Klum dating her bodyguard?

New York, Sep 1 (IANS) Supermodel Heidi Klum is said to be dating her bodyguard after she was spotted getting close to him during a vacation.

The 39-year-old catwalk queen was on a family getaway to Sardinia, Italy, where she was spotted getting close to her bodyguard of four years, Martin Kristen.

"It's complicated. Their relationship is hard to define," people.com quoted a friend as saying.

"Her inner circle of people she trusts is getting smaller and smaller and he is her No. 1 confidante."
