Seal Opens Up About Split From Heidi Klum On The Ellen Show

Seal made his first television appearance since the shocking news of the separation from his wife of 7 years Heidi Klum, on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.  He was previously scheduled to appear, as his CD comes out today and ironically sang, ‘Let’s Stay Together’ on the show.

When Ellen says how shocked the world was of the news of the split Seal says:

“I think we were shocked. You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say ‘I do’ and you say ’till death do us part.’ Those vows hold value. They are not just words.  These things happen.  You just grow apart after awhile. You try and you work through it and the thing that you quickly realize when you are married and you become a parent you do the best that you can. It makes you actually appreciate your parents a lot more.  The thing that I’m most proud about this great woman who married (and I really do mean that from the bottom of my heart), is that together she has given me four incredible gifts … four beautiful children. She is still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world. I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity. We still very much love each other.  It’s not a question of we were never to follow suit of some break-up or separations that you hear about, especially in our industry. It’s a shame. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out-and-out lie (and I don’t mind telling you that). I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount of respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can. And, of course, when you have four children, you hope and pray that the rest of the world will respect that we have four children and that their little hearts are at stake too.”

Ellen mentioned that he was still wearing his wedding ring and he replied:

“Yes, I am still wearing my ring. I think it’s just pretty much a token of how I feel about this woman. We have eight years. Eight wonderful years together.  Just because we have decided to separate doesn’t necessarily mean you take off your ring and you’re no longer connected to that person. We will be connected in many ways till the rest of our lives. … Will we wear the ring for the rest of our lives? Who knows? But right now it feels really comfortable on my hand so I have no intentions of taking it off anytime soon.”

Sounds like he really truly still loves her.  Came off very sincere and very classy.
