Heidi Klum and Seal Reveal Plans for Divorce
Popular singer Seal and his supermodel wife, Heidi Klum, announced this week that they are collectively filing for divorce, according to a recent report from celebrity sleuth TMZ.
The couple released a joint statement this week that put an end to swirling rumors that their marriage was on the rocks. In their own words, “while we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate.”
The couple also said, “we have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart.”
Alas, the couple has grown apart, and there’s little an adoring public can do to repair the union of the celebrity power couple, who wed in 2005 and have raised four children together, including Klum’s daughter from a prior relationship.
Klum and Seal won the admiration of many people in 2005, as they presented an odd, but emotionally touching partnership.
A childhood disease rendered Seal’s face and neck heavily scarred, and the supermodel’s relationship with him seemed to serve as a sort of inspiration to others with some disfigurement, or lesson about compassion, or perhaps nothing at all.
Regardless of the meaning behind their union, the public embraced their marriage, and Seal and Klum’s careers were both bolstered by their relationship.
And, at least publicly, they appeared to be very happy. Klum and Seal both starred in the music video “Secret,” they famously renewed their marital vows on each anniversary, and often made public appearance together, in which they were typically seen canoodling like happy lovers.
The two also hosted epic Halloween bashes each October when they would dress in famously bizarre outfits.
Adding a bit of saccharine to the obituary for the couple’s marriage, the website The Ledger observed that, in a 2007 interview with the Associated Press, Seal described his wife as his “best friend.”
Unfortunately, though, Seal’s “best friend” may have to do some physical remodeling, as she has a tattoo of his name on her arm, according to sources.
The divorce announcement comes at a strange time for the signer of “Kiss From a Rose,” as he also plans to release his newest album this week. The album, “Soul 2,” contains songs like “Love T.K.O,” “Let’s Stay Together” and “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore.”
The couple, however, hopes to have a peaceful divorce, and both appear prepared to handle the unique difficulties that arise when protecting children in divorce.
In their own words, “[t]his is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.”
