Not a happy holiday for Seal and Heidi Klum
How's this for a Labor Day greeting? "Crazy" singer Seal has accused his ex-wife, Heidi Klum, of cheating with one of her bodyguards.
"I would have thought Heidi would have showed a little more class and at least waited until we separated first," Seal tells www.tmz.com.
In the surprisingly frank (bitter?!?) video clip posted Saturday morning, Seal adds that her alleged affair with Martin Kristen was the reason they split. While Klum hasn't directly addressed Seal's claims, a "close friend" got in touch with TMZ and said her relationship with the bodyguard was "strictly professional" while she was married to Seal.
This so-called friend adds that Klum and the bodyguard have gotten "very close" since Klum has been single but would only say that their relationship status is "undefined."
On Sunday, a rep for Klum told www.usmagazine.com that it's "sad that Seal has to resort to this kind of behavior and spread these untruths about the mother of his children."
The British-born Seal and Klum, the German-born supermodel and "Project Runway" host, announced their separation in January after nearly seven years of marriage. They filed for divorce in April. They have three biological children together, and in 2009, Seal adopted one of Klum's children from a former relationship.
