Is Heidi Klum leaving America’s Got Talent? Many believe she might be!

Fans are buzzing with speculation: is Heidi Klum leaving America’s Got Talent (AGT) for good? After spotting some tell-tale signs, many believe this might be the end of her time on the popular NBC competition show. Here’s why AGT viewers are convinced Heidi won’t return for the upcoming season.

New TV gig on the horizon

Heidi’s new job has raised plenty of eyebrows. The supermodel is making a grand return to Project Runway after an eight-year break. Heidi will host the iconic fashion show again. Fans will hear her signature “auf wiedersehen” once more as she takes the reins later this year.

Though the exact premiere date hasn’t been revealed, the series will air on Freeform and stream on Hulu and Disney+. This has many AGT fans wondering if Heidi will have time to juggle both shows. The timing just might be too tight.

A tough choice for Heidi

Fans are quick to point out that Heidi’s return to Project Runway leaves little room for her to continue as a judge on AGT. The shift in networks could also create conflicts. Project Runway is now part of the Disney family, which could clash with NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

Heidi’s busy career

Heidi’s been working nonstop. Recently, she took a relaxing vacation in St. Barts with her husband, Tom Kaulitz. But her career shows no signs of slowing down. She originally hosted Project Runway from its launch in 2004 until 2017, winning an Emmy for her role in the process. With her co-host Tim Gunn, Heidi made the show a massive success, picking up the 2013 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host in a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.

After 16 seasons, Heidi said goodbye to Project Runway. She stated, “After 16 incredible seasons, I am saying ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to Project Runway, a show that I was honored to host and help create.”

Even after her time on Project Runway, Heidi didn’t slow down. She moved on to Making The Cut with Amazon, and she joined America’s Got Talent in 2013, replacing Sharon Osbourne. Heidi even left AGT in 2019, only to return in 2020 for the fifteenth season.

AGT’s ufture: what’s Simon Cowell saying?

The latest season of America’s Got Talent wrapped up in September 2024. Heidi was on the panel with Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mandel. But when asked about the 2025 season, Simon remained tight-lipped.

Speaking to The U.S. Sun, Simon wouldn’t confirm whether Heidi, Sofia, or Howie would return next year. “Let’s start with casting,” Simon said. “Let me get casting right first, and then the other parts will all work.”

Though Simon hinted at bringing back former judges for special moments, like David Hasselhoff or Piers Morgan, he made it clear that America’s Got Talent is about the contestants, not the judges. “It is not us that they tune in to see, it is the acts,” Simon emphasized.

Could this be the end of Heidi’s AGT journey?

As the excitement builds for America’s Got Talent’s 20th season, fans are on edge about the future of the judging panel. With Heidi’s big return to Project Runway and Simon’s cryptic comments, it’s looking like the supermodel might be ready to bid farewell to AGT.

Time will tell if Heidi will make her grand return or if it’s goodbye for good. Either way, fans will continue to speculate and eagerly await any news. Will Heidi Klum make the leap back to America’s Got Talent? Or is it time for a new chapter in her TV career? Stay tuned!
