Earlier this week, they were spotted shepherding her children into Starbucks, while a few days before, they shared a romantic breakfast together.

So it was no surprise that new couple Heidi Klum and her bodyguard-turned-boyfriend Martin Kristen were spotted out together again on Friday.

The pair took a ride through Beverly Hills in Heidi's SUV through Beverly Hills, with the German-born model at the wheel.

Later the star emerged looking stunning in a floral and white mini dress which showed off her long lean legs.

Teamed with a pair of light brown boots, and white rimmed aviator sunglasses, the 39-year-old model looked chic and casual as she made her way to a hair appointment after dropping her children at school.

Kristen has worked for Heidi for four years as her bodyguard and is now making the transition from bodyguard to family man.

Heidi announced her split from Seal in January this year . The estranged couple have three children together - Henry, six, Johan, five, and two-year-old Lou, while Seal is stepfather to eight-year-old Leni.

Heidi admitted for first time that the pair were seeing each other on the Katie Couric Show earlier this month.

She did however stop short of calling the romance a 'relationship.'

The German model told Couric on her talk show that her romance with Martin had 'just started,' after Couric asked if she is in a 'proper relationship.'

She said: 'I don't even know if I can call it that. I don't know.'

She then elaborated on her friendship with Martin whom she has known for four years.

He's been with our family for the last four years,' she said. 'He’s cared for our entire family, mostly for our four children, helped us tremendously.

'I trust him with my children’s life. He’s a great man, you know, and we just got to know each other from a completely different side.'

Couric also addressed Heidi's ex-husband Seal's comments that Heidi had been having an affair with Martin while they were still married, asking her: 'He accused you of quote, "fornicating with the help", implying you were having an affair with your bodyguard while you were married.'

The talk show host added: 'He then clarified the comment and said "before your divorce was final."

'But what did you think about his comments, how he said them, because a lot of people were put off by his choice of words?'

Heidi said: 'Yes, he has a very unique choice of words. I'm used to them. I don't know. I don't love that. Obviously, it's not true. I’ve never looked at another man while I was with him.

'And it's hard when you think that he thinks that, you don't know...he was hurt...' she added.

According to the Project Runway host, they have both moved on since announcing their split back in January this year, although the increased media scrutiny has put pressure on her new relationship.

'He's moved on,' said Heidi. 'When we separated he's moved on and so have I. And it's very hard when you start seeing somebody again, you know. All of a sudden. It's hard then when everyone is watching you. It's almost like you can't have a real proper chance in a way.

'And I do want to date again. I'm turning 40. I don't even know where it's going to go.'

She acknowledged she and Seal aren't 'the greatest of friends' in the wake of their split, adding that she was stunned when the singer alluded to her having an affair with her bodyguard.

Heidi said the pair are talking, but for now she's taking it 'one day at a time'.

To 'show off' implies that you are deliberately parading or displaying something. Heidi is not showing off her legs, she is going about her business wearing a dress.

I wonder if Heidi regrets having so MANY children with Seal now. I always wondered why she had more than one with him. Now 4 kids are left in a broken family situation - her first daughter never had a father as Flavio Briatore made it clear to Heidi right from the start that he didn't want anything to do with a baby but she went ahead and proceeded with the pregnancy anyway. Heidi's looking good in the dress - shame about the boots which lower the tone of the outfit completely.
