Heidi Klum (49) couldn't resist an April Fool's joke. In her Instagram story she shared the post of her "America's Got Talent" colleague Howie Mandel (67). In the picture she can be seen backstage with a big belly. Her colleague Sofía Vergara (50) kisses her ball. Mandel wrote: "Congratulations, Heidi Klum, colleague Sofia Vergara and I are the first to know."

Under the snapshot, a fan writes: "Sorry, it's 2023. That's not funny for so many people." Another person clarified, "Being pregnant is no April Fool's joke. So many women suffer from infertility. It's rude!" In addition, the action is "bottom drawer". Many fans are disappointed with the model mom.

In her story, the 49-year-old also posts a picture of Mandel with her stomach stretched out and her mouth kissed. This makes it finally clear that the action was just a joke.

Speaking to The Sun recently, Klum said she could imagine having another child. But: "Wanting it and actually making it are always two different things." The big 50 is just around the corner and things get harder as you get older.

She already has four children
Heidi Klum already has four children. Leni Klum is the daughter of former sports manager Flavio Briatore (72). She was adopted by Seal (60), who later became her mother's husband.

Rumors about Britney Spears (41) and her husband Sam Asghari (29) have been piling up for days: Do the two have marital problems or are they possibly already separated? All nonsense now said a spokesman for the singer's husband to the "People" magazine. Everything is fine with the two, they would not have separated either. Speculation peaked at images of Asghari and Spears without their wedding rings on their fingers. However, his spokesman has now announced that he had only removed the piece of jewelery because he was currently shooting a film.

Spears and Asghari have been dating since 2016 and got engaged in 2021, just days after Spears' guardianship was overturned by a court. In March 2022, Spears revealed that she suffered a miscarriage. Spears and Asghari married in June 2022. Spears' current trip to Mexico also fueled speculation about a possible love-off between the two. She recently took a break, but not with her husband but with her longtime agent and good friend Cade Hudson (36).

After an ambiguous post in which Spears alluded to a recent trip to Mexico with her husband and said she was happy there "before I got married," the pop star disabled comments on Instagram.
