Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' break-up? Duh. Katy Perry and Russell Brand's bust? Saw it coming from miles away. But Heidi Klum and Seal?!!! Who saw this divorce coming? Yes, it's true, says TMZ: The model and Project Runway host and her singer hubby, who married May 10, 2005 at Seal's beachfront home in Mexico, are reportedly calling it quits! Sources with direct knowledge say Heidi will file divorce papers in L.A. County Superior Court as early as next week. Apparently, she will cite the ever popular "irreconcilable differences" as the reason the marriage is OVER.
UGH! What the heck?! This disheartening news actually strikes as more shocking than almost any recent Hollywood breakup.
The biggest clue we could have had to see this coming was Heidi showing up sans Seal to the Golden Globes, but other than that, all we've ever heard about the couple is how they were incredibly, ridiculously, gloriously happy. Remember how Heidi basically described meeting Seal as love at first sight? This is a couple who renewed their vows every year on their anniversary! Even as recently as last spring they went to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach to keep the tradition.
It's also surprising, because Heidi and Seal seemed to keep a relatively low profile with their relationship ... which you would think would serve to help keep the relationship healthy and happy, right?
Not only does this split come as such a shock, but it's also kind of tragic. Think about the kids, oh, the kids! Ack. Other recent bust-ups thankfully haven't involved children, but Heidi and Seal have had three children together, and Seal even adopted Heidi's eldest daughter from a prior relationship. I'm sure this divorce couldn't possibly easy on these poor kiddos.
Plus, if these two -- who seemed to have such a blissful, supposedly perfect love -- can't make it work, can anyone in showbiz?! Or is it just proof that celebrity marriages are rarely ever what they seem? Who knows, but one thing's for sure: This is one Hollywood divorce story that will make many of us genuinely sad.
Are you shocked by Heidi and Seal's split?

I think is very sad,poor kids!
they seemed so happy,well i guess, we will never know what really happend there.
Celebrities seem to think they're exempt from the "sharing your life" aspect of marriage. Really, if your marriage is in trouble (and this is ALL celebs, and regular people too - not just targeted at Heidi and Seal), please, PLEASE, let some professional opportunities go by untaken and stay home every now and then. Cut tours short. Appear on fewer TV shows. It's worth it. How are you suppposed to make a marriage work when you're never together?
I don't like to see couples in general not just "CELEBRITIES" that's been married for a while all of a sudden get divorced. You would think whatever bump in the road they hit, they could find a way to work through it. Only in a perfect world though! That's just my wishful thinking. lol
shocked and disheartened as well. Though im not a huge fan of seal's, I am a huge fan of heidi klum.She is such a class act. For many years she was dubbed 'the catalogue queen" bc she had difficulty finding high fashion work. When she came to the US, she knew not a lick of English. When she was living in NY with a few other young models, she quickly put on 20 pounds bc she would pass by a bakery on the way to work. Never having seen pastries in Russia (have any of you had desserts in other countries? they are awful!) she could not resist the muffins at the bakery, so much so, that she had to lose that weight to work again and was jokingly referred to as 'muffin'.
Of all the thinkgs Ms. Klum is known for, I always appreciated the fact that she was honest and down to earth enough to say that the reason she looked like a supermodel 5 weeks after giving birth was bc she is one. AND that most women do not have the genetics to do so (so they should stop stressing themselves out so much)
I am surprised. I thought they were really in love.
Somebody messed up.
Seeing as they renewed their vows EVERY YEAR...totally saw it coming.
Well, I personally wondered once or twice about the state of their "fabulous" marriage. Any couple that seems to feel the need to go on and on about their spectacular sex life, and how wonderful their marriage is in general, leaves me a little suspicious. Maybe if they had spent a bit more time working on their marriage, and less time talking about it, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
people change but I still take my vows very seriously
