Seal and Heidi broke up in 2012 and divorced in 2014. She went on to marry Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, but she and Seal continue to co-parent.
“I mean, it’s never easy,” she told Today. “Obviously when you get married and you have children, you hope for that to last forever. Unfortunately, that was not the case.”
She added, “You try to do your best to keep your children as happy as possible and keep them as grounded and loved as possible. But other than that, this is life.”
