Heidi Klum‘s year of freeing the nipple keeps rolling on … because she hit the beach once again without a bikini top.

The supermodel and her husband Tom Kaulitz were spotted walking down to the ocean on St. Barts earlier this week … both of their bare chests puffed out.

The two laughed and smiled while wading into the water together … holding hands and later locking lips.

The lovebirds later retreated to the beach where Heidi threw on a yellow top, obscuring the view of her chest … though her long legs certainly still drew some eyes.

Heidi’s topless form might be old news to TMZ loyalists at this point … because this ain’t the first time we’ve shared half-naked pics of this star with you in recent weeks.

Remember, Heidi ended her year by stripping off her top and diving into the water on a couple of separate occasions … at one point sipping on a drink in the ocean and seemingly unbothered to drop her top in front of her and Tom’s friends.

We later saw her in a baby blue bikini, so we thought she’d gotten tired of the public frenzy surrounding her nudity … then, earlier this week, we saw her splashing around the water and packing on the PDA with Tom sans top once more.

Police have finally arrested a suspect in Dr. Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe‘s murders … with officials taking a man named Michael McKee into custody, who is reportedly Monique’s ex-husband.

The Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois tells TMZ … McKee was booked early today and is on an out-of-state hold.

We’ve obtained McKee’s mug shot … and, he’s staring straight into the camera with no expression — hair a mess and a pair of thick glasses on his face.

According to 10TV — a local Ohio outlet which is citing court records — police filed an arrest warrant for McKee after tracing his car on the night of the murders using surveillance footage.

Cops reportedly say the vehicle arrived in the area shortly before and left shortly after the killings. Online records say he’s now facing 2 murder charges.

As you know … the Tepes were killed in the early morning hours of December 30 and found by concerned friends hours later — and, we shared the harrowing 911 audio with you which captured the intensity of the scene.

Police released video of a person of interest walking near the Tepes house around the time the two were killed … and asked the public for any help identifying that person.

The Tepes had two young children — a four-year-old and a one-year-old — both of whom were unharmed and are staying with family members in the aftermath of the slayings.

Melissa Gilbert denounced child sex abuse weeks before her husband, Timothy Busfield, was charged in a criminal complaint accusing him of criminal sexual contact with a minor and child abuse.

Gilbert’s condemnation of such activities came via a Nov. 15 Instagram post in which she reflected on a troubling fact about her days on “Little House on the Prairie.”

She noted that her character was scripted to fall in love with a years-older love interest, played by Dean Butler, and she said she now knows how inappropriate it was. The pair had an 8-year age gap.

She continued … “Thank God my mom and Michael and so many others were there to make sure I was safe. Can you imagine if I hadn’t had them all?”

She also called out Megyn Kelly for her comments that Jeffrey Epstein “was into the barely legal type” while seemingly debating his status as a pedophile.

We told you all about the Timothy Busfield development — Melissa’s husband was accused of sexually abusing underage boys who were child actors on “The Cleaning Lady” while he was directing it. An investigation into Busfield commenced in November 2024, and a warrant for his arrest was issued Friday.

However, during a police interview, Busfield told detectives the show’s lead actress, Elodie Yung, claimed the mom of the 2 boys wanted revenge for her kids not being invited back for the show’s final season.
