Heidi Klum Divorces Seal

Heidi Klum is filing for divorce from Seal in Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences" after the couple's seven years of marriage, four kids and two separate careers that have enjoyed worldwide success.

Reportedly, supermodel Heidi Klum-Samuel will file divorce papers in L.A. County Superior Court to end her marriage to her GRAMMY-winning husband.

The couple has announced their separation:

• "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."

There are too many divorces in California already.  In fact, today's California divorce rate is 75 percent.  Many relationships and families have been split apart.

This particular California couple is world famous for renewing their wedding vows every year on their anniversary in a celebration.

Heidi and Seal married in 2005 because of love --- not for publicity --- so many are calling a Seal and Heidi Klum divorce sad.
