Heidi Klum on Return to Runway: 'I Have to Play It by Ear'

Although she’s famously walked the runway mere weeks after giving birth previously, Heidi Klum is making no promises with regards to her fourth pregnancy. “I have to play it by ear,” she tells FOX News. “I might be cutting it a little short this time.”
The daughter she expects in mid-October has not curtailed Heidi’s plans to hold her annual Halloween bash with husband Seal, however.
“That’s okay, because I can put a big costume on. But walking in a g-string is a little hard. It’s all cute when you’re pregnant, but once you’ve had the baby it’s not so… well, it takes time.”
The couple’s three other children — Leni, 5, Henry, 4, and Johan, 2 ½ — have made the most of their time with mom’s burgeoning bump. Heidi says that the kids love to jump on her belly, but they “don’t really understand there is actually a real human being in there.”
Speaking from a party to celebrate her cover on the latest issue of L.A. Confidential magazine, Heidi delved into her thoughts on the debate surrounding the modeling industry and eating disorders. According to the 36-year-old supermodel and Project Runway host, a lack of parental accountability has contributed to the problem.
“You can’t look at Hollywood and blame it, you have to make up your own mind whether you want to be fit, or super skinny,” she explains. “You can’t blame other people. It’s your own choice and if you have children, it is up to the parent to educate your children so they are healthy and they don’t go into a direction of anorexia or obesity.”
At the same time, Heidi concedes that “it is hard to feed children right,” adding,
“It is up to you as a parent…I deal with it on a daily basis.”

Something else she’s already dealing with Leni — and will be soon enough with her younger children — is education, and Heidi admits that the statistics are startling. “When you hear that every 26 seconds drops out of school you get worried,” she says. “You want them to stay in school and you want them to have a vision of what they want to be and give them ideas and encourage them.”
To that end, her decision to become involved in the Get Schooled initiative was an easy one. Heidi adds,
“Nowadays children look at everyone in the magazines and they want to be a basketball star or on a television show, but there is only so many people who can do those things and not that you shouldn’t aim or dream for these things, but there are so many other fantastic jobs. So it’s good to talk about how to get there and how difficult it is to get there.”
