Little has been heard about Heidi Klum's boyfriend, Vito Shnabel, who remains to be low-profile. However, in a rather expressive Instagram post the model made on her beau's 29th birthday, she made it clear to the whole world that she's proud of him and that she loves him very much.
Klum has not been very vocal about her love life since she broke up with her ex-husband Seal. It was last year during Schnabel's 28th birthday that she confirmed that she and her beau are getting serious. Klum's boyfriend is 13 years younger than her, which apparently doesn't affect their relationship.
Here are five surprising things about Klum's boyfriend, Vito Schnabel:
