Heidi Klum isn't closing herself to the idea of expanding her family just yet.

The model admitted on the Jennifer Hudson Show on Thursday that she would consider having a baby after giving birth to her last child 13 years ago. She ruminated on the idea of having more children while playing a game with host Jennifer Hudson in which they responded to different questions by holding up paddles that said “Ja” or “Ne,” the German words for "yes" and "no." When asked if either of them would have another child, Hudson was firmly against the idea, raising her “Ne” paddle and saying, “No, I ain't trying to have no more babies.”

But Klum was a little more receptive to the proposition. “It depends what day it is, sometimes I'm here, sometimes here, you know?,” she said, referring to the two sides of the paddle. The America's Got Talent host continued, “I mean it's a lot. I've done it four times,” mimicking a growing belly with her hands. “And I breastfed eight months each time and then I was pregnant again. Three times in a row. Again [my children are] 18, 17, 16 and then 13, so I was like,” she added, snapping her fingers multiple times. But, she concluded, “Now I waited a long time, so maybe ja.” Hudson replied, “There we have it!”

Klum is the mother of four children already. She became pregnant with her first daughter, Leni Olum Klum, whom she shares with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, in 2004, but had already moved on with musician Seal by the time she was born. Klum and Seal were married from 2005 to 2014 and have three children together, Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, and Lou Sulola Samuel. Seal also officially adopted Leni after they got together. Klum is currently married to musician Tom Kaulitz and they have been together since 2019.

In January 2022, the model raved over her husband's “amazing” relationship with all of his stepchildren, telling Us Weekly, “I’m sure it’s not easy to step into an immediate family, having all of a sudden four kids and teenagers. They were easier when they were younger, for sure. Every age comes with its challenges.” She added that Kaulitz even taught her eldest daughter how to drive, noting that they have a “beautiful” bond.

Raising her four kids has been challenging for Klum as well, who last August shared an emotional tribute to her eldest daughter on Instagram as she went off to college for the first time. Alongside a photo of herself pregnant with Leni on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway, she wrote, “Today is your big move to head off to college…Seems like only yesterday that this photo was taken when I was four months pregnant with you safe and sound in my belly. Sometimes I wish I could always have you that close but I know it’s now time for you to go spread your wings and fly. Take flight, be safe and shine bright my @leniklum 💖”
