Supermodel and “Project Runway” host Heidi Klum is losing her last name – she’s filed a petition to change her last name to her married name, “Samuel.” Her singer husband, Seal’s, full name is Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel. The supermodel will now be known – legally at least – as Heidi Samuel. The couple has two sons together, Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, 3, and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, 2. Seal is also the adoptive father of Helene “Leni” Klum, whose father is Heidi’s ex, Flavio Briatore. Flavio and Heidi split in December 2003. They tied the knot on May 10, 2005 on a beach in Mexico. On Friday, a Los Angeles commissioner approved Klum’s legal name change to Heidi Samuel, her husband’s surname. In her filing, Klum, 36, gave a one-word reason for the change: Marriage. The couple tied the knot more than four years ago, and Klum gave birth to their fourth child last month.

This week, the model made a surprise appearance when she walked the runway in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York just six weeks after giving birth.  Klum and her post-baby body led the parade at the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which returned to New York with some fresh faces after four years on the road. But Klum, who gave birth to a daughter five weeks ago, was the audience favorite in her purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle. She emerged from the huge, castlelike set to applause. Klum, who normally wears the most elaborate outfits, only appeared once so it was former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl Marissa Miller who had the honor of wearing a $3 million, diamond-encrusted bra. Splashy jewels, it seemed, were one of the themes of the show with many models dripping in diamonds, crystals and other bling — while others wore faux fur stoles over their bras and panties. Thigh-high boots were the other must-have accessory.marisa-miller-vs-fantasybra.jpg (300×400)
