In the April issue of Elle magazine, on news stands March 20th, Heidi Klum has a photo spread sporting Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein and Burberry and looking a bit thinner than usual. She gave Elle a brief interview about her split from Seal after seven years of marriage and four children. She discussed why she hasn’t said anything to the press about the breakup, how she feels about Seal speaking with the media and how she and the kids are doing now.
“I don’t want to talk positively or negatively about the ups and downs that we had. Every couple goes through things. Unfortunately, we’re in the public, so the highs are out there. But I don’t think it’s necessary—especially for our children—to have the lows being printed in magazines and talked about.
To the outside world, you don’t really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides. But I don’t really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business – I want to go forward. I feel like already there are so many things being said about us – about him, about me. I’m not going to comment. Otherwise it makes you angry. You can’t always call and say, ‘This is not true, but this part is true.’ “
When asked her feelings about
Seal speaking to media about the divorce right away, Heidi replied, “‘He’s a grown man. I can’t tell him what to do and what not to do. It’s hard. People don’t need to know who did what. I don’t want to talk positively or negatively about the ups and downs that we had.”Regarding how she is holding up in the wake of the divorce and the media coverage she told Elle, “I’m a lioness. I have four cubs. I’m a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. I don’t want to talk about them, or him, or me. I feel like I’m in the eye of the tornado. It’s emotions inside of your body that are a tornado. And then the outside world doing all this craziness—with you wanting it or not wanting it—is another tornado. But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curve-ball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn’t expect. I’m not a robot. I’m not made of stone.”
Many people originally did not believe the couple were really divorcing because their public image of their marriage was so strong. Also, Seal had an album come out just as the divorce was announced. Sadly, it’s starting to be evident that the marriage is indeed over.
