HEIDI KLUM AND VITO SCHNABEL: BRING ON THE BUBBLY!

AG033376_01heidicut

Heidi Klum arrived at the Nice airport dressed in bellbottoms and MORE than ready to party at the Cannes Film Festival with her 27 year old boyfriend Vito Schnabel. Between yacht parties she’ll host an AMFAR fund raising event. This jet set life style is exactly what she was missing when Heidi was dating her bodyguard Martin Kristen. Heidi and Martin split on good terms (she probably gave him lots of severance pay) and he moved on. Martin reportedly has a job as bodyguard for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia deRossi. No romances are likely to develop THERE!

HEIDI KLUM IS HOPING THIS BREAK-UP WON’T BE HARD TO DO

Heidi Klum and her bodyguard turned boyfriend Martin Kristen seem to be ending their relationship in a civilized manner. They were seen entering and leaving an office building separately and appeared to be visiting a lawyer. No doubt they are working out the details of their split after a year and a half together. Multi-millionaire Heidi, whose endured a traumatic divorce from Seal, is offering Martin a generous “severance payout” for many reasons. First of all, Martin WAS her employee and now he’s out of a job. Second, in exchange for the money, Martin will have to agree never to reveal private information about Heidi or her exhusband Seal. So it’s hush money too. (Above, Heidi and Martin in happier days.)

HEIDI KLUM GOT A NEW BODYGUARD

Deep down, Heidi Klum knew it wasn’t a great idea to date her bodyguard Martin Kirsten. Now that they’ve split up, the many difficulties in their relationship become apparent. It started as a romance of convenience – Martin, 41, was great with her kids while Heidi, 40, was divorcing Seal and feeling lonely. But Martin was always Heidi’s EMPLOYEE and felt awkward in her celebrity world. How did he know if he was on or off-duty? Did Martin aspire to a better career? Heidi probably kept the romance going longer than she should have because her children really liked him. But Heidi and Martin are from two different worlds and had a lot going against them.

HEIDI KLUM AND BODYGUARD/BOYFRIEND: TO WED OR NOT TO WED?

It’s funny how the National Enquirer sometimes contradicts its own scoops without flinching! In July they wrote that Heidi Klum had agreed to marry her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kristen – but only if he signed an iron clad prenup that would not allow him to walk away with a dime of her 70 million dollar fortune. THIS week they wrote that Heidi heard that Martin planned to propose with a Christmas ring and she told him not to. She’s perfectly happy the way things are and doesn’t want to rock the boat. So what’s the REAL story? We’re betting it IS a problem when one person has SO much more money than the other. Plus, she’s his boss!

HEIDI KLUM’S BODYGUARD/BOYFRIEND IS ALWAYS ON DUTY

Heidi Klum’s bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten is in the habit of taking charge when the family goes shopping at The Grove. He walks confidently in the lead- perhaps to frighten off paparazzi. Heidi’s kids are very fond of him so let’s hope the relationship lasts awhile. We wonder if he got a raise when he started dating Heidi.

HEIDI KLUM IS TAKING NO CHANCES WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE

Heidi Klum, 40, and her bodyguard-turned-boyfriend Martin Kristen, 45, have been arguing over the fact that she’s not so interested in getting married again, but Martin thinks it’s the next logical step in their relationship. They have already exchanged gold promise rings and Martin cares for her children like a father. Heidi and her children both love Martin and she doesn’t want to lose him, so she’s trying to work something out. Martin is uncomfortable acting as both bodyguard and boyfriend – he’d like more equality in their relationship and Heidi can’t blame him. According to the National Enquirer, Heidi is planning to have an iron clad prenup, and her 70 million dollar fortune will be held in trust for her children. Martin would walk away from the marriage with nothing. We’re guessing he’ll cooperate.

HEIDI KLUM’S FASHION PROJECT IS HER OWN BOYFRIEND

Like Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum wants her man to look GOOD so she took him shopping at the cool John Varvatos store in West Hollywood. Heidi’s bodyguard-turned-boyfriend Martin Kristen usually wears jeans and t- shirts or black suits while he’s on duty, but now that he’s squiring fashionable Heidi to fancy places, he needs a better wardrobe. Plus, he gets his picture taken almost as often as she does. It looks like Heidi bought him a suit or jacket and maybe some shoes from the fashion forward shop. It’s interesting that Heidi hosts Project Runway, while John Varvatos appears on the competitive design show Fashion Star.

HEIDI KLUM AND MARTIN KRISTEN JUST TOOK THEIR ROMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Something has changed in the relationship between Heidi Klum and her bodyguard/boyfriend Martin Kristen. For the first time they are out in the open with their affection. In other words, they are holding hands in front of the children. In the past they have always kept a professional and discreet distance when Heidi’s four offspring were around. This weekend Heidi and Martin were very much a couple at the park where the kids were playing soccer. Which reminds us of the dilemma: How does Martin know when he’s ON or OFF duty? One more tiny problem for Heidi: She just debuted as a judge on “America’s Got Talent” and the audience is finding her German accent difficult to understand.

HEIDI KLUM AND MARTIN DROP THEIR COOL AND DISTANT FACADE FOR A MOMENT

Well, THIS is a first! Heidi Klum and her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kristen are actually looking coy and flirty with each other at the park! And he cracked a SMILE. Usually they’re very careful not to touch each other or look affectionate in public. We are extremely curious about their romance – we assume he is still on her payroll. When the romance started – did Martin get a raise? Do they live together? How does he know when he is off or on duty? The kids seem very fond of him too so obviously they have worked something out.

WHY HEIDI KLUM’S BODYGUARD IS A BETTER MATCH THAN HER EX-HUSBAND SEAL

#heidiklum #janetcharlton

Heidi Klum finally admitted to a German magazine that she’s “in love“ with her bodyguard Martin Kristen, and we think he’s a good choice for her. Martin has been working for Heidi and her family for four years so he was probably around when Seal said and did the wrong things that led to the marriage break-up. As a result, Martin knows what NOT to do. And Heidi’s had time to get to know him. Plus, Heidi’s kids really like Martin and Heidi trusts him with the children – and herself. The South African born Kristen is always there when Heidi needs him, and he’s free to travel when necessary. He’s not in show business, so there’s no competition, and he avoids the limelight. Plus, he’s age appropriate and employed! Case closed!
