Heidi Klum has addressed her split from husband Seal for the first time, thanking fans for their support.

The supermodel and the soul singer announced they were splitting last month, after seven years of marriage. Shortly after delivering their shocking news, reports emerged that the couple had a series of blazing rows during a holiday at Christmas. 

Heidi addressed the split personally for the first time this week, writing on her Twitter page: "Hi everyone, I want to thank u for all your support & kind words.Really means so much. Thanks again...to the best fans in the world!"

An interview conducted with InStyle magazine shortly before the split, sees Heidi gush about her soon-to-be ex-husband.

"To me, his beautiful face, great body, amazing heart, voice, his ability to be a loving, caring person and father, what can I say?" Heidi told InStyle magazine.

"He can be mad too and I have a lot of fun with him. He's off the cuff. He's not fixed in his ways. And he knows how to handle me. It's always been really passionate between us."
