Despite Tim expressing that he initially felt “devastated and humiliated” by the reported snub, the Under the Gunn alum has shifted his perspective, choosing to reflect on the immense gratitude he feels for the numerous enriching experiences he has enjoyed over the past two decades in the fashion industry. This journey has shaped him into the person he is today, and he acknowledges the value of those moments, even in the face of disappointment. It’s a testament to his resilience and ability to find positivity in challenging situations.
Tim shared, “I’ve stopped the boo-hooing,” emphasizing his decision to embrace acceptance. “Am I disappointed? Sure,” he continued, noting that while it’s disheartening not to collaborate with Heidi, he believes that everything unfolds for a reason. This mindset illustrates his commitment to moving forward, highlighting his belief in the importance of growth and adaptability in both personal and professional realms.
This experience has also underscored the deep connection he maintains with Heidi Klum, 51. “She was really upset and kept saying, ‘I’m fighting for you, I’m fighting for you,'” Tim revealed. Her unwavering support is a testament to their strong friendship, which he holds dear. He reassured her, saying, “Heidi, just take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.” This exchange not only showcases their bond but also reflects the importance of mutual support in the competitive world of fashion.
Tim, who co-hosted three successful seasons of Amazon Video’s Making the Cut alongside Heidi after his departure from Project Runway in 2017, concluded, “I have her back and I’m with her in spirit always.” This sentiment illustrates the enduring nature of their partnership and the respect they have for one another, regardless of the challenges they face.
