raising millions for AIDS research and treatment worldwide.

Henry, who has become a regular at public events with Klum, enjoyed the evening's festivities, adding a youthful energy to the gala's sophisticated atmosphere. His presence alongside his mother not only highlighted their close bond but also reminded everyone of the powerful legacy of his parents' past partnership.

A Glimpse into Klum and Seal's Past

Henry is one of the three biological children Heidi Klum shares with Seal. The former power couple, who tied the knot in 2005, became a staple of Hollywood glamour before their split in 2012. Despite parting ways, they continue to co-parent their children, with Henry now stepping into the limelight.

Klum's current marriage to Tom Kaulitz, which began in 2019, has been a new chapter in her life. Yet, her history with Seal remains a key part of her story, as seen in moments like these, where their son shines with the same star quality that once defined their union.
