"Tom Kaulitz expresses irritation over headlines labeling him as a 'Toyboy'"
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz, a couple known for their public displays of affection and happiness, have found themselves at the centre of criticism once again due to their age difference. The British newspaper "Daily Mail" sparked controversy with a headline that referred to Kaulitz as Klum's "toyboy" during their sixth wedding anniversary celebrations.
In an episode of the podcast "Kaulitz Hills - Senf aus Hollywood", Tom Kaulitz expressed his displeasure about the headline, finding the use of "toyboy" inappropriate and ridiculous. He argued that the term implies a fling, but they are married. Bill Kaulitz, Tom's twin brother, agreed with him, sharing the same sentiments.
The headline in question, published on August 3rd, was "Heidi Klum shows her cheeky side while celebrating an important milestone with her toy boy husband Tom Kaulitz". The term "toyboy" is a modern term for a kept man in Germany, known as "toyboy" in English.
Despite the ongoing criticism, Klum has always maintained that what matters most is their private life and connection. She has emphasized that her husband has taught her new things and brought joy to her life beyond any age considerations. The couple's relationship, founded on mutual respect and fresh starts, as Tom requested a "clean slate" free from past baggage, further underscores their genuine bond.
Heidi Klum, who is 48, has four children: Henry (19), Johan (18), Lou (15), and Leni (21). Leni is Klum's daughter from a previous relationship with Flavio Briatore (75). Seal (62), another of Klum's ex-husbands, has adopted Leni.
The couple, who got married in 2019 on a yacht off the Italian island of Capri, made their relationship public on the red carpet in Cannes seven years ago. The couple frequently shares their happiness and love on their Instagram account and in the Netflix documentary "Kaulitz & Kaulitz".
Tom Kaulitz, who is 32, finds the age shaming unnecessary and has expressed his disapproval of it. Klum, on the other hand, has dismissed the negativity, focusing instead on the love and happiness they share privately. Despite societal norms and biases about age differences, especially when a woman is older than her partner, the couple continues to thrive, proving that love knows no boundaries.
Tom Kaulitz, during an episode of the podcast "Kaulitz Hills - Senef aus Hollywood," expressed his displeasure about the term "toyboy" used in a Daily Mail headline during their sixth wedding anniversary celebrations, arguing that it implies a fling yet they are married. Heidi Klum, the entertainment icon, further emphasized that their relationship, founded on mutual respect and fresh starts, is a testament to their genuine bond and that age, in her perspective, does not hinder their love.
