Heidi Klum latest news: Klum and beau, Vito Schnabel spotted at a romantic getaway; Klum also spends a heartfelt Christmas with family including ex-husband Seal

Heidi Klum seems to be having the best Christmas holiday ever. The 41-year-old was spotted hanging out with boyfriend, 28-year-old Vito Schnabel at St. Barts for a relaxing and romantic vacation. She showed the world her gorgeous figure in hotpants and was sporting a pair of aviator glasses with her blonde hair tied back into a ponytail. The couple had been dating for almost a year now.

Vito Schnabel was spotted in powder blue swimming trunks showing over his toned body as the pair headed over to the beach to catch a couple of waves. Schnabel is an art dealer and the son of Oscar-nominated director Julian Schnabel.

The love story of the duo began last February after Klum's split with her bodyguard-turned-boyfriend of two years Martin Kirsten. On Vito's part, this is not his first time dating someone years older than him as he had been known for a series of high string romances for the past few years including Demi Moore, Liv Tyler and Elle Macpherson.

But it would seem that Klum is so enamored with her new romance that she had also taken lengths to arrange a Christmas family get together in Los Angeles. Aside from her children and her new love interest, her ex-husband Seal was also invited. Klum was formerly married to the singer in a seven-year marriage until their divorce in 2012 though the two have remained good friends. According to a source from Daily Mail, "Seal has agreed to meet Vito and spend time getting to know him as he's spending so much time with his kids. She's even discussed the idea of marrying Vito with Seal and he's given his blessing." Seal also suggested that they should have a bonding activity in order to get to know his ex-wife's new squeeze better and to "ensure there's no animosity between them" according to a source by Sun Daily.
