Heidi Klum is pushing back against one of Hollywood’s biggest beauty obsessions.
As fans continue to speculate on celebrities’ use of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, the supermodel says she has zero interest in following the trend.
Klum credits husband Tom Kaulitz with changing the way she sees her body after years of relentless pressure to stay thin.

“I’m not interested at all,” Klum told Us Weekly, referring to the weight-loss drugs.
The 53-year-old admitted she’s put on weight in recent years, but says she now believes it suits her better than the ultra-slim look the modeling world has demanded for decades.
“I’ve gained weight over the years. I’m no longer a size 24 jean. But I think with age, we look better when we’re not as skinny.”
The turning point, she said, came from her husband, Kaulitz.

“My husband was the first one who pointed that out. He said, ‘You should eat more; you would look better if you had more meat on your bones.’ I was like, ‘What?’ This is not something you’re told in the industry, ever, because you’re always supposed to be skinnier than you are.”
The “America’s Got Talent” judge admitted her husband had a point.

“When I look back at photos, I’m like, ‘He’s right!’ Proportion-wise, I look better bigger.”
The supermodel and German guitarist secretly married in February 2019. The couple later celebrated their marriage with a lavish ceremony aboard the super yacht Christina O. off the coast of Capri, Italy.
Although Klum has no desire to try Ozempic herself, she’s not criticizing those who do.

“In general, people should do what they want. It’s the same with Ozempic,” she said. “A lot of people have a hard time getting that jumpstart, and if you’ve always struggled with your weight and for 40 years you’ve been trapped and it’s been such a big focus of your life, then maybe this is a great thing to try.”
“That has never been part of my life, so it’s hard for me to judge. If you look in the mirror and you’re not happy with something and you want to fix it, fix it.”
The same goes for Botox and facelifts, Klum said, arguing that confidence — not cosmetic perfection — is what people ultimately notice.
“What makes a person sexy is knowing their self-worth and knowing who they are. That oozes sexiness,” she said.
“When people are looking at every measurement of their booties, [or] at cellulite, it’s like, ‘Is this really what makes me who I am? There’s so much more to me.’ It’s about feeling great in your skin and knowing what you can do.”
