Supermodel Heidi Klum has finally broken her silence on the subject of her split with Seal in the April issue of ELLE magazine.

After seven years of marriage the Project Runway celeb sent shockwaves across the land with the revelation that her seemingly loving union had crumbled.

Heidi said, “I feel like I’m in the eye of the tornado. It’s emotions inside of your body that are a tornado. And then the outside world doing all this craziness — with you wanting it or not wanting it — is another tornado.”

“But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curve ball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn’t expect.”

Despite what we thought was a very successful marriage, we now find out there were issues.

Klum admits, “To the outside world, you don’t really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides. But I don’t really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business — I want to go forward.”

“I feel like already there are so many things being said about us — about him, about me. I’m not going to comment. Otherwise it makes you angry. You can’t always call and say, ‘This is not true, but this part is true.'”

Seal spoke up almost immediately when they went their separate ways. Klum told ELLE, “He’s a grown man. I can’t tell him what to do and what not to do. It’s hard.”

Klum’s main objective to protect her four children, “I’m a lioness. I have four cubs. I’m a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. I don’t want to talk about them, or him, or me.”
