Heidi Klum

Sept. 13: Seal said Heidi Klum was having a relationship with “the help”. And now the Project Runway mogul admits she is in a relationship with her family’s bodyguard, Martin Kristen. But she wasn’t involved with him when she was married.

Yesterday, Klum said: “I don’t even know if I can even call it that. I don’t know, it just started. So I don’t know. I don’t know where it’s going to go.”

Klum added: “I’ve known him for four years and he’s been with our family for the last four years. He’s cared for, our entire family mostly for our four children, helped us tremendously. I trust him. ... I mean, I trust him with my children’s life. He’s a great man, you know and we just got to know each other from a completely different side.”

As for how things are going with Seal? This is one split that does not sound so amicable. “I don’t know if we’re the greatest friends right now ... especially the things that he said ... you know I just saw him ... we were talking and we’re in an OK place. ... It’s a work in progress.

“You have to take it one day at a time. It’s hard especially when you are in the public eye too. You know you’re always you’re always going to have people looking at you closely at everything you do. And they also don’t always see exactly how it really is.”

She wasn’t pleased with Seal’s cheating accusations, either. “I don’t love that. ... obviously it’s not true. When you know I’ve never looked at another man while I was with him and it’s hard when you think that he thinks that. Or that ... he’s hurt. He’s moved on, you know, and we separated and he’s moved on and so have I.

“And it’s very hard when, when you then start seeing somebody again, for the first time it’s hard then when all of a sudden everyone is watching you. It’s almost like you can’t even have a real, proper chance in a way.”
