Heidi Klum is taking the high road after estranged hubby Seal unleashed a blitzkrieg of headlines with critical comments about her "fornicating" with “the help.”
“I cherish all of the great memories Seal and I created together over the years," Klum said in a statement obtained by
the Daily News. "Our separation was based on issues between the two of us."
The clarification came after Seal told TMZ.com that he didn’t exactly approve of the reported romance between his soon-to-be ex-wife and her bodyguard.
“I would have thought Heidi would have showed a little bit more class and at least waited until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help as it were,” he told TMZ in an ambush video interview. “But I guess you all now have the answer that you’ve been looking for for the past several months.”
He said in a follow-up statement that he didn’t mean to imply Klum caused their break-up by cheating with the security stud.
“Seal would like to clarify that he was not implying his wife was cheating while they were together, but he was merely pointing out that their separation and divorce are not yet final and they are indeed still legally married,” his rep said in a statement.
‘Seal has moved on and so have I’
“Seal has moved on and so have I,” Klum said in her Monday statement, first obtained by People.com. “My priority has and continues to be protecting and providing for our children."
The sparring spouses announced their split last January saying they continued to “love each other very much” but had grown apart.
The breakup seemed amicable when the “Project Runway” stunner filed her formal divorce paperwork in April with the mention of a tidy postnuptial agreement.
Then Seal filed a response claiming “community and quasi-community assets” that needed dividing.
Seal also listed the date of separation as undetermined, though Klum said it was Jan. 19.
The German fashion and modeling mogul is worth an estimated $70 million compared to Seal’s $15 million, TMZ said.
Famous for renewing their vows each year in an over-the-top themed party, the power couple called it quits after seven years of marriage.
Unnamed sources told TMZ that Klum was concerned Seal had rage issues that were affecting the kids.
“To paint this as all Seal and his temper is really, really inaccurate,” a source told the The News in January. “These are two huge personalities. And when you love hard, you fight hard.”
