In August 2013, Heidi Klum was spotted spending quality time with her boyfriend/bodyguard, Martin Kristen, this time sans her children. They dated for about a year and a half, from 2012 to 2014, after Klum filed for divorce from Seal.
The couple didn’t skip their usual Starbucks coffee stop for the afternoon, each grabbing their beverage before heading out for a relaxed stroll—Heidi, notably, opted for flat sandals, a rare choice for the heel-loving supermodel.

Martin played every bit of the boyfriend part this time instead of his usual bodyguard role, holding the supermodel’s hand and hooking his arm around her neck.
We no longer need to ask the ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge if she’s happy; it’s pretty evident just by looking at their photos.

When this was photographed in 2013, Heidi Klum was juggling multiple projects. In addition to her roles as a judge on America’s Got Talent and host of Project Runway, the supermodel and entrepreneur had just released her fragrance, Shine Blue, and even dabbled in diaper design (yes, really). Is there anything she can’t do?

The tiered maxi dress by L’Agence was initially designed to form a pool at the feet. However, it seems the design was too much even for the 5-foot 9-inch American-German supermodel, as evident by the harsh cutting at the bottom hem — we are guessing it was roughly cut at the last minute before the two headed out.
Nonetheless, we love this tiered daytime-to-nighttime dress, especially the low cut at the back. It’s too bad the paparazzi couldn’t snap a picture of Heidi’s back.

A few days before this romantic outing, Heidi was also spotted turning a simple coffee run into a fun family moment — proving she easily balances style, work, and motherhood.
Heidi Klum Turns Coffee Runs Into Family Time With Boyfriend and Kids!
Heidi Klum can’t get through a day without her coffee fix, even turning the mandatory errand into a family bonding time.
She was spotted with bodyguard-turned-boyfriend Martin Kristen and her two daughters, Leni and Lou (nine and four years old, respectively).

The supermodel wore a tie-dye maxi dress with black gladiator sandals, a teardrop silver necklace, and aviator shades. Her adorable girls were dressed up in matching outfits for the day, complete with flower headbands.

The family looked fab, but Martin needed to change from his “Burpees” shirt, jeans, and rubber shoes combo. He is, after all, dating one of the world’s iconic supermodels. Some collared shirt and leather won’t hurt.

Heidi’s maxi dress exudes complete and utter summer lovin’. We are huge fans of the tiger-stripes-like tie-dye pattern, broken apart by a bold but soft-edged strip of black right through the middle. Our favorite part about this dress would have to be the back, which tapers down to a deep V, ending at a drawstring for easy strap adjustments.
What can you say, ladies? One last hurrah before autumn rolls around?
