Heidi Klum and Seal shocked the world when, in 2012, they announced their decision to get a divorce, because, until that moment, they seemed like one of the most solid couples in showbiz. With a new man in her life, Heidi is now looking to erase certain “traces” of her marriage.

Specifically, she’s having her arm tattoo removed, the one which reads “Seal.”

The three stars next to it, representing their children, are going nowhere.

Considering that she and the singer are now divorced, and she’s been dating her bodyguard for some time, it makes sense not to have her ex’s name inked on her forearm.

People magazine has photos of Heidi out and about, and notes that the tat seems to be fading, which could mean she’s having it lasered off.

A source tells the publication that it feels logical for her to remove Seal’s name from her body.

“Now, Klum, who filed for divorce from Seal, 50, in April 2012 after seven years of marriage, ‘is in the process of getting her tattoo removed,’ a source tells People,” says the mag.

“As evidenced by recent photos showing the lightened ink on Klum's arm, ‘she's been through a few treatments,’ says the source. ‘The stars with her children's initials will stay intact’,” the report adds.

Heidi got the tattoo on her 4th wedding anniversary as a reminder of the special occasion. Fans will remember that the two used to renew their vows each year with a theme party that was often the talk of town.

“It was our fourth wedding, and we wanted to have our names tattooed together. So it's my husband's name and our three children — their initials, in the [three] stars,” the model and television personality said at the time.

No word yet on whether Seal too is having his Heidi tattoo removed.
