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.

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.
