Seal Discusses Split with Heidi Klum on Ellen “I Think We Were Shocked"

Seal recently appeared on Ellen where he talks about his recently separeation from spouse Heidi Klum:
 “I think we were shocked. You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say ‘I do’ and you say ’til death do us part.’ Those vows hold value. They are not just words… You try and you work through it and the thing that you quickly realize when you are married and you become a parent you do the best that you can.”


“....It makes you actually appreciate your parents a lot more. The thing that I’m most proud about this great woman who married (and I really do mean that from the bottom of my heart), is that together she has given me four incredible gifts…four beautiful children [Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou]. She still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world. I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity.

We still very much love each other. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out and out lie (and I don’t mind telling you that). I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can.”

Seal's appearance on Ellen will air later this week.
