Heidi Klum is a protective parent

Los Angeles: Supermodel Heidi Klum said she is a protective parent and keeps an eye on her children to keep them off social media.

The 44-year-old catwalk icon admitted on the show, “Live with Kelly and Ryan” that she wants her kids to maintain their innocence for as long as possible.

“I am definitely one of them (a protective parent). My oldest daughter is 13 and she wants to post her face (on social media) and I always say, ‘No, you’re not allowed to.’

“Whenever she’s in it, it has to be from the back or (hiding her face). It’s different when we do it – I feel like we’re grown-ups – but I want to try and keep them children as long as possible,” Klum said.

She has four children, Helene, 13, Henry, 11, Johan, 10 and Lou, seven, with former husband Seal.
