Looks like it's over for Heidi Klum and Seal. After seven years of marriage, the supermodel and "Kiss from A Rose" singer announced their separation late Sunday.
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate," Seal, 48, and Klum, 38, said in a joint statement.
"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 couple has three children -- Henry, Johan, and Lou -- as well as Klum's daughter Leni from her relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. In related news, Seal's new album Soul 2 hits stores on Tuesday.
