Heidi Klum And Seal Are Officially Divorced; ‘Project Runway’ Host Now Dating 27-Year-Old Art Dealer

Heidi Klum and Seal ended their seven-year marriage over two years ago, but it was only until Tuesday that it has been finalized. The model/TV personality was the one who filed the divorce in April of 2012, after announcing that they have broken up in January that very same year.

The reason cited for their divorce was irreconcilable differences. They couple released a joint statement that said, "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," the statement continued. "This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition."

True enough, Heidi Klum and Seal did remain seemingly amicable despite their separation and attended certain events for their children together.

The 51-year-old "Kiss from a Rose" singer and the German supermodel have three children together, 9-year-old Henry, 8-year-old Johan, and 5-year-old Lou, while Klum also has a 10-year-old daughter, Leni, from her former relationship. However, Seal adopted Leni back in 2009.

The divorce judgment did not specify how the former couple will be splitting the custody of the children. It also did not mention how they will be dividing their assets.

Since their separation, the 41-year-old Heidi Klum also dated her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten, but ended that relationship as well in January this year after spending two years together.

She was spotted in April cozying up with her present boyfriend, the 27-year-old Vito Schnabel, in Mexico.

She was interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" about her new boyfriend. The talk show host asked her, "Now, is that your boyfriend? Is that Vito - is that his name?" To which, the "Project Runway" host answered, "That is him."

DeGeneres then stated, "That's fantastic. So, you're madly in love? And he is an art dealer, right?" Heidi Klum giggled quite nervously and said, "He is."
