Heidi Klum received a mixed reaction when she pranked her fans with a fake prosthetic belly in aid of April Fool’s Day.
The supermodel and mother-of-four, 49, shares Leni, 18, Henry, 17, Johan, 16, and Lou, 13, with her ex-husband Seal.
America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel shared a photo of co-star Sofía Vergara kissing Heidi’s ‘baby bump.’
The star captioned the snap: ‘Congratulations. @heidiklum Co-workers @sofiavergara and I are the first know. #agt.’
However, the remark was branded ‘distasteful and disappointing’ particularly by those who cannot have children.
‘Pregnancy jokes aren’t really funny anymore,’ one fan replied.

‘Very tacky to post something like this while there are so many struggling with infertility,’ another added.
‘Not a pregnancy joke for April Fools.. Wow. I’m honestly disappointed,’ a third responded.
According to NHS statistics, around 1 in 7 couples may have difficulty conceiving.
Heidi recently spoke about possibly wanting to have a child with her husband, Tom Kaulitz.
‘I mean it’s a lot. I’ve done it four times. I breastfed eight months each time [with my four kids] and then I was pregnant again,’ she said during the Jennifer Hudson Show in February.

‘Three times in a row. Again [my children are] 18, 17, 16, and then 13. Now I waited a long time, so maybe [yes].
In 2022 the TV personality gushed to US Weekly about how quickly Tom blended with her family after getting married.
‘[Tom’s] amazing. I’m sure it’s not easy to step into an immediate family, having all of a sudden four kids and teenagers.
‘They were easier when they were younger, for sure. Every age comes with its challenges. … It’s beautiful. It’s fun. I mean, so far, so good.’
