Heidi Klum on Nudity in Front of Family

When it comes to being naked, Heidi Klum prefers to keep it all in the family.

In an interview with the May issue of Britain's Tatler magazine, the 36-year-old Victoria's Secret model admits that she is so relaxed about nudity, she often bares all in front of her mom and dad -- and vice versa!

"My parents are still naked," she tells the magazine, according to the Daily Mail. "I mean, it's not like we're hippies, but if they happened to be in their room changing or something or someone comes out of the shower, they're not, like, 'Oh my God. No. Close the door.'"

And Klum -- who reportedly grew up taking camping trips with her folks to nude beaches in Italy -- admits that she maintains an open-door policy in the L.A. home she shares with hubby Seal, 47, and their children, Leni, 5, Henry, 6, Johan, 3, and Lou Sulola, 5 months.

The German stunner told February's InStyle: "If I go to the bathroom and my kid walks in, I'm not going to be like, 'Oh my God! Close the door!'" -- what is it with that bathroom door? -- "They see their parents naked all the time. We are not ashamed."

Clearly. The "Project Runway" host and her singer husband can be seen wearing not a stitch of clothing in artistic silhouette portraits hanging in their bedroom and private powder room.

Klum
-- who appears topless except for a thick slathering of what looks to be sunscreen in the April issue of Allure -- says she doesn't mind if her kiddies catch an eyeful. "It's not like, 'Hey, Mom and Dad are naked, come check it out!'" she laughs.

We don't know about you, but the very thought of seeing our parents naked elicits a big "Ewww!" here at StyleList. But then again, our parents didn't look like Heidi Klum and Seal.

And don't forget this dude, whose letting-it-all-hang-out lifestyle could land him life in jail.

warcraft, you need help. So they believe in nudity. There kids probably don't think anything of it. I bet your the type that use to peek in the door to see your Mom or Dad naked. Get a life.

warcraft, maybe it's you that needs help. Why would your mind go right to believing that there might be something sick going on? Could it be that you might be a pedophile. Many country's and people believe in nudity, it's a way of life and to the kids it's anormal way of life. There not sneaking around looking in windows. Any woman that had young children most likely left the door open when they showered or went to the rest room. Young mothers had little or no privacy.

It is not the people who enjoy being nude who are the problem. It's the up-tight, sex-obsessed people who can't deal with their own poor self-image who want to restrict and condemn the life-style decisions of others.

The attitude of Americans toward nudity is laughable in light of how they pour money into sex oriented media.

My husband and I belong to a nude resort not far from Baltimore in Crownsville, Md. We are not ashamed of our bodies and our grown daughter and her husband also belong. We also travel to Florida each year to enjoy the many private nude beaches. It is very healthy for the mind and body to enjoy being unclothed and you never hear about sexual crimes by people who enjoy public nudity. One thing you never see at nude areas are Obama type people who apparently do not understand why we do it.

Darlene, what do you mean by 'Obama type people'? I'm sure there are a lot more Democrats than conservative Republications that understand nudity.

I think most parents of 3 and 5 year olds don't have the luxury of a closed bathroom door, even if they wanted one! These kids are little!

The unfortunate legacy of our puritan forefathers is Americans' incredible naivete and chidish approach to nudity and sex. Europeans are much more mature and honest about it. Perhaps that is why Americans are so obsessed with sex and violence. We are like children sneaking a smoke behind the barn.

Hank, I've been to Europe. The interesting thing is that Europeans PRETEND to be more at ease with nudity and try to portray that it isn't sensationalized. However, on television on most European countries they have shows that show nudity in a "titilating" (pun intended) way, and sensationalize nudity to sell products or shows. So, in essence, they really AREN'T any more open about it or they wouldn't put so much emphasis on it in the media. So, I will summarize by stating that I think the European "open mindedness on nudity" is a scam and a farce. The average Europeans are just as "dirty-minded" and they exploit nudity as much as Americans in my opinion (don't forget that the "Puritans" people bring up in discussions such as these started in Europe).

Some Americans have such an adverse attitude towards nudity, I wonder how they shower. Anyway, it's not like Heidi Klum is running around the house nude all of the time. Seems like she's saying if she happens to be in the bathroom nude and the kids walk in, she doesn't scream and yell get the hell out of here, and screw her kids up for life.

Really not wanting to sound too racist here, but when you say at the end of your story that you didn't have parents which looked like Heidi and Seal, so you'd be thinking eww, if you saw your parents naked. Fact is, Seal is just about plain ugly. I could care less what race and nationality he is, he's ugly pure and simple, and the sight of him in the nude should frighten anyone, other than Heidi i guess.

warcraffl6 sounds like you have a dirty mind.
I grew up with parents who did not flaunt around nude but if someone was in the tub or restroom or changing clothes, nothing was said to cause panick. How much more natural can you be than the way God made us?
You need help. Seriously.
I admire Heidi and Seal, a quit beautiful man and human being by the way, for their down to earth good parenting.
