Well guys, it’s official. Love is dead. The couple that we all thought would last forever have decided to separate. Model Heidi Klum and singer Seal, who have been together for 7 years and have three children together (as well as a daughter from a previous relationship who Seal adopted several years ago) have released a statement confirming the rumors that began spreading this weekend. Via The Daily Mail:

‘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.
‘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.’

If the world’s most perfect couple, a couple who renewed their vows EVERY year in lavish parties and took the term “PDA” to a new level, can’t last, I think we can officially say that marriage is over. The end. Kaput.
