We held out hope for Heidi Klum and Seal when they announced their separation two months ago, but now that Heidi has officially filed for divorce, we've got to admit that, sadly, another Hollywood couple we love has bit the dust.

After seven years of what appeared to be a loving marriage, Heidi Klum has filed for divorce from Seal following a three month separation. The couple issued a joint statement: "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."
Heidi Klum hasn't utter a peep other than a small tweet on January 31 regarding the end of her seven-year marriage to Seal. It seems she's uncomfortable telling anyone about it, but she's finally opening up a little. In the latest issue of Elle, the 38-year-old shares her emotions about the whole break.
Heidi Klum and Seal, it's time you reached out for some guidance! We recently surveyed our organization of 1,100 psychotherapists, counselors, coaches and relationship professionals—you may know them as YourTango Experts—to get their input on such topics as why couples fight and how therapy affects relationships.
We had hope for Heidi Klum and Seal when we heard the shocking news about their separation. We thought there would be a chance for reconciliation, especially when Seal kept his ring on with "no intention of taking it off anytime soon." Multiple sources claimed the two would probably work things out.

Neil Sedaka had it right. Breaking up IS hard to do. But WHY is it so hard? Because we are sentimental beings, desiring of connection. Because we’ve been told that ‘partnering’ is the path to happiness. Because it just feels good to have your best pal around and because there is no rule book or magic pill for getting rid of the longing. When going through a break up, we are in fact, experiencing a death. While it may just be emotional, it carries all of the hallmarks of a physical passing.
As a real life Cupid, I have been a bit depressed about all of these Hollywood couples splitting lately. Katie Perry and Russell Brand filed for divorce, Jessica Lange and Sam Sheppard separate after 30 years, Chaz Bono and his fiance call it quits, there are rumors that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are heading for splitsville after more than a decade and two kids together, Demi and Ashton are going through a rough divorce and Sinead O'Connor ends her 4th marriage after 18 days, beating Kim Kardashian's 72 day marriage. Most recently in the media, there are reports that Heidi Klum and Seal have separated.
On Saturday, TMZ revealed the explosive news that Heidi Klum is getting ready to file divorce papers to end her almost 7-year marriage to Seal. The gossip site's source claims the 38-year-old supermodel will cite "irreconcilable differences" with the 48-year-old singer when she files divorce papers in L.A. Superior Court sometime this week.
Whatever happened to dinner and a movie? You have to give it to the cupids who come up with Bachelor Brad’s dates -- they're hard to beat. On tonight’s show, Brad and his date Ashley S., (the nanny from NYC who scored the first impression rose), hit up Capitol Records in Hollywood to record a rendition of the hit Seal ballad, "Kiss From A Rose." It just happens to be Ashley’s favorite song, one that her now deceased father used to sing to her. Hmm…coincidence? Doubtful. Why do you think those applications to appear on the show are so long? To find tearjerking information in hopes of causing breakdowns among the already fragile women in the house, naturally! I bet they know which hands she wipes with, too.
British singer-songwriter Seal can't seem to make sense of what's happened between his close friend Tiger Woords and new ex-wife Elin Nordegren. But, the crooner isn't ungrateful about his own life, since he's the first one reminding the world just how lucky he is during a recent interview with the UK's Mirror. Frankly, we don't blame him: between a successful music career, beautiful children and married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, Heidi Klum, we're surprised he's not just a touch more boastful. During his interview, Seal, who left home at the age of 15, spilled the beans on quite a bit, including how he met Klum, how happy he is with her and their family today and even his player past.
Here's a round-up of five celebrities turned relationship experts. We have Heidi Klum and Seal's new show on Lifetime, Jennifer Love Hewitt's self-help book, Ice-T's wife CoCo's blog, Jerry Seinfeld on The Marriage Ref and Teri Hatcher's website and book.
