While Heidi Klum was raising her family with Seal, she didn't exactly take much time off to do so. Rather, she still had quite the active modeling career in addition to working in television. Most notably, she spent 16 seasons as the host of the popular show Project Runway alongside her "television husband" Tim Gunn. And in 2013, after a slew of nominations, she finally won an Emmy Award for her work on the show. Congrats, Heidi!
Although she loved the show, Klum eventually decided to leave Project Runway to work on a new program, Making the Cut. "It's really hard for me too, in a way, because it's been my baby," she explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I helped create the show, sell the show to the networks, and really get it off the ground."
Klum is also a longtime judge on the reality show juggernaut America's Got Talent alongside Simon Cowell, Terry Crews, Howie Mandell, and others. According to Hello! magazine, she considers herself lucky to have that gig.
