Lou Sulola Samuel is an American girl, born on 9 October 2009 in Los Angeles, California USA. She’s only known for being the daughter of the international model Heidi Klum and the singer Seal.

Early Life

Lou Sulola is the youngest child resulting from the marriage between Heidi Klum and Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel, better known as Seal. She has two older brothers, Johan born in 2005 and Henry in 2006, and an older sister named Helena – also known as Leni – who was born in 2004 and is the biological daughter of Flavio Briatore, with whom Heidi Klum maintained a romantic relationship before meeting Seal.

As the daughter of two well known and recognized celebrities, Lou Sulola’s birth was reported by various journals and magazines. The first announcement of Heidi’s pregnancy was made by Seal in April 2009, during one of his shows at Radio City Hall: ‘(it) came out faster than I wanted it to. My husband kind of surprised me and everybody at one of his concerts’ said Heidi when the news was announced, and less than a month later she revealed that she and her partner were expecting a girl.

At the time of her birth, Lou Sulola’s father Seal released a statement expressing his joy for having another child with his then wife: ‘It’s difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children, anyone who has a family will tell you this.’

He continued the heartfelt letter, declaring he was asking himself where to find more love for his children: ‘If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?’ He continued, revealing the reason for his happiness and the answer he was looking for: ‘Lou Sulola Samuel was born, and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes, it was endless love at first sight.’

Lou’s father Seal described the moment he met her as a newborn to US Magazine: ‘She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years’.

Lou Sulola’s parents presented her to the world during the first months of her life.

Her father Seal also posted various pictures of her on his official website, and in a subsequent interview in December that year he told Marie Claire that Lou Sulola had inherited his frown, and recognized him when he first held her in his arms as newborn.

Education & Career

Lou Sulola Samuel’s parents have decided to keep details about her education out of the spotlight. Thus it’s unknown where she studies, and what subjects she is interested in.

At the moment Lou Sulola is only 11 years old and doesn’t have a career. It’s also undisclosed if she is interested in taking a career path in the entertainment industry as her parents did.

Famous Parents

Mother – Heidi Klum

Lou Sulola’s mother is the acclaimed German international model, business woman and TV host Heidi Klum.

She’s known for being a former Victoria’s Secret model, and for appearing on the cover of famous magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Allure, Gazia and Bazaar.

Heidi has appeared on TV, both as a judge of “Germany’s Next Top Model” and as the producer and host of “Project Runway”. In addition, Klum has made various cameos and has played minor roles in various movies such as “Blow Dry”, “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Ocean’s 8”. As a businesswoman, Heidi has launched fashion lines and beauty products, for which in 2011 she was named by Forbes as one of the “World’s Top-Earning Models”.

Before marrying Lou’s father in 2004, Heidi Klum was previously married to the stylist Ric Pipino in 1997, and the couple was together for five years until their divorce in 2002. She later maintained a relationship with the then-director of Formula One’s team Renault, Flavio Briatore; the pair broke up shortly before Heidi met Seal.

Father – Seal

Lou Sulola’s father is Henry Samuel, better known as Seal – he’s a British singer, songwriter and composer who rose to prominence due to his outstanding talent. Some of his most acclaimed songs are “Crazy” from 1991, “Kiss From A Rose” from 1994, and “This Could Be Heaven” from 2001. Seal has also received various Brit Awards and Grammys.

Parents Relationship

Heidi Klum and Seal started dating in early 2004 shortly before she gave birth to her daughter Helene, the only daughter resulting from Klum’s previous relationship with Flavio Briatore.

Seal was present for Helene’s birth and offered Heidi his support during the process. At the time Briatore was living in London, and didn’t maintain any kind of relationship with the top model, thus he wasn’t involved in the young girl’s life, as stated by Klum, who also affirmed Seal was ‘Leni’s father’.

In December 2004 Heidi Klum accepted Seal’s marriage proposal during a trip to British Columbia, Canada, and six months later the couple married in Costa Careyes, Mexico during a private ceremony attended by 40 guests. The event was reported by several journals, including PEOPLE, cDurinommenting on Heidi’s Vera Wang dress.

In September 2005, Heidi and Seal welcomed their first son they named Johan, then in November 2006 their second son Henry was born. Three years would pass until Lou’s birth in 2009, when Heidi also decided to legally adopt Seal’s surname “Samuel”.

Divorce

Although everything seemed to go well for the family, after seven years of marriage in January 2012, Heidi and Seal announced their separation.

At the time the announcement was made, Seal said that his relationship with Klum was too public, and as such it was difficult for him to keep details of their separation private: ‘When it goes south, you can’t all of a sudden take the philosophy of a monk and decide to go for a vow of silence’.

