Los Angeles, April 2 : German supermodel Heidi Klum saved her son Henry and two nannies from drowning during a vacation in Hawaii.

Klum was holidaying with her children Leni, 8, Henry, 7, Johan, 6, Lou, 3 and boyfriend Martin Kirsten when Henry and two nannies got caught in a riptide on the island of Oahu Sunday.

"We got pulled into the ocean by a big wave. Of course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water. Henry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely," Klum told usmagazine. com.

The 39-year-old started dating her 40-year-old bodyguard a few months after splitting from husband Seal last year. Friends recently revealed she has fallen completely in love with Kirsten. (IANS)
