Seal has revealed that he and Heidi Klum still love each other and are good friends following their separation, making everyone wonder exactly why the Hollywood couple have decided to part ways.

Not only did Seal gush about Heidi on television interview, but he has been snapped wearing his wedding ring while out in LA.

He told Ellen Degeneres: “Yes, I am still wearing my ring. I think it’s just pretty much a token of how I feel about this woman. We have eight years.

“Just because we have decided to separate doesn’t necessarily mean you take off your ring and you’re no longer connected to that person.

“We will be connected in many ways ‘til the rest of our lives…. through our children and also through this tremendous admiration, respect and love that we have for each other.”



The singer is currently promoting his album in the US and gave a number of interviews yesterday following the official announcement of their separation.

Although many thought that Seal would be angry following the split – with Heidi apparently being the one who will file for divorce – the Brit was happy to talk about it and said nothing but lovely things about his estranged supermodel wife.

Seal also chatted to Tavis Smiley on PBS, telling the host that and he and Heidi will remain civil and professional throughout their separation.



He said: “What one has to do in this situation is to remain civil, to retain one's dignity, to be professional, and to understand that we are not the only people on this planet that are going through this.

“Of course it's a difficult situation that we have to handle right now and it's never easy. In terms of our love and respect for each other, that hasn't changed at all.

“Just because you decide to separate, I don't think you all of the sudden stop loving each other. I don't think you all of the sudden stop becoming friends.”

Firstly, it’s all of A sudden. Secondly, why the hell are these two splitting up if they feel this way about each other?



Saying that, Heidi may not feel the same way – according to rumours she decided to end the marriage because Seal had an 'inability to control his temper', which was starting to affect the children. TMZ claimed that she was also sick of his ‘hard partying’.

Seal and Heidi released a joint statement yesterday morning, which said the pair had simply grown apart. It read: “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.”
