In 2018, after 16 seasons, the co-hosts left the show that propelled them to their celebrity status. Heidi Klum, speaking to TheWrap about the reason for their exit, said, "Our hands were tied. Because our imagination was bigger than what we were about to do or couldn't do, because there's a certain look to a show that also sometimes you don't want to change."
But Klum was not willing to let go of her friend just yet and it's not hard to see why, considering how far the pair have come — from their days struggling to find their voice to become award-winning presenters and idols to many. Recalling some struggles from those early days, Klum revealed to us in 2021 that she "had so many sweaty palm moments with Tim [Gunn] behind the scrim and like, 'Oh, my gosh.'"
So, just before they left "Project Runway," Klum reached out to her trusted friend and asked for them to link up on another fashion show that they could get really creative with. "I called Tim and I said, 'I'm jumping this ship. Are you with me? I don't know where we're gonna go, but I'm really eager to see what we can do,'" she revealed during a panel in January 2020.
Since jumping off "Project Runway," the co-hosts have launched their own fashion competition show, "Making The Cut," which already has two seasons as of publication.
