Kim Kardashian Deny Marriage Was Fake; Heidi Klum & Seal Split Details

Kim Kardashian was a walking beauty when she joined “Live” with Kelly Ripa on Monday morning as her co-host.

It didn’t take long for the Kelly to put the niceties aside and plunge right into Kim and her family. The Kardashian brand has been under fire since her marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries ended in an abrupt 72 days. Speculation of duping the media for ratings and money grew fiercely rapid and ugly.

“I really didn’t think following my heart would create this much backlash,” Kim stated.

Kim recently was accused of faking scenes (including her marriage proposal) on “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” so that the show’s storylines could align with statements being released to the public. Kim failed to address said issue, she went on to say, “I definitely tried everything I felt like I could … I want babies. I want forever love,” she said. “I just felt like, you know, if I feel in my heart that this isn’t right, then why wait years to have the same result?”

While her ex-husband has endured his own bout of backlash, he has done little to defend the sanctity of their vows, furthering the fraud nods. The unraveling of the duo’s relationship is now unfolding on ‘Kourtney and Kim Take New York’, but seems as if the fans and media aren’t buying the tears and blows ups supposedly fueled by the marriage woes – squarely siding with Kris that the whole show and the marriage was a fraud.

“But if you really think about it, if this was a business decision and I really made all that money that everyone was claiming that we made off this wedding, and if the wedding was fake and just for TV —I’m a smart businesswoman, I would’ve stayed married longer.”

More Details Emerge On The Separation Of Heidi Klum And Seal

Heidi Klum and Seal confirm their separation citing growing apart as the reason, but what caused the gap?

“We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition,” their joint statement reads.

Many were holding out hope for the couple when the world caught wind this past weekend of a possible divorce for the seemingly happy couple who renewed their wedding vows each of the seven years they made it work. After all, celebrity breakups are wreaking havoc as of late , but Heidi and Seal appeared solid.

Furthermore, nothing negative was ever leaked to the tabloids about the supermodel and singer’s relationship. And when the two were in the headlines it was fluff and positive:   from Seal building an igloo just to propose to Heidi to adopting Heidi’s daughter Leni from a previous relationship to the birth of their three children to their corky annual Halloween parties—but nothing hinting towards divorce. Well, not until it was actually over.   Heidi was seen at the Golden Globes alone (awards shows without the significant other always raises eyebrows) on January 15 and 5 days later Seal tweets, “the End”.

So, what happened?

According to TMZ, there wasn’t a third party. Heidi was tired of Seal’s anger issues and doesn’t like the affect it is having on their children. “It was a long time coming.”

Could money have been an issue?

According to Forbes’ list of the world’s top earning models, Klum earned nearly $20 million in 2011. Besides hosting “Project Runway,” the supermodel also garners executive producer credits (which translates to more money) and inked a 20-episode deal with Lifetime to host a new show called “Seriously Funny Kids.” And she teamed up with Amazon.com and New Balance to launch a clothing line and signature shoe, respectively.

While Seal has sold 20 million albums worldwide and has won four Grammys, his last year earnings weren’t as favorable. However, Seal has secured a contract with the Australian version of “The Voice” to appear as a judge. He also has a new album underway and will start an international tour.

Just this past December, Seal was clear that the two weren’t perfect, “We certainly have differences of opinion. I mean, she’s German and I’m English, so if I said we didn’t have differences of opinion, no one would believe that,” but reassured he loved his wife very much.

Well, as their statement reiterates, love isn’t the issue. So, what is?

We like Seal and Heidi together. Maybe they can work through whatever is causing the gap.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