Despite Seal saying that there was a slight chance of getting back together, in April 2012 Heidi officially filed for divorce, and took back her birth surname. At the time, Heidi wasn’t very vocal about the separation, saying she wanted to keep details about the situation private:‘People don’t need to know who did what, I don’t want to talk positively or negatively about the ups and downs that we had.’ In October 2014 the divorce process was finalized, and shared custody of the kids was agreed.

After the split Seal has only been romantically involved publicly with Erica Parker, though the couple split up after a while.

For her part, Heidi Klum has been in various relationships. In September 2012 she confirmed she was dating her bodyguard Martin Kristen, with whom she maintained a relationship for two years. Then in 2014 she started dating the art curator Vito Schnabel, though the couple broke up in 2017. In 2018 Klum started dating Tom Kaulitz, the guitarist of the German rock band Tokyo Hotel, and the couple married in February 2019, only two months after they announced their engagement on Christmas Eve.

Net Worth

Lou Sulola’s father has an estimated net worth of $40 million, and her mother Heidi Klum has a net worth reputedly over $90 million. Consequently, Lou Sulola Samuel has no need to worry about her finances, either now or in the future, despite no current personal income.

Physical Appearance

Lou Sulola is a young girl of mixed ethnicity. She styles her curly hair with braids or keeps it loose. Her current weight and height are unknown.

Interesting Facts

Lou Sulola has a liking for bright colors and often wears sporty clothes.

