After his ex-wife Heidi Klum claimed that he only sees their kids at ‘spordadic’ times, Seal is firing back with claims that she has a ‘secret agenda.’
Klum, 47, was married to Seal (real name Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel), 57, from 2005 to 2014 and they share four kids together, Helene, 16, Henry, 14, Johan, 13, and Lou, 10, and now Seal claims Klum wants to take their kids to her native Germany to see their grandparents.
The claims come from court documents filed by Seal on August 19, which were obtained by Hollywood Life, as a response to Klum’s ‘ex parte’ order seeking permission to take her children to Germany from October to December 2020, while she is filming Germany’s Next Top Model.
‘I believe Heidi has a hidden agenda to move the children to Germany,’ the singer says in the court documents.
‘Notwithstanding Heidi’s request, if granted, could in effect move the children away from me and their home here in Los Angeles to Germany for what could be an indefinite period of time given the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on this country’s and Germany’s travel restrictions which could change at any time and prevent the children from leaving Germany or entering the United States,’ he added.
He added that if Klum would move his kids to Germany, it will, ‘impact the health, safety and welfare’ of his kids.
I should be entitled to my due process rights to have the appropriate time to prepare an opposition to Heidi’s request, which, if granted, could have a permanent impact on the children’s relationship with me,’ he added.
He added that he has even moved to Topanga to be ‘closer’ to Heidi and the kids because she lived in the area.
‘I have always shared a close bond with our children. I try to spend as much time as possible when I am not working (including touring prior to the pandemic),’ he said.
He also claimed that if Klum was allowed to take her children to Germany, she could just decide never to return to America.
‘Heidi is a celebrity and a German national and I am concerned that if she is allowed to take the children to Germany, she may unilaterally decide not to return them to the United States,’ Seal said.
Klum mentioned in her ex parte that, ‘If Henry would like this… he would be able to visit the children while they are in Germany if he wishes to do so.’
She also said in her documents that she is willing to amend the custody agreement so the kids can see their father over Christmas
