SPLIT: Heidi Klum And Seal, After 7 Years Of Marriage

Ack! This one actually hurts a little. Supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal have confirmed that they are ending their seven-year marriage.

The pair, who began dating in 2003 and wed in 2005, released a statement saying they will be devoting their energies to their children as they move forward with the split. “While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate,” the couple said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. “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. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.”

Klum and Seal have four children — Leni, 7, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2. Leni, Klum’s daughter from a previous relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, was adopted by Seal in 2009.
