Seal admits he didn’t want to be ‘living a lie’ with Heidi!
In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Seal revealed the reason behind his split with Heidi Klum — their kids Leni, 7, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2! “We’re not going to live a lie because of our children,” he said. “The priority is my wife and our children, and I put that before anything else. Everything else will take care of itself.”
Seal says that he and Heidi did not want to make it work solely for the kids. “You hear couples say ‘We stay together because of the kids,’” he said. “I don’t know how healthy that is kids are smarter than the think. They are more intuitive, and if there is any disconnect, they pick up on it.”
And he revealed that the kids are aware of the split: “We talked with them and we tried to explain best we could what’s going on. We spend time explaining to them that things will be different, but a lot of things won’t change.”
Although he said a reconciliation might be possible, that’s not the focus right now. “The main thing is to make sure that they are loved and make sure they understand that their parents love each other,” he explained. “If anything changes, it has nothing to do with them. It may even improve the amount of time we spend with them — the quality time. How present you are when you are with your kids.”
Do YOU think Heidi and Seal should separate?

I read a few years back that Elite Model Agency founder John Casablancas said Heidi had the “heart of a shark” and she’s a “talentless German sausage.” Seal got played big time. He fathered her child with Flavio Batorie and she leaves him when the going gets tough. It’s all downhill from here. No other man is going to last more than a year or she will dump them when she doesn’t get her own way. Karma will catch up to her.

I find them both to be an exceptional couple! I wish them all the best in what it is that will help them continue to grow and keep things real and healthy not only for themselves but their children. I admire the mutual respect shared by them both and their strength to walk away from what they feel needs to end. I wish you both great happiness and love to walk with you always and thank you for setting an example to all abouth strength, honesty and courage to move forwards.

I’ve always admired Seal and Heidi. She is so beautiful and he is so handsome and charming. When they speak of each other they both glow and you can tell it was true love. I certainly hope they can work things out because they have gone through the most difficult years together! Seal and Heidi need to focus on spending quality time with each other and quality together with the kids!! (Adorable Kids) They need both parents!!!!
