Family came first on February 19. As Seal celebrated his 63rd birthday, the spotlight quietly shifted from the stage to something far more personal. His four children — Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou — made sure the day didn’t pass without love.
The singer shares his children with his former wife, Heidi Klum, and this year their messages felt especially heartfelt.
Henry was among the first to post. He chose an old selfie with his father — the kind of picture that feels untouched by time. In it, father and son are wearing matching red pajamas, smiling close to the camera. No red carpet. No performance lights. Just a quiet, playful memory.
Soon after, Leni shared her own tribute.
She posted a tender throwback image from her infancy — a baby cradled securely in her father’s arms. The caption was simple and direct: “Today is my dad’s birthday! I love you.”
For many fans, the post carried extra weight.
Leni is Seal’s adopted daughter, and their bond has long been described as deeply close. In 2003, Heidi was in a relationship with businessman Flavio Briatore when she announced her pregnancy. The couple separated before the baby was born. During that period, Heidi met Seal — and he was present when Leni entered the world in May 2004.
Years later, in 2009, Seal formally adopted her. Her name was changed to Leni Olumi Klum, marking the legal confirmation of a relationship that had already been firmly established in their daily lives.
Heidi and Seal were married from 2005 until 2014. Though their marriage ended, moments like these suggest that the family ties built during those years continue to matter.
No grand statements. No elaborate tributes.
Just old photos, shared memories, and children making sure their father felt celebrated.
And sometimes, that says more than anything else.
