New Delhi:
Heidi Klum and Seal confirmed to People magazine that they are splitting.
Over the weekend, the buzz on the split of the supermodel from her singer husband of over six years was reported by several celebrity news websites like TMZ and Radar Online. However, there was no statement from the couple or their reps.
Now, People magazine is carrying a statement from Heidi and Seal saying they have decided to separate. The couple have requested privacy for the sake of their children.
January appears to be a month of separation in Hollywood with last week closing with reports of Johnny Depp and his partner of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis, leading "sad and separate lives".
As reported by TMZ earlier, the Heidi and Seal will apparently file divorce papers in the LA County Superior Court early this week. Heidi will cite 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split.
Heidi, a Victoria's Secret Angel, actor, TV host and entrepreneur, married Soul and R&B singer Seal on May 10, 2005. They have three biological children, Henry, Johan and Lou. Seal adopted Heidi's eldest girl, Leni, from a prior relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.
Just last month Heidi had posted a picture with Seal on Twitter. " Sun and Snow and @Seal," she posted.
Daily Mail reports this was the last time they were seen together.
Just like Depp, Heidi appeared solo at last Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, while Seal was spotted at the LA International Airport on Friday.
Reports of their split come as a surprise to many as the couple has always presented the picture of a happy and loving family.
Heidi and Seal were known to renew their wedding vows every year in lavish ceremonies, usually dressed in outlandish costumes.
Last year they renewed their vows in Florida with Heidi dressed in a Victorian-style mask, while Seal wore a pirate head-dress and navy blue vest.
