Seal Is All Smiles in Rare Photo With Daughter Leni: 'Changed My Life'
Seal is one proud dad.
In a new upload shared to his Instagram page over the weekend, the British singer-songwriter praised his eldest daughter for her impact on his life, also including an up-to-date photo of himself with the 19-year-old, Leni Klum.
The Sept. 3 post showed Seal posing gleefully next to Leni on the streets of New York City, wearing a business casual blazer and button-up with a unique pair of denim shorts. Leni also looked chic but comfortable, rocking baggy cargo pants, an oversized tee, sunglasses and a mini purse.
"In NY with the young woman who changed my life for the better 19yrs ago," he gushed in the caption. "Thank you Leni for making me a better person ??????Love you," he continued, before signing off, "-papa."
Leni, touched by the heartfelt shoutout, replied back in the comments, sweetly cheering, "so cute! i love you papa ??."
Others seemed just as touched by the sentiment, praising Seal and his relationship with Leni.
"Daddy and Daughter. Beautiful!!" one Instagram user cheered, before another added, "That's all a girl needs in life, a loving papa ????."
A third commended the star for being such a dedicated father even while battling a type of lupus called discoid lupus erythematosus, writing, "Such a stand up guy. We see you, Seal. We know how hard you’ve worked and provided for your family in spite of a challenging health condition. You deserve a world of happiness.??????."
Seal officially adopted Leni in 2009, four years after saying "I do" to her supermodel mom, Heidi Klum. The former couple, who married in 2005, and divorced just shy of a decade later in 2014, also share three other children: sons Henry, 17, and Johan, 16, and daughter Lou, 13.
