   Heidi Klum confirms romance with bodyguard, says she was hurt by Seal’s cheating allegation

Earlier this month, with a simple statement to the paparazzi, singer Seal revealed that the divorce proceedings from Heidi Klum weren’t as smooth as we were initially tempted to believe. Heidi talked about that during her appearance on Katie Couric’s show “Katie.”

Video of that segment of the interview is below.

As we also reported at the time, Seal said Heidi had been “fornicating with the help,” implying she’d been sleeping with her bodyguard even back when she was still married to him.

He later backpedalled on that comment, saying he only meant that she wasn’t divorced from him yet.

Whichever was his intention in saying these things in front of the camera, Heidi was still hurt by them.

“He has a very unique choice of words. I'm used to them. I don't know. I don't love that. Obviously, it's not true. I’ve never looked at another man while I was with him,” Heidi tells Katie.

“And it's hard when you think that he thinks that, you don't know... he was hurt...” she adds, trying to pin his choice of words on his heartbreak that their marriage didn’t work out.

Heidi confirms that she’s dating her bodyguard but stops short from calling it a “relationship.” Nevertheless, she insists their romance (for lack of a better term) is based on trust and honesty.

He's moved on. When we separated he's moved on and so have I. And it's very hard when you start seeing somebody again, you know. All of a sudden. It's hard then when everyone is watching you. It's almost like you can't have a real proper chance in a way,” the model says.

“He's been with our family for the last four years,” Heidi says of the new man in her life. “He’s cared for our entire family, mostly for our four children, helped us tremendously. I trust him with my children’s life.”
