Heidi Klum celebrated her 51st birthday in style on social media, posting a touching throwback to her Instagram page.
Her photo showed little Heidi as a child in 1970s West Germany, being breastfed by her lookalike mother, Erna Klum.
For the background music, Heidi selected Stevie Wonder’s 1976 song Isn’t She Lovely, which she wrote in honor of the birth of her own daughter, Aisha Morris.
She also revealed on Instagram that day that she was invited to a family picnic for her big day, surrounded by festive pink balloons, including two that said ’51.’
The world-famous supermodel was joined by her husband Tom Kaulitz, 34, as well as her children Leni, 20, Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14.

Heidi had her three youngest children with her ex-husband Seal, who also adopted Leni, the product of Heidi’s flirtation with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.
Posting a sweet photo of her loved ones gathered around the table for her outdoor birthday lunch, Heidi wrote: “Everything I could ever want.”
She also uploaded a joyful snap of herself and Tom, the guitarist for German band Tokio Hotel, sharing a romantic kiss as they toasted each other.
Heidi also received tributes on social media from her famous friends, including Paris Hilton, who posted an Insta Stories snap of the two dancing.
Sofia Vergara, who is Heidi’s fellow judge on America’s Got Talent and also a close friend, gushed about her affection for the birthday girl on Instagram.
‘Happy birthday to the funniest and most beautiful girl in the world!!!!’ the Modern Family bombshell wrote, alongside a photo of her kissing Heidi’s shoulder on America’s Got Talent. “I love @heidiklum.”
Heidi approaches aging with good humor, recently joking: “The good thing is that my eyesight is getting worse and I can’t see everything as clearly anymore.”
More candidly, he explained how he copes with aging: ‘I just accept it, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway. Why think about it too much? It is what it is.’

Heidi’s age has been the subject of special attention because her husband, who like her is a native of Germany, is a quarter of a century younger than her.
“I am 50 years old and not 20 anymore. I am not a young girl who has not yet experienced anything or has no idea about life,” she admitted to Glamor UK last year.
‘Time will not stop for me and Tom will never catch up with me. “I’ll always be 16 years older and I know it,” Heidi continued.
‘I know I’ll look older than him before. Maybe in ten years it will be a problem for me, maybe then he won’t like it,” he mused.
“In 20 years I will be 70. Normally I make plans for the future, but with my husband I live in the here and now,” shares the Teutonic blonde.
