Project Runway’s Heidi Klum is pregnant with baby number four, due this fall. Klum, 35, is married to British singer Seal, 46.

The baby girl will join one sister and two brothers. Leni – Klum’s daughter from her marriage to Italian businessman Flavio Briatore – is the oldest of the siblings. Leni’s given name is Helene Boshoven Klum. Helene is a German form of Helen, a Greek name meaning “Light. One who is bright.”

Brother Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel is next. Henry is named after Seal (born Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel) and Klum’s father, Gunther.  In German, the meaning of Henry is “Rules his household.” Gunther, another German moniker, means “Warrior.”

Klum’s third child, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, will be two years older than his soon-to-arrive baby sister. Johan is the German form of John, and in Greek means “Gift from God.”

Klum – the first German to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition – became a naturalized American citizen in 2008.
