The first upload in Klum’s post showed Johan accepting his diploma in the school gymnasium at Campbell Hall, a private school in Studio City, California. His full name, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, was announced as he stepped forward to get his diploma.
Johan wore a dress shirt and tie under his graduation gown, along with sneakers. He towered over the staff as he posed for photos and walked across the stage amid cheers.
The second upload in Klum’s post was a short video clip that showed her kissing her son’s cheek. The final highlight was a still photo showing Johan posing with his diploma, Klum smiling as she stood next to him.
