Heidi Klum and Seal married in 2005: So the love of the dream couple failed

When Heidi Klum (51) and Seal (62) said yes on May 10, 2005 in a small beach ceremony in Mexico, nobody would have thought that this great love would be over only seven years later. Because from the start, the model and the singer were considered an absolute dream couple of the celebrity. In interviews in the highest tones, she raved about him, he lovingly slipped into the role of the replacement father for her daughter Leni (21).

When Klum met the “Kiss from a rose” star, she was pregnant from her short-term Liaison Flavio Briatore (75). Apparently no problem for Seal. He caught Leni like his daughter, adopted her in 2009. The wedding was carried out around a year after her birth. Then it went in the family planning: Seal and Heidi Klum welcomed son Henry (19) in September 2005, son Johan (18) in November 2006 and daughter Lou (15) in October 2009.

The model and the singer presented themselves as a happy couple – Klum liked to raven from his “package” – and as a strong family. The many paparazzi pictures that were created on the edge of the field are unforgettable: the proud parents pursued their children’s football games in camping chairs.

He supported Heidi’s passion for disguises, accompanied her to her Halloween parties and threw sweets from the carnival car in Bergisch-Gladbach in the kite costume. The stars celebrated the wedding day with motto parties every year. “It is so special for us, something we love and that our children got used to,” Klum once said in an interview about this tradition.

The two were also on a line professionally. When she hovered over the “Victoria’s Secret” running bridge just a few weeks after Henry’s birth, he sang. At the 2007 show, they shared the “Wedding Day” duet together.

Everything seemed perfect – until the couple surprisingly announced the separation on January 22, 2012 only shortly after a family vacation. “We enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, but after a long superiority we decided to separate,” the two told in a joint statement to “People”. “We had the deepest respect for each other throughout our relationship and continue to love each other, but we lived apart.”

There was a lot of speculation about the reasons, but it is still not known what exactly led to the marriage. The fact that the nerves were blank at least afterwards showed his statements to Paparazzi a few months later. When asked about Heidi Klum’s deep pictures with her bodyguard Martin Kirsten, he reacted angrily: “I would not have expected anything else. However, I would have liked Heidi to show and waited more class until we were separated before we get to bed with an assistant. I think now you all have the answer that you have been waiting for the past seven months.”

In later interviews, he gave further insights into the marriage, which was probably not as perfect as it looked outwards. For example, he claimed to “Us Weekly” that he had never had a teamwork with his ex-wife when it comes to raising children. In a radio interview, he blasphemed about the annual wedding ceremonies: “To be honest, it was the idea of ​​my ex-wife. Over time, it changed to a kind of circus that I didn’t particularly like.”

The otherwise open Heidi Klum is unusually covered by her second failed marriage (she was married to star hairdresser Ric Pipino for five years). “People don’t have to know who did what,” she told “Elle” in March 2012. “I don’t want to talk positively or negatively about the ups and downs that we had. Every couple goes through something.” However, in particular, it is not necessary for their children “that the depths are printed in magazines”.

The “Germany’s Next Top Model” guest did not stay alone for long after the marriage. The relationship with Martin Kirsten followed three years alongside art dealer Vito Schnabel (38). Then the surprise in 2018: Heidi Klum met Tokyo Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz (35). The two married 2019 – and Klum now seems to have finally really found their Mr. Right. To date, the couple is very fell -loved. “We have the same roots, the same upbringing, the same understanding. Maybe he is the first man to understand what I say,” she confessed to Ellen Degeneres’s talk show (67).

Seal, on the other hand, keeps his private life out of the public. In 2021 he was seen together for the first time together with his former assistant Laura Strayer. In early 2024, he surprisingly visited a film premiere in Los Angeles with all four children – he also raves about his offspring in interviews every now and then.
