This morning Heidi Klum and Seal confirmed that they are separating. The couple married on May 10, 2005 and have 4 children together (Seal adopted Heidi's daughter from a prior relationship shortly after the wedding and the couple had 3 children during their almost seven years of marriage). They released the following statement to People earlier today:
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate.
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. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.
We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."
Heidi and Seal were truly one of Hollywood's most fashionable couples. Here's a look back at 25 of Heidi Klum and Seal's most memorable red carpet moments.

Burberry is officially the most popular luxury label on Facebook attracting over ten million fans on the popular global social network. As of this afternoon the British luxury brand had recieved 10,201,346 likes!
Chief creative officer Christopher Bailey posted a special video message of appreciation earlier this week on Burberry's official Facebook page thanking fans for their support.
The only apparel brand to trump Burberry is Victoria's Secret, with 16,406,625 Facebook fans. Following Burberry with Facebook "likes" is H&M, Dior, Gucci, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
Burberry's Twitter account is also number one with 702,059 followers.
Mila Kunis has been named the new face of Christian Dior and appears in an upcoming set of spring/summer ads for the French fashion house.
Mila not only made a fashionable impact on last year's red carpet winning the approval of critics and fashion watchers around the globe, she proved to be one of the most bankable magazine cover stars of 2011. Still. It's a major coup for a girl who describes herself as a "jeans and T-shirt" type of gal.
"I'm honestly just learning about fashion. In my daily life, I don't wear the most feminine pieces. But I love to feel feminine when I'm on the red carpet. I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house. I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful." - Mila Kunis
First for Mila? She smolders in the upcoming spring ad campaign for the label's latest Miss Dior handbags. The ads were shot by photographer Mikael Jansson and feature the 28-year-old actress dressed in black.
Delphine Arnault, deputy general manager at Dior, told WWD: "Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress; she embodies the true modern woman. Her performance in Black Swan was remarkable. She is very gifted. We are looking forward to a long relationship with her."
Mila follows in the footsteps of her Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman (who starred in last year's successful ad campaign for the Miss Dior Cherie fragrance), Marion Cotillard (who has fronted ads for the Lady Dior bag since 2008, and is slated to continue her association with the label) and Charlize Theron (an ambassador for Christian Dior perfumes).
What do you think of Mila's first Miss Dior handbag ad campaign?

Gianni Versace · 1994
"... The truth is not a single screen performance is responsible for branding Elizabeth Hurley into our collective memory. And yet, she is emblazoned there, thanks to her having stepped out one night in the sartorial equivalent of the shot heard 'round the world. All it took was one dress ―"That Dress"― as it was tagged by the media the morning after Hurley's appearance at the world premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in London. Upending her usual tabloid-captioned capacity as Hugh Grant's girlfriend, Hurley stepped out of a limo and into the paparazzi's viewfinders. ..."
Paris-born actress Marion Cotillard stars in Dior's new short film LAdy Dior. The comedic short film was directed by John Cameron Mitchell and features Marion (with her iconic Lady Dior Bag) as an unhappy Hollywood starlet named Margaux.
Watch as Margaux is forced onto a torturous photoshoot where she's styled as the classic Lady Dior and then throws a tantrum.
The short flick was inspired by a short Richard Avedon film made in 1973 starring the incredible Lauren Hutton.
