Heidi Klumis enjoying a date night at the2018 Emmy Awards— and her kids aren’t having it.
“They always want to come with me — ‘Mom, can we please come?’ — but I always say, ‘It’s kind of work, I’m talking to a lot of television stations, we’re doing photos and then we’re sitting and you have to be quiet,’ ” theAmerica’s Got Talentjudge told PEOPLE on the red carpet.
“I think it is not as fun as a movie [premiere] or something like that, or music,” added Klum, 45, who attended Monday’s ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles alongside boyfriendTom Kaulitz. (Her showProject Runwayis nominated.)
She explained of her children Lou Sulola, 9 next month, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo, 11,Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu, 13, and Leni, 14, “For them, it’s a little bit boring.”

Klum — whoannounced earlier this monththat she, alongside co-hostTim Gunn, will exitProject Runwayafter 16 seasons — previously opened up about why she keeps her children mostly off of social media and never shows their faces.
“My oldest daughter [Leni] is 13 and she wants to post her face and I always say, ‘No, you’re not allowed to,’ ” the supermodeland fashion designerexplained in July 2017 during an appearance onLive with Kelly and Ryan. “Whenever she’s in it, it has to be from the back or [having her face concealed somehow].”

In September 2017, the model chatted with PEOPLE exclusively about her sons, calling them “very sexy” in that she sees a lot of her ex-husband in one of their appearances.
“[Henry] looks like Seal and I think Seal is very hot and very handsome,” Klum said. “He looks just like his dad — he has this little gap here in his teeth.”
She added of younger son Johan, “His hair is just so wild and big. My little one has the most gorgeous hair.”
