Los Angeles - Supermodel Heidi Klum is hanging up her wings and quitting her role as an "angel" for "Victoria's Secret", the US lingerie company confirmed on Thursday.

Klum, 37, who has four children and is married to British singer Seal, told the New York Post that she would not be taking part in the annual November fashion show by the upmarket lingerie chain, for whom she's modelled for 13 years.

The German beauty dazzled audiences last year when she strode the Victoria's Secret runway in underwear just five weeks after giving birth.

"All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria's Secret. It has been an absolutely amazing time", Klum told the New York Post in Paris during fashion week.

Victoria's Secret parent company Limited Brands confirmed on Thursday that Klum's role with the lingerie line was ending.

"Heidi will always be an Angel," Ed Razek of Limited Brands said in a statement. Klum made her debut as a Victoria's Secret model in 1997 and became an Angel, or brand spokesperson, in 1999.

No reason was given for the break, but Klum is expected to turn her attention to other projects including her role as host of TV reality fashion design show Project Runway.

She and Seal also are about to shoot a pilot show for US television that gives different couples their dream weddings.

Seal and Klum released a steamy music video this week for the singer's new single Secrets, which features the naked couple in bed together.
