Still wearing his wedding ring, British musician Seal appeared on CNN and said he couldn't explain his separation from supermodel/TV star Heidi Klum. Breaking the news to their kids was the hardest thing he ever had to do, he added.
"It doesn't really make sense," Seal said in an appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. "The truth of the matter is all I can tell you most sincerely is that it wasn't any one particular thing."
Seal, 48, talked to Morgan, a fellow Brit, on Friday, a few days after he and Klum, married for six years, announced they were separating "with honor and dignity." The couple have four children.
Seal denied the breakup was due to his allegedly hot temper, saying a video on the Internet of him shouting was taken after a swarm of paparazzi in an airport hit one of his kids with a camera. "People want to sensationalize things," Seal said.
Seal couldn't say enough nice things about Klum, "this most fantastic woman." He said he hadn't removed his ring because, "It stands for respect. It stands for loyalty. It stands for incredible memories."
Will they ever reconcile? "Never say never," Seal said. "I'm not going to sit here and BS you and tell you we haven't had problems. Of course we've had problems - otherwise why are we splitting up?"
Nevertheless, he said, "My love for her has not waned one iota."
