Heidi Klum's boyfriend denied cheating rumors on Monday after photos surfaced of him appearing to kiss another woman.
"The claims that have been made are a misinterpretation of an entirely innocent situation," he said.
"There is nothing more to this than I was simply saying goodnight to a family friend and then we went our separate ways."
The Daily Mail published photos Friday of Schnabel kissing an unidentified woman in a taxi in London following an evening at Chiltern Firehouse.
Sources said the art dealer exited the cab and entered his hotel alone, while the woman continued on to a different address.Klum was first linked to Schnabel in March 2014 following her split from boyfriend Martin Kristen. She defended her 13-year age difference with the 30-year-old art dealer in the December issue of Ocean Drive.
"It's not about age. We have an amazing connection, we have fun together, and we love each other," the 44-year-old model told the magazine.
Klum was previously married to Seal, and shares four children, 13-year-old daughter Helene, 11-year-old son Henry, 10-year-old Johan and 7-year-old daughter Lou with the singer.
She is presently filming "America's Got Talent" in New York.
