Heidi Klum Declares Love for Boyfriend Vito Schnabel

Heidi Klum loves Vito Schnabel and she wants the world — or at least her 1.7 million Instagram followers — to know it. To mark the art dealer's 29th birthday, the supermodel, 42, posted a selfie of them together on Monday. "I love you my V," the America's Got Talent judge wrote. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." Those are surprising words from Klum, who usually uses photos and emojis to express her feelings about Schnabel. She's been more tight-lipped about their romance than those in her past.

Those smiles could be the result of their vacation in Saint-Tropez. They have been soaking up the sun aboard a yacht in the French Riviera. They were photographed kayaking together — she let him do the work — as well as cuddling up on their sweet ride.

The couple, who was first linked in February 2014, took a break from swimsuit selfies (her) and waterskiing (him) to attend Leonardo DiCaprio's star-studded charity event last Wednesday. Klum wore a low-cut, flowing white dress to the bash held at Domaine Bertaud Belieu winery in Saint-Tropez. Schnabel — who knows how to squire a famous woman, having been linked to Demi Moore, Liv Tyler, and Elle Macpherson — kept it casual in a white button down and black pants.

Despite their significant age gap, the pair has stuck together for a year and a half. In fact, Monday also marked one year since their official coming out as a couple. It was last year on Schnabel's birthday that Klum posted the first personal photo of them together since they had started dating.
First photo. First public declaration of love. So basically we'll have to check the twice-divorced Project Runway guru's Instagram page for any engagement news. We'll be looking.
