Heidi Klum is living in a 'tornado' since split

Heidi Klum feels like she's in the middle of a "tornado" following the breakdown of her marriage to Seal.

The supermodel and singer announced their split in January after seven years of marriage and the Heidi admits it's been very tough to deal with.

Heidi - who raises four children with Seal - 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 curveball 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."

Since their break-up, Seal, 49, has spoken openly about their failed relationship but Heidi, 38, wants to remain as dignified as possible about it.

She told America's Elle magazine: "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.

"He's a grown man. I can't tell him what to do and what not to do. It's hard."
