Earlier today, supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband of seven years, pop artist Seal formally announced that they have decided to separate.  The pair issued a joint statement through their publicist asking for respect and privacy during this difficult time for their family.

While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. 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.

Despite balancing their hectic career schedules, Seal and Heidi are obviously very devoted parents to their three, gorgeous biological children  Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2, as well as Heidi’s 7-year-old daughter Leni from a previous relationship (whom Seal legally adopted three years ago).

It’s so sad to to say auf wiedersehen to one of Hollywood’s mainstay couples, but we wish them all the best.
