‘America’s Got Talent’ judge Heidi Klum let us in on a little secret about those recently tweeted racy Instagram pics. Her mom, Ema Klum, is her chief photographer.

After returning from a vacation in the Bahamas, the German model let the cat out of the bag in New York City earlier this week.

“You will be surprised when you hear that my mom takes most of the photos. Yeah, my mom and dad. They were on holiday. Yes, so my mom can take some good photos.”

She added with a smile, “And I’m European. I don’t like wearing tops. And I don’t like tan lines.”

Gunther Klum is a cosmetics company executive, which may explain how his daughter transitioned from a high-paid model to a successful businesswoman and artist who paints and sculpts in addition to her television gigs.

You can catch the former Victoria’s Secret celeb Tuesday’s and Wednesday at 9/8c on the NBC reality talent contest ‘America’s Got Talent’ with judges Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and Melanie Brown.

She also hosts the Lifetime fashion design competition ‘Project Runway’ Thursday’s at 9/8c.
