Heidi Klum Reveals the Contents of Her 'Sex Closet' — and How She Was Once 'Laughed at' by a Former Partner (Exclusive)

“She fully knew what it was; but, also she was with a friend and she filmed it and they were giggling, and I was like, ‘Oh my god,’” Klum says of her daughter Leni in PEOPLE's preview of 'The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show'

Heidi Klum is making a NSFW confession.

In PEOPLE's exclusive sneak peek at Klum’s appearance on DearMedia’s The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show, the America's Got Talent judge, 51, opens up about her 20-year-old daughter, Leni, once finding her “sex closet" — and the specific ways she has organized the space.

When co-host Michael Bosstick asks for advice about building a sex closet, Klum replies, “Where do you keep all of your things?”

Bosstick’s wife and co-host Lauryn agrees, saying, "I keep my things. I have an area in my closet, like it’s a drawer” but her husband counters, “No, but you throw these things everywhere and people are just in the house.”

Lauryn then confesses that her daughter Zaza, 4, recently found her vibrator. She recalls, “[Zaza] goes, ‘Mommy, what's this?’ And I said, ‘Honey, it's my facial massager. But, but a whole closet!”

“The thing is probably yours looks cute and pink, you know?” responds Klum, who is married to Tom Kaulitz. “That's the thing. So it could possibly be a facial massager.”

Lauryn then asks what happened when Leni found her mother’s “sex closet.”

“She fully knew what it was,” Klum says. “But, also she was with a friend and she filmed it and they were giggling, and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”

When Lauryn asks if the closet was “organized by moods,” the model replies, “No, it’s one mood.”

“Is it color-coded? How do you organize a sex closet?” Lauryn follows up and Klum jokingly responds, “It’s coordinated by size.”

Michael then inquires about the size of the closet and the television personality clarifies, “It’s a big closet. But, there’s outfits in here and things, you know.”

“You can have a lot of things. You can have wigs, you can have outfits, shoes, boots,” she shares. “I mean, I’ve had relationships in the past where they have been sick and I come home being a nurse and I’m like, ‘How’s my patient?’ And I just got laughed at and I was like, ‘That’s a very, very big red flag!'"

She adds: “Be sick and get your pulse checked.”

While appearing on a January 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, Klum was also joined by Leni, who tuned in via FaceTime to share one of her mom's spicier secrets.

"She found my sex closet," the America's Got Talent judge revealed of her eldest daughter, who confirmed that not only had she found it, she and her pals dug through it to take videos.
