Heidi Klum is now engaged to her boyfriend of nearly a year, Tom Kaulitz. Making the announcement on Christmas Eve morning, the 45-year-old supermodel tweeted a picture of her sparkler with bright smiles from her and her beau.
"I said YES," Klum tweeted.

The 29-year-old German musician has been a part of the rock band Tokio Hotel since 2001. He was previously married to Ria Sommerfeld from 2015 to August of this year.
Rumors that Klum and Kaulitz were dating sparked in March after a photo surfaced of them smooching after filming America's Got Talent. They later went public at the amfAR Gala Cannes.
Before Klum dated Kaulitz, she was in a relationship with Vito Schnabel for three years. They broke up in September 2017, after the art curator was allegedly seen kissing another woman.
Despite her now-fiancé being 16 years younger, she told InStyle back in July that age is just a number.
"My boyfriend is many years younger than me, and lots of people are questioning that and asking about it," the model said. "That's really the only time when age seems to be shoved in my face and I have to give an answer for it. I don't really think about it that much otherwise."
The couple debunked engagement rumors back in September after Klum wore a diamond ring on her left finger, but a source toldPeople Magazine that Klum is "so in love."
"He is the kindest, sweetest, most caring, loving person. I feel so lucky. I don't know the last time I was this happy in my life," Klum told People earlier this year. "He is absolutely wonderful. Maybe it is because he is German and we understand each other in a different way. But so far so good."
Klum's engagement comes six years after her divorce from musician Seal (Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel.) She told Marie Claire back in 2013 that she had no rush for marriage. "Maybe if I'm with someone for 15 or 20 years, and we do it in our old age as a fun thing to do," Klum said. "But I don't have the urgency anymore."
A lot has changed for the mother of two since then, including leaving Project Runway and judging several seasons of America's Got Talent. However, more is to come for the bride-to-be!
