Heidi Klum isn't a big fan of wearing clothes when she's at home.

On Wednesday's episode of Call Her Daddy, the German model, 50, chatted with host Alex Cooper about visiting nude beaches, adding that she tries to extend that free mentality when she's at home.

"I mean, I try to be like that with my kids. Obviously, when you know, no one is there. I’m in my garden also, you know, I’m topless," Klum says. "And they will come, like, ‘You know, my friend is coming over mom, put your top on.’ And I’m like, ‘When have I ever not had a top on when your friend was coming over? Of course I will.’"

"But they always make sure. ‘Mom, just a little warning what’s going to happen here.’ And I’m like, ‘Don’t worry.’ I also don’t want to flash anyone just to flash someone. I just don’t love tan lines."

Later in the conversation, Cooper called Klum's daughter Leni to ask her about her mom's worst habits, which prompted the 19-year-old to reflect on how her mom was often nude when she was growing up.

“I would have birthday parties at the house. Or I’d have friends over, like my boyfriend over. And she tans topless by the pool," Leni says. "And I remember having my girlfriends over and I’d be so embarrassed and like, scared, because usually in like my friend’s families, I never see my friend’s moms tanning naked at the pool."

"But I thought it was normal. And my friends would always be like, kinda stand off-ish but it was so normal in our family."

Klum shares her four kids — Leni, Henry, 18, Johan, 16, and Lou, 13 — with ex Seal.

Last week, Klum was joined by her older two kids for a night on the town. The mom of four shared scenes from a special dinner in New York City, where she was joined by son Henry and daughter Leni.

"????❤️????❤️," she captioned scenes from their night out together.

Klum also recently shared a shot with all four kids, posing with her husband, Tom Kaulitz, in a casual moment at home together.

In the snap, Klum put her arm around Leni, who lay across her lap. Lou cuddled into Klum, with Leni wrapping her arms around her sister's knees. Johan and Henry sat next to Kaulitz, who was the only one smiling and looking at the camera.

"L❤️VE," Klum captioned the post.