She doesn’t have any social media accounts as of yet.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	[2015] I've been incredibly proud to represent numerous Latino communities throughout my career. Now Chilean, but certainly Mexican-American, Puerto Rican, Cuban, even Bolivian. And it's kind of in the same boat as me representing Native American communities, and as a result I've been adopted into the Cheyenne Nation because of my work as Henry Standing Bear on Longmire. The Lakota Nation adopted me in the early nineties after Young Guns. And I look at it the same way every single time. I try to be specific to the community that I'm representing. I don't just go in and paint it all with the same brush, and I also try to do it with respect and with dignity, because I'm representing a culture to the world. And I feel incredibly fortunate that my ambiguous ethnicity allows me to do that, and to morph into whatever character that I'm representing.
2	(2012, on Disorganized Crime) That was a lot of fun. I actually got the offer when we were doing Young Guns, and it was the beginning of the time in my career when I suddenly didn't have to audition for things. They were just kind of coming my way. My agent got the call from Disney giving me the offer, and somehow we knew that Emilio (Estevez) had just passed on the project. Emilio was a new friend at the time, and I remember being very aware of not wanting to step on any toes, so before I said "yes" to that, I read the script, liked it, and then I went to Emilio and said, "You just passed on this. Is it cool if I take it?" And he was like, "Yeah, absolutely. I passed because I didn't want to do it." He'd had a relationship with Disney prior to that because of the Stakeout films, so he had the offer first. I don't know, they might've just been going down the Young Guns cast list... We had these five little cabins right on this trout farm in Montana, in the Bitterroot Valley in Hamilton, and there were only four restaurants in town. So we formed something called the Hamilton Dining Club. It was William Russ, Rubén Blades, Fred Gwynne, and myself. We'd dine together practically every evening and just rotate the restaurants. Unfortunately, two of them weren't so good. So we worked our way down the menu on a couple of them. What was sad was that Corbin Bernsen, because his character was separated from us and we were trying to find him for the entire movie, we never got to work together. Whenever we were off, Corbin had to go to work, and vice versa. So I didn't get to spend much time with him at all. And ditto with Ed O'Neil and Daniel Roebuck. But I absolutely loved that entire ensemble, and a lot of us have stayed close over the years.
3	(2012) Cisco in The Big Hit is one of my favorite characters of my entire career. I absolutely love that character. It's so over the top, and Kirk Wong, the director, gave me ridiculous license with that role. He would let me adlib, and he would let me just do crazy things, and he would come running out from behind the monitor going, "Too much, too much! Come back!"... How I got that part was, I was on Broadway doing The King And I, and Kirk Wong and Terence Chang, a producer who's John Woo's partner, came to see me in that. And then we took a meeting, and I read and auditioned for that, because it was a comedy, and it seems like anytime a comedy comes up, people just assume that I'm not funny. But since he was the bad guy, they told me later that nobody made him funny. Everybody was playing him so straight that he wasn't funny. And they were looking for broad. They were looking for big. And after seeing me onstage in The King And I, they knew I could go big.
4	(2012, on Aquaman) I can't even speak to that very much, because I've never seen it. Everything pointed to the fact that that project should've been a slam-dunk. It was from the creators of Smallville. The CW was going to rebrand and launch their new network, and it just seemed to be such a great calling card to have a big, slick project like that. So to me, it was a no-brainer. We had filmed the pilot in Miami, and it went beautifully. And I'm literally waiting for a call to go to the upfronts, and not until the day before do we get the call saying, "Well, we're not going to pick it up." And it was devastating to me. I had real high hopes for the project. And when something like that happens, I don't even bother to watch it, because it's just too painful. It's like, "My God, what could've been..." And it ended up being literally the number-one download for two weeks once it became available on iTunes, so I was like, "Do you see? It would've had an audience. It would've been a hit." But they blinked and were afraid to pull the trigger. So it's just one of those things that I chalk up to... it's one of the reasons why I'll never understand the industry.
5	(2012, on filming Che) I'd love to say that it was a magical experience being in Madrid, but it wasn't. I only got a couple of hours sleep every night, because I was up drilling, drilling, drilling. And I have to say that the vocal coach was just an angel, because he'd sit there with me, and we go over and over it. Same thing with being on set. So it was a constant chore for me, but ultimately I'm just really, really proud to have been a part of that, and in my opinion-because it was such a long film and because it was in a foreign language-I think it was a bit overlooked. I really feel Benicio (Del Toro) deserved an Oscar nomination, at least. He won Best Actor in Cannes, but I think the film was under-seen here.
6	Just before Courage Under Fire I made a decision to start going after quote unquote bigger roles. I think Hollywood got to a place where they thought they knew what to expect from me. I thought that maybe a few things would come to me. Well, they didn't. I said "fine" from now on I'm going to identify what's out there; I don't care if it's written for a blonde haired blue eyed guy. If they'll let me in the door, I'm going to take a shot at it and show people what I can do. I'd never done comedy. I'd rarely done romance. Courage Under Fire, The King And I and The Big Hit, all of this was an effort on my part to expand the perception of my range. The range has always been there.
7	The Gypsy in me still loves going on location; loves meeting new people; loves the three month, "I'm in summer camp" kind of thing.
8	[on filming The Triangle (2005) in South Africa] I filmed Red Water (2003) in Cape Town, South Africa, so I had a number of local haunts that I'd been to before, and I really, really just love that city and the people are so polite and so wonderful. Not only that, it was a real treat for me, because since I was there for such a long period of time, my three daughters were able to come down and spend 10 days there. So my time off was very welcome because it was like a paid vacation for me. I was able to take the girls on safari, shark cage diving and to the top of Table Mountain. It was an amazing tourist trip while on the clock.
9	[on being a working actor] I play poker with some guys, like [Charles Durning], and they say, "Are ya working?" They ask that - and they don't care what it is - you're just fortunate to be a working actor in Hollywood. With every new job I get, I feel the same way. I have that same excitement. I have that same gratitude for being asked to the dance.
10	[on selecting roles] There's very few things that I'll turn my nose up at, because some of my biggest successes have been ones totally out of left field. Stand and Deliver (1988) was a tiny little film made for less than $1 million. If I can find something in the script or the character, or even in the cast, that I go, "All right, this is worth doing", then I'll do it. Unfortunately, there was a time in my career when I felt responsible for how a film came out, and I'm just now starting to grasp the concept that there's only so much you can do. You can only show up and do the best work that you can do, be responsible for your character, and be as giving and supportive of the cast and the crew as you can. But when all is said and done, did they have enough money to make the movie? Did the director have a clear vision of it? And even if it turned out to be not a bad film, is it going to be seen, or is it going to fall between the cracks? There's some little films of mine that didn't see the light of day, and yet I still think they were good movies. I think there's this philosophy in Hollywood that if it doesn't make $100 million, it's not a success. And unfortunately, there's quite a few $100-million films that just aren't that good.
11	[on his success] I felt I was the luckiest guy in the world when I landed La Bamba (1987), and I still feel the same way. I feel fortunate to be employed in the film business, and still be standing. There's a lot of guys that were around when I made "La Bamba" who aren't as fortunate - and it's not a matter of talent or hard work, it's just the breaks sometimes, you know? I've been fortunate that the right film has come along for me every couple of years. I've been lucky, I think.
12	[on working with Harrison Ford] I've got to say, Harrison is probably the most relaxed actor I've worked with in my life. He's truly amazing. They say "Action!"--boom! There's Harrison Ford. I was doing a scene, I'm sitting across a table from him, and between takes I kind of looked over, and I had one of those moments where the hair stood up on the back of my neck and I went, "Oh my God, that's Harrison Ford!" When you're working, you don't really think about those things, but I just had one of those starstruck moments where it's just like, "Look where I'm at".
13	[on getting his part in 24 (2001)] That was a funny situation, because Kiefer [Kiefer Sutherland] and I are still very tight. We've done something like five projects together over the years, and we see each other socially every so often since Young Guns (1988). We got the call from the people at "24", saying, "Listen, we don't have a script yet, but the episodes are going to revolve around Kiefer, Dennis Hopper and a role that we'd like you to do". That's really all I needed to hear. So I made one phone call -- to Kiefer's cell phone on the set -- and said, "Listen, man, they want me to come on the show. Is that cool with you?" And he said, "Yeah, c'mon, let's go!"
14	The only power an actor has is the ability to say, "No".
