Heidi Klum and Seal To Separate After Seven Years Of Marriage
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate," reads a joint statement from the couple. "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." "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." The pair, married in 2005, have four children together, including Klum's 7-year-old daughter from her previous marriage who Seal adopted in 2009. Seal popped the question to her with a yellow diamond ring of more than 10 carats in an igloo he built at a Canadian ski resort for the occasion. "They've had a very rough road lately," a friend tells 'Us Weekly'. "They're either madly in love or having crazy fights." Heidi Klum (photos
