Seal Ditches Wedding Ring For Yellow Nail Polish

Seal was spotted without his wedding band for the first time on Wednesday since him and estranged wife, Heidi Klum, officially announced their separation late January.

The “Kiss From A Rose” singer had gone on record that he still wore his wedding ring because he was still married to “this incredible woman” while embarking on a media blitz promoting his then newly-released album “Soul 2”. While the crooner further suggested that he couldn’t speak for his wife on the two possibly reneging on divorce, he had plenty to say about not removing his band.

“And you don’t all of a sudden one day to the next – unless you’re those type of people – just say ‘I hate you’ and take off your wedding ring. What this means to me and what it stands for, it stands for respect. It stands for loyalty, it stands for incredible memories and it stands for these four little miracles and Heidi making five that have come into my life over the past eight years.”

So, what gives less than a month later? It’s unclear.

The Grammy Award winner was seen yesterday walking through an Australian airport in all black with matching sunglasses and canary-yellow fingernail polish—but without his sparkler.

On the contrary, his supermodel wife, although mum on their situation, was seen out on Valentine’s Day entering Soho House, a swanky restaurant and bar, still rocking her wedding ring, according to TMZ.

So, are they or aren’t they? A source close to the German beauty insists that Heidi is moving forward with divorce.

We wish Seal and Heidi the best and hopefully the couple can work things out.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
