This photo is a rare treat: Claudia Schiffer (54) surprised fans by posting a picture of her son on Instagram.

Claudia Schiffer’s son celebrates his birthday

"Happy 22nd birthday, Caspar," Claudia Schiffer writes in an Instagram post shared with her fans. The photo features a young man posing elegantly for the camera.

Caspar, the eldest of the supermodel’s three children, wears a dark sweater paired with a matching coat. He completes his stylish look with a cool cap.

It’s immediately clear that Caspar has inherited his mother’s model genes, looking effortlessly natural and relaxed in the photo. The second picture shows him as a young boy cuddling a cute dog. In both images, his facial features unmistakably reveal that Claudia Schiffer is his mother.

"A man who holds firmly to his beliefs, is honest, smart, and makes me laugh," Claudia writes about her only son in the caption. "I’m ever so proud to be your Mama. I love you."
