It saddens me to type and therefore admit that Seal and Heidi Klum (above) are parting ways, putting an end to their 8 year relationship. WAAA!
The singer and model released a joint statement on Monday to confirm the split, saying they had grown apart. After being Hollywood's golden couple for the last 8 years, I wonder, what is the hope for the rest of us?!
The couple met back in 2004 and the fact Heidi was pregnant with businessman Flavio Briatore's child didn't stop the sparks flying as Seal proposed to the supermodel in December that same year.
In May 2006 the oh-so-cute couple started an even cuter tradition of renewing their wedding vows every year. From trailer park ceremonies, fancy dress to Indian saree's, the pair made a new declaration of love to each other every year on their anniversary, cementing them as the ultimate celeb couple....
SO WHERE DID IT ALL GO BLOODY WRONG?!

| The couple still looked close as ever on holiday in December |
It's rumoured that Seal began to party a tad more than usual, especially when the family (including their four children) holidayed in Ibiza last summer. A source reported to the Daily Mirror;
"Seal hit it hard, was out at clubs and with his friends a lot and Heidi was left with their kids trying to enjoy herself. The cracks were appearing and everybody was talking during that trip. He seemed off the rails.
They've spent a lot of time apart too on work assignments and that hasn't helped matters. Then when Seal came back to the UK to do promotional work for his next album, he seemed sleepy and not with it on shows like Loose Women, when he was very late for his appearance.'
He added fuel to the fire last Friday when the Kiss From A Rose singer updated his Twitter to simply read 'The End', only for their statement to be released days later. appearances on Ellen DeGeneres' and Piers Morgan's shows were soon to follow where Heidi's ex had only good things to say about his marriage.
Speaking to comedienne Ellen he explained
'The thing that I’m most proud about this great woman who I 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.
'She still, in my opinion, is the most wonderful woman in the world. 'We still very much love each other.'
Aww. After the demise of this relationship all I can say is....David and Victoria-it rests in your hands!!
Heidi and Seal's full official statement (tear!)
'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.'
