Heidi Klum [photos] opened up about her split from Seal in a chat with Kate Couric as she called their divorce "hurtful."
"It is very hard and especially, you know, being in all of the magazine and gossip pages," she said. "I mean, that is definitely very hard and hurtful and it's hard to go through a divorce."
"I'm someone who believes in a fairy tale and when I said 'I do,' I meant forever," she added. "But I don't know, you never know what happens. Life changes."
Klum also confirmed she was now dating her bodyguard, Martin Kirsten. However, rejected Seal's accusation of "fornicating with the help," implying she may have been involved with Kirsten while they were married.
"He has a very unique choice of words, I'm used to them," Klum said. "I don't know, I don't love that, it's obviously not true, I never looked at another man while I was with him. He's moved on, and so have I."
"I trust him with my children's life," she said of her bodyguard of four years. "He's a great man. We just got to know each other from a completely different side."
