Singer Seal and supermodel-TV host Heidi Klum confirmed reports that their marriage has ended.

The Hollywood power couple released a joint statement Sunday saying they have decided to separate.

“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate,” the couple wrote. “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.”

Seal and Heidi tied the knot in Mexico in 2005. The couple have four children - Henry, Johan, Lou and Leni who is Heide's child from former relationship.
