Heidi Klum breaks her silence about split from husband Seal: 'I want to go forward' Seal has gone on CNN and other channels to talk about his breakup with the model 
 
 Newly-single supermodel Heidi Klum is breaking her silence on her split from Seal, saying her private life is nobody’s business and suggesting he keep his trap shut, too. 
 
 “He’s going to be 50 next year,” she said of Seal, whose name is tattooed on her arm. “He’s a grown man. I can’t tell him what to do and what not to do. It’s hard.”

 She sounded peeved about Seal going on CNN and other TV shows to tell the world about how they broke the news of their break up to their four young children. 
 
 “I feel like already so many things being said about us — about him, about me,” the 38-year-old former Victoria’s Secret model told Elle magazine in an April cover story in which she models a $795 Marc Jacobs skirt and a Bulgari diamond ring. 
 
 The “Project Runway” creator says she feels she’s been in the “eye of a tornado” since she and Seal separated in January. 
 
 "It's emotions inside of your body that are a tornado. And then the outside world doing all this craziness -- with you wanting it or not wanting it -- is another tornado," she said. "But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curveball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn't expect." 
 
 Klum acknowledged there were problems in her marriage, however choose to keep the details private. 
 
 "To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides," she said. "But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business -- I want to go forward." 
 
 “I’m not going to comment. Otherwise it makes you angry,” she said. 
 
 “People don’t need to know who did what. But I’m a lioness. I have four cubs. I’m a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. I don’t want to talk about them, or him, or me.” ||||| Heidi Klum She Couldn't Take Seal's Temper Anymore

 "We are very sad," German cosmetics executive Gunther told Us via phone early Monday. He added that he needed to touch base with his newly single daughter about the shocking news. 
 
 Heidi and the "Kiss from a Rose" singer, 48, share three biological children -- Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2, plus Klum's 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Leni, whom Seal adopted in 2009.

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," they said in their statement, adding that the split will be an "amicable" process.

 When they first split in January it was hoped that Heidi Klum and Seal’s unexpected divorce would be amicable for the sake of their children, but sadly now the gloves are coming off and things are heating up, the new issue of Star magazine is exclusively reporting. 
 
 While the 49-year-old singer was reluctant to take his wedding ring off at first, telling talk show titan Ellen DeGeneres: “When you say, ‘Till death do us part,’ those vows hold value,” it now appears to be war between the parents of four. 
 
 Seal has since countered the super model’s request for primary physical custody by demanding that they both get equal time with the kids, and has also contested Heidi’s claim that there weren’t any joint assets that needed to be divvied up, Star reveals. Seal is worth $15 million, Heidi $70 million — so a lot is at stake.

 Both those legal battles are still being fought and now a third disagreement is thrown into the mix after Seal used intimate shots of the children — Leni, 8; Henry, 6; Johan, 5; and Lou, 2 – in an ad campaign for a Leica digital camera without Klum’s permission. 
 
 “Heidi felt that the children had gone through enough since their parents split, and she didn’t want their private moments out there for the world to see,” said an insider. “But Seal maintained he had every right to use his personal photos — and, moreover, that it was a done deal and out of his hands.” 
 
 The German model hired a lawyer to demand that Leica retract the video and within days it was taken down.

 “Heidi isn’t trying to cause trouble,” revealed the friend, explaining that Heidi has always tried hard to keep her children out of the spotlight. “She’s just trying to protect her brood. Since she filed for divorce from Seal, he’s been out with more than one young woman, whereas Heidi hasn’t dated at all.” 
 
 Despite a number of reports that the reality host has been dating Germany’s Next Top Model executive Thomas Hayo, she has denied they are anything but coworkers.

 “She’s not interested in beginning another relationship right now. Her primary goal is getting the kids through the divorce and making sure they are healthy and happy,” the source said. 
 
 For the full story, the new issue of Star magazine is on newsstands on Thursday.

– The rumors are true: Despite some sources insisting Heidi Klum and Seal were not really splitting up, the couple issued a statement last night confirming the news. "While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal, and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate," reads the statement obtained by E!. But why? TMZ reports that it all comes down to Seal's temper. "It was a long time in coming," says a source, who adds that Seal can't control his anger and Klum didn't want to deal with it anymore. Another insider tells People that distance also made their relationship more difficult, and a friend tells Us that lately, "They're either madly in love or having crazy fights." Yet another tells New York Daily News that Klum is "super-friendly" and "warm," while "Seal is not." (Klum's father will probably be getting a talking-to: He also spoke to Us, revealing that the family is "very sad" about the split.)
