Heidi Klum, who earlier this year split suddenly from singer Seal after eight years together, has confirmed that her relationship with her longtime bodyguard has blossomed into something more.

Rumors about the romance started swirling a couple of weeks ago, which led an intemperate Seal to remark that Klum should have waited until they finalized the divorce to fornicate with the help, although he later clarified his remark, saying he didnt meant to say Klum cheated on him during their marriage.

Klum confirmed the relationship with South African Martin Kirsten to Katie Couric on Courics new talk show. Hes cared for our entire family, mostly for our four children, helped us tremendously, she says. I trust him with my childrens life. Hes a great man and we just got to know each other from a completely different side.

She says its very hard for her to date someone while shes in the public eye. Its almost like you cant have a real proper chance in a way.
