Heidi Klumis preparing for her eldest child to leave the nest.
In a new interview withEntertainment Tonight, theAmerica’s Got Talenthost, 49, opened up about the emotions she’s feeling as her 18-year-old daughterLenigets ready to leave for college in New York City.
“I am [so proud],” Klum told the outlet Monday. “You know, she has her head screwed on right.
“Right now, college is on top of the list. It’s not modeling and she’s really excited for that next chapter in her life,” she added.
The proud mom said the next chapter means Leni is “unfortunately” moving out.
“Which is obviously sad but at the same time that she’s got enough to go for it,” she toldET. “She’s moving to New York. I started in New York, so she knows New York inside and out because we shotProject Runwaythere for so many years.”

“I’m so excited for her, but more excited for her that she just got into the school she always wanted to go to,” she toldJenna Bush HagerandWillie Geist.
