Pop star Seal and supermodel Heidi Klum have decided to split, the two said in statements released by their publicists.

"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate," the statements said. "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."

Seal and Klum have four children together -- Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou.

The child in the picture is Heidi Klum’s daughter from her earlier marriage, and is not biologically related to Seal.

Yeah, that's what she told Seal when the kid was born

Here are Klum's kids with Seal:

She was already divorced and dating when she got pregnant for the first one.

Heidi Klum, Seal, and their daughter

That's Heidi's daughter who Seal adopted.

Don’t know what she saw in him. He is one ugly dude IMO.

[struggle]

Too bad their relationship got a lil’ crazy.

Ah, then it’s an old picture.

That was my thought.
There are great advantages to not owning a TV.

My thought too. Heck I thought Seal was a girl. Oh well. I am not sure my children know who they are.

I don’t know about Heidi Klum, but I’ve heard the name.

Klum is a former uber-model and now a host on Project Runway (I am only aware of the second fact because my teen daughters watched the show. Honest!)

[Rummyfan]

I have no clue who “Seal” is? Did his mom give birth at Sea World and name him after the first thing she saw?

He has brothers named Orca and Dolphin!

She is wacky crazy; makes Algore look sane.

Breaking up with Seal to hang out with Polar Bears I see.

Punchline of old joke:

“Why do you ask, Two Dogs Humping?”

If there were but one genetic loci where skin color was determined then one might speak of the allele (or variation)for dark skin being “dominant” to a “recessive” allele for light skin - but it is more complex than that.

Let us assume there are 10 genetic loci that largely determine skin color and they are either “off” (light skin) or “on” (dark skin)- then the blackest person you ever saw has around 18 out of 20 “on” (each loci has two copies) and the whitest non albino white person you ever saw has maybe 4 out of 20 “on”.

If these two people had a child they would have an average of about 11 out of 20 “on” and would be more brown than black or white.

Also just by random assortment two people with only 4 out of 20 loci “on” could have a child with 8/20 or as few as 1/20 - depending upon which “on” loci they shared in common.

That explains why children from the same parents can often have very different skin color.

This breakup does not surprise me at all. In fact, a couple like this one, which is always in the media talking about “how great” their marriage is, and renewing their wedding vows annually, is doomed for failure. Any couple that tells me that they don’t argue or fight in their relationship is living on another planet.
