Heidi Klum and Seal Separate and Plan to Divorce

Heidi Klum and Seal to Divorce

We didn’t want to believe it at first, but alas, supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband of eight years, Seal, have officially announced their separation. Of all of the celebrity couples to split over the past year, this one came as a sucker punch to us. Seal and Heidi Klum always appeared to have a beautiful love story, topped off by four adorable children, Leni, Henry, Johan and little Lou. It seemed Heidi and Seal were continuously renewing their wedding vows, throwing lavish costume parties each Halloween, and they couldn’t stop recounting the story of how they met at the Mercer Hotel in New York when Heidi was already (gasp!) four months pregnent with little Leni from a previous relationship. Seal took on the couple’s first born child as his own, adopting Leni after her birth. Heidi even recently, legally changed her last name to Samual, Seal’s legal sir name.

Sure Heidi travels the globe promoting and filming her Project Runway franchise and Seal is currently on the road promoting his latest album, Soul 2, but these two should be used to juggling romance, family and hectic work schedules. So what exactly went wrong in Heidi Klum and Seal’s marriage?

Well, according to TMZ who usually does enough dumpster diving to actually get the real story, Heidi Klum has decided to divorce Seal, “largely because she has had it with his volcanic temper.” This is an interesting scoop, reason being, a few years back TMZ actually caught evidence of said temper with their video cameras when Seal and Heidi were waiting for the valet to bring their car around to the curb outside a Los Angeles restaurant. I happened to be flipping channels when I stopped and watched Seal’s less than graceful display of anger towards the paparazzi. Seal was shouting insults at a photographer, calling him names and declaring that he and his kind “ruin people’s lives” with their constant and unrelenting tabloid coverage. Heidi Klum was standing silent and looked embarrased by her hubby’s over the top display of disapproval towards the paps. When the famous couples’ car finally pulled up (an Audi convertable) Heidi quickly jumped into the driver’s seat, looking a bit upset, and Seal got into the passengers seat as the two sped off. We’re guessing an argument ensued back at casa Klum-Samuel.

Everyone knows the paprazzi are invasive and obnoxious but Seal played right into their camera-clad hands by throwing a temper tantrum in front of their video cameras, and no doubt, Heidi was peeved!

The TMZ story also goes on to blame Heidi’s exploding career for the rift that caused the separation. “She has become a mega-entrepreneur and extremely rich, and that professional evolution has created a distance between them,” according to TMZ. Money and success causes famous couple’s to “grow apart.” Kinda sad.

According to TMZ Heidi and Seal are still currently residing under the same roof, though that will change “very soon.”
