Haters can hate all they want on Heidi Klums relationship with her younger beau, but it wont change a thing when it comes to her boyfriend of over two years.

The 43-year-old supermodel has been dating art dealer Vito Schnabel, 30, since early 2014 and spoke to Ocean Drive about the media labeling her a cougar.

Its not about age, Klum said. It doesnt matter what people say. As long as you know when you close your door in your own home, you have an amazing time together. Thats all that really matters.

We couldnt have said it better ourselves.

The mother-of-four who split in 2012 from singer Seal says shes used to intense scrutiny given her high profile as a model and TV host. Perhaps thats helped her develop a thicker skin when it comes to criticism of her relationship with Schnabel.

We have an amazing connection, we have fun together, and we love each other, Klum said about Schnabel, who is 13 years her junior.

She added that their mutual passion for art is something they enjoy together and called Schnabel an amazing teacher.

Other female celebrities have also spoken out about their cougar status, including everyone from Madonna to Courteney Cox. The pop queen herself has dubbed men her own age, undateable.

As for Klum, shes unfazed by aging, saying shes even looking forward to being a good grandma one day.
