After being publicly bashed by her ex-husband, Seal, Heidi Klum has finally broken her silence.

"I cherish all of the great memories Seal and I created together over the years,” Heidi tells In Touch in a statement. “Our separation was based on issues between the two of us. Seal has moved on and so have I. My priority has and continues to be protecting and providing for our children."
 
Over the weekend Seal, 49, hinted that Heidi, 39, slept with her bodyguard while they were still together but later clarified that his quotes were taken out of context.
 
"Seal would like to clarify that he was not implying his wife was cheating on him while they were together," a rep for Seal said in a statement. "But rather he was pointing out that they are separated and the divorce is not final so they are legally still married." 
 
In January, when the couple first announced their divorce, both Heidi and Seal called their split “amicable,” adding that they have the “deepest respect for one another and continue to love each other very much.”
 
It’s shocking how much can change in just eight months!
