The news of Seal and Heidi Klum separating surprised and saddened me, but it also furthers my theory that the couples who make the biggest fuss about being happy are usually the unhappiest. Putting on a constant show of Being In Love doesn’t leave much time for the hard work of actually being in love. Methinks those couples doth protest too much, you know?
Still, I was rooting for those two crazy kids. People that attractive deserve each other.

I’ve never gotten the people who think he’s un-attractive. The dude has scars. So what? He’s still rock solid. And she’s … wow. She did a promo for Patch. Very cool.
Scars = sexier than no scars. No question.
They were the couple I wanted so desperately to hate because they were SOOOOOOO good looking, but I just couldn’t because they seemed genuinely sweet.
I feel bad for the children.
Yeah, they’re so young. And the oldest daughter has a different dad than Seal… so now she has TWO half-time fathers?
As far as I know “the other half time father” never even saw his off-spring. Seal adopted the girl, so he is her dad. I don’t know why the media always points out that there was this “real dad” before Seal. Imagine, you adopt a child (maybe from another country) and people keep on telling you that it is not your “real” child as opposed to its siblings (in case you had children before or after the adopted child). It would feel crazy for both the child and the “new” parents.
About the split up: My personal theory is we will see a “never got over him, he is the best ever happened in my life and now we celebrate both the first and the second wedding every year” reunion. He is still wearing the ring because she is a “wonderful woman”? Common, we know the yellow press rules at least as good as you do. This is not the end, it is just a see-through PR coup. (He even wrote a song about it for his new album. How appropriate, the album is out now, exactly when they split up. Just in time, life, thank you.)
You’re right to be suspicious — this situation has Publicity Stunt written all over it. Which makes it even sadder, in my opinion.
As far as the comment about “two half-time fathers,” in no way was I trying to disrespect the sanctity of adoption. My point was that, whether they’re present or not, that girl DOES have two fathers, and if Seal and Heidi officially divorce, NEITHER of those fathers will be living with the girl full-time. I don’t care how politically correct you are — that’s a shitty situation for a 7-year-old.
It is not about political correctness.;-) I am just talking from experience and from what I see daily living on the patchwork planet Berlin. A father who does not participate or not even meet his child is not a father and you are not forced to relate to him at all by some “rules and regulations”, especially because you do have a father (even if he and mom split up to give them a reason for another fake TV-show and a comeback into the charts – for that part you will hopefully inherit enough money to pay the bills of your shrink.)
