Heidi Klum opened up about her split from Seal on Katie Couric’s talk show today, calling their divorce “horrible” and “hurtful.”

“It is very hard and especially, you know, being in all of the magazine and gossip pages,” she said. “I mean, that is definitely very hard and hurtful and it’s hard to go through a divorce.”

“I’m someone who believes in a fairy tale and when I said ‘I do,’ I meant forever,” she added. “But I don’t know, you never know what happens. Life changes.”

The supermodel and “Project Runway” host denied, again, Seal’s claims that she “fornicated with the help” by having an affair with her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten, before their divorce was finalized, saying she “never looked at another man” during their seven years of marriage.

“He has a very unique choice of words, I ‘m used to them,” she said. “I don’t know, I don’t love that, it’s obviously not true, I never looked at another man while I was with him.”

“He’s moved on, and so have I,” she added.

Klum said she’s now getting to know Kirsten, who’s worked for her family for four years, in a new light.

“I trust him with my children’s life,” she said. He’s a great man and recently we just got to know each other from a completely different side.”

Klum, 39, filed for divorce from Seal in April. They have four children together, one from Klum’s previous relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.

I have found among my friends that go on and on about how great their marriages are and renewing vows every year are usually the ones in trouble.

It is truly sad when couples going through divorce everything get so nasty.

Seems to me the body guard is a bit convenient isn’t it? And just because you didn’t have sex with someone doesn’t mean you didn’t cheat or emotionally leave the marriage. Spending time with another man who isn’t your husband, flirting, etc. is pretty much the same thing. I don’t know what happened, who knows maybe they spent too much time apart, but if he said it, it was clearly on his mind. Hopefully they can keep it civil for their kids sake.

Sooooo, basically Seal did tell the truth. She is/was having some type of romantic relationship with this bodyguard. I hate when ppl deny something, thn come back and admit it in their own words, like the way it was previously stated was a lie. No, you lied by denying it..DUHHH

Ach du leiber! I love Seal’s choice of words. Hitler was a fornicator too. Really though, if it wasn’t for this current ugliness going on in their lives, would either of them even be newsworthy these days? (…c’mon Katie. I’m sure you can do better than that. [ A little aside here, Ms. Couric. I always felt badly for you when you lost your husband so tragically and suddenly. I still remember, and I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you I'm sorry.] Best wishes for you and your new show. )

Heidi has always been evolving from one relationship to another, this lady has no hearts considering the kids. I guess no man will ever count on her anylonger, not even this desperate body guard who probably hopes to enjoy her money.
You can´t be eying someone´s wife while bodyguarding them, travelling with her around the world but sharing hotel bed-rooms in the name of body guard.

You can’t tell me that they weren’t attracted to each other before the divorce. Maybe they didn’t have sex but you don’t have to have sex to cheat. Those two got together so quickly after Heide & Seal split, you know they had to be eyeing each other and flirting with each other when she was still married. Come on Heidi, you could be a little more inventive, getting together with her kids bodyguard – thats too predictable. I wish Seal the best in the future – he is better off without her.
