After 7 years of marriage Heidi and Seal announced their divorce this past weekend.

The couple’s rep released this 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.

“This is an amicable process and protecting the wellbeing 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.”

Tabloids are now claiming that Heidi filed for divorce because of her husband’s volatile temper. Heidi and Seal got married in Mexico right after they announced she was pregnant with their first child together, Henry.
