Heidi Klum has recently requested an emergency hearing with the judge over the matter of her kids. Heide and Seal have four kids together - a 16-year-old named Leni, a 14-year-old named Henry, a 13-year-old Johan, and Lou, who is 10 years old. The model plans to take them to Germany with her. Seal, on the other hand, has claimed that Heidi taking their kids to Germany may be a health issue due to the spread of the coronavirus.

According to a report by People, Klum mentioned that she would do nothing that would put her kids in harm's way and that going to Germany won't harm them.

Further in her statement, Heidi mentioned that she was well aware of how to take care of her kids amidst the pandemic and further explained that the show is usually shot in LA to accommodate her but the cast couldn't enter the US due to travel restrictions. The model also added that she was willing to make changes in their custody schedule so that she could take the kids to Germany now.

Heidi Klum is contractually obligated to be in Germany to film Next Top Model and has also claimed that Seal doesn't visit the children very often and that his visits 'are sporadic at best'. But nonetheless, the pair share joint custody of the kids and Seal doesn't approve of her travel plans. Heidi also mentioned that Germany had way fewer cases of the virus than LA did. 

The report by the magazine further stated that Heidi and Sean's kid Leni also wrote a handwritten letter to let Heidi take her and all her siblings to Germany but Seal has been persistent about his kids not leaving the US.
