After much back and forth about the possible divorce of Heidi Klum and Seal, they’ve confirmed together to People Magazine that they have in fact, decided to split. We were sad to hear it when the story broke, and now that they’ve released their joint statement, it’s heartbreaking. We were rooting for these two and hoping the rumors were untrue. I guess not. See the statement inside

“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.”
