Heidi Klum, Seal Divorce: How the Couple Broke the News to Their Kids

Heidi Klum and Seal shocked friends and fans alike with the announcement of their divorce this month. Besides having the seemingly picture-perfect marriage, the model and singer had also spent the past few years growing their brood of four children: Daughter Leni, 7, sons Henry, 6 and Johan, 5, and baby daughter Lou, 2. It's those children who Seal and Heidi are putting first and foremost as the move forward with their split, and in a new interview with Access Hollywood, Seal has revealed how he and Heidi explained the split to their four young kids.

The singer said he and his now-ex-wife spoke to their children in general terms, "just explaining to them that things will be different, you know, without going into too much detail." Just as quickly, the singer added, "But a lot of things won't change."

He insisted that the couple going their separate ways "won't change the amount of time" that they spend with their little ones. "In actual fact, it may even improve the amount of time that we spend with them ... quality time" the 'Soul 2' creator claimed optimistically.

Still, a source told Us Weekly that the celeb couple's gorgeous kids "are upset" by the news, or what they can understand of it. Allegedly, Heidi and Seal's busy schedules put a major stress on their co-parenting efforts, and thus the marriage. "It's hard to make a marriage work when one parent is with the kids most of the time. They always took turns and it led to separate lives."

But above all, the parents have vowed to always put their kids first as they embark on their separate paths. "The main thing is to make sure that they feel that they're loved, make sure that they understand that their parents love each other, make sure that they understand if there are any changes, it is absolutely nothing to do with them," Seal explained.
