AceShowbiz - Heidi Klum, the 51-year-old supermodel, has been candid about the backlash she faced due to her 16-year age difference with her husband, Tom Kaulitz. After marrying the 35-year-old Tokyo Hotel musician in 2019, Klum has to navigate criticism and cruel messages regarding their relationship.

In an effort to shield herself from negativity, Klum decided to turn off her Instagram comments. She's determined not to let the harsh words rain on her parade. "I have a tough skin. I can cut out the noise when I go home, close the door and have a barbecue with the kids," she stated.

Klum, who dislikes the term "toy boy," emphasized that their age difference is inconsequential, highlighting the double standards in how relationships with older women and younger men are perceived.

Despite the criticism, Klum and Kaulitz have found ways to laugh about their age gap. "He has to read the menu at dinner or I have to take a photo and zoom in if I forget my reading glasses, but we joke about it," Klum said. This playful attitude towards their differences has strengthened their bond.

The age gap has had its benefits, especially in their sex life. Klum expressed her contentment, stating, "My husband is my match." Crediting her bedroom activities with husband for keeping her fit, she also shared insights into her balanced lifestyle, explaining how she maintains her fitness without overexertion. "I eat right, I never exercise too much or do heavy weights. People can push themselves too hard. I listen to my body. I have no back or knee pain and I have my husband."

Klum's resilience and positivity serve as an example for young people navigating the complexities of relationships and societal expectations. By embracing their differences and focusing on their mutual love and respect, Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz exemplify that true love transcends age.
