Seal "Shocked" By Heidi Klum Divorce
by Free Britney at .Mere hours after Heidi Klum and Seal confirmed their divorce, interviews between Seal and Ellen DeGeneres (airing today) and PBS' Tavis Smiley (Friday) hit the web.
The topic of his separation was not off the table. Not even close.
About to embark on a new album tour, Seal is more than willing to openly speak about what shocked us - and himself, apparently. "I think we were shocked," he said.
"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," the singer told Ellen.
"They are not just words. These things happen. We pretty much said how we feel and made it clear in the release statement."
"But, for intents and purposes of this show, 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 is 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 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 breakup 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. 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."
Here's Seal on Tavis Smiley's show as well:

I am sorry, and i really don't know what to do and/or what to say, my life was harsh since when i was young, and today is even more harst than the previous one, i loves people more than i am, but there is no real person who trust me, all i have are false friends, neighbors, people and close relatives who only want to ruin my life intentionally.
Ashley you sound really stupid. You say: "First of all, you all talk about black people, well we don't kill our women, for closure." Well then, why DO you kill your women if not for closure? For fun?? Then you say "I.D. channel shows white men all day long, vicious, cowards, stalkers, child molesters, wife beaters, serial killers and crazy as hell also, and in the end they kill someone and then themselves. We may be nappy headed but we live!". So you are saying that white men are bad because, after they kill someone, they kill themselves, because they have a conscious that they did something bad, but black men are better because they have no problem living with themselves after they kill someone? That is the most insane thing I have ever read. You are a true idiot.
You listening to all this Ashley. You Blacks really think you are showing the world but in reality all the Fuck you are doing is getting the shit out of the Street for the Accountable- Responsible- Educated- Desirable- Real Men- White Men! You Motherfuckers are constantly rebuilding your city and your every Fucking Move is based on Hatred for the White Man! This is why you struggle. You can't trust your own kind and you Fucking know it. If any person thinks that a single white woman is just going to blend in to society without a Brand on their Ass is living in a Dream World.
Ann, I totally agree. I, too, know several white women who have children by multiple black men, and none of them are around helping support the children (several of them are in jail, of course). Black men are a problem. White women are blind if they think a few sessions with the BBC will bring them a lifetime of happiness. And to the racist bitch that thinks white men have small dicks, that is definitely not true, I can vouch for that! The difference is these white men are not only good lovers, but good PROVIDERS!
I can agree with what some that is being said. I have a 20 year old cousin that has 2 Multi-Racial kids by 2 Fathers and neither pay child support-1 is in jail -drugs. My cousin is the youngest of 4 daughters. My Aunt & Uncle ( her parents) want nothing to do with her. The other 3 girls are married and live well. On the surface it may look like Racism yet that is not totally true. Aunt & Uncle have worked all their life ( in their 60's) and they look at cousin like she is nothing more than a Ball & Chain that will last forever. She has nothing but needs and the irresponsible nature of so many Black Males have left my cousin in a hopeless situation. Her irresponsible mistake has left her with no one. I could name 10 cases just like this. Young people think that what they see on TV is real but in the Real World life can be unforgiving. People look thru her like she doesn't exist. No man of value will give her the time of day.
