Seal is now officially the legal father of Heidi Klum’s daughter Leni.

Although Seal is now officially Leni’s father, he says that not much has changed in their house. “It doesn’t make [Leni] any more or less my daughter,” he notes. “She always has been.”

Seal added, “All it means is that both Heidi and I wanted her to have the same last name as the rest of us…It was about Leni. I don’t want her to feel different because I know what that’s like, being a kind of stepson. And I don’t want that dynamic for my little girl.”

Leni’s bilogical father is Flavio Briatore who Seal calls a “gentleman” during the whole adoption process. Flavio has never been involved in Leni’s life. Seal also noted that he has ”a tremendous amount of respect for him.”

Seal added that, “I certainly have nothing but good things to say about the way he’s been with us and he’s more than welcome to see Leni any time he wants to.”

Seal calls his family of six the “perfect life.” Heidi recently gave birth to the couple’s fourth child Lou and also have two son Henry,4 and Johan,3. “The harder you work … and visualize something, the luckier you get,” he notes. “The luck comes in the fact that Heidi and I have healthy children and we are relatively healthy, too.”

When it comes to Heidi Klum’s post-baby body and how she lost the weight so quickly he says that most of it is due to her genetics and she is a very balanced eater. He added, ““And it’s not that she’s worked out like a fiend to get back in shape either. I find it really unattractive, women who do that. Heidi isn’t a gym buff. She’s like her mum who’s 65 and is more active than I am. I have no problem putting my feet up and watching football but my mother-in-law is always doing stuff. Heidi’s the same.”
