It looks like supermodel Heidi Klum is back on the market. People confirmed that Klum and her bodyguard boyfriend, Martin Kirsten separated a few weeks ago, after dating for a year and half. The ex lovebirds started dating a few months after Klum, 40, filed for divorce from ex husband Seal whom she was married to for several years. A source close to Klum states that Martin, 41, was there for Klum during the difficult time after her divorce. The ex lovers may have gone their separate ways, but Klum is still grateful for the time spent with Martin and all his support. The two will reportedly remain friends, but they will be discontinuing their professional relationship.

The start of a new year gives everyone a renewed sense of hope, and with this thought in mind, I decided to consider three celebrity couples who are happy in love.
Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long: These lovebirds have become a paparazzi favorite lately. In many photos, the couple appears surprised at their picture being taken. You’ll see their eyebrows and eyes raised and their mouths just a bit open. Note that surprise is one of the seven micro-expressions that people make to indicate an emotion.
With the climbing divorce rate reaching over 50 percent, many Americans fear the catastrophic events of a messy split. However, celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser has some words of wisdom to help divorcees in her new book, It Doesn’t Have to Be That Way: How to Divorce Without Destroying Your Family or Bankrupting Yourself. The author’s southern California location opens her up to a world of A-list celebrity clients, including Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, and Heidi Klum. Even though the private lives of these stars are under constant media scrutiny and exposure, Wasser explains that divorce disputes have the potential to be fairly painless, particularly in the familial and financial aspects of a settlement. She also spends quite a lot of time working with pro bono cases for the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law, calling divorce a “great equalizer” because of the emotional distress couples experience is the same across the board.
In an exclusive interview with CupidsPulse.com, Wasser talks about the evolving world of divorce and provides some tips to guide you through a separation as seamlessly as possible.

Dating as a single mom is never easy, especially if you’re trying to balance a busy career with raising your children. Even for celebrities, who have luxuries that not all single moms can afford, it’s still a tricky thing to manage. The famous faces below have figured out a few ways to find love while still playing the most important role of their lives:

Wendy Williams speaks her mind about Heidi Klum’s new relationship and it is not nice. Last Tuesday on The Wendy Williams Show, Williams criticized the Victoria’s Secret model, insinuating that Klum and bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten began their relationship while Klum was still married to Seal. She even went as far as implying that intimate moments may have taken place under Seal’s nose while Kirsten worked for the family the past four years. “Seal, you know what that means — and not just when you were out of town.” The TV host ended with giving Seal advice on revenge. “I don’t how much you’re worth, but she’s worth more. You need half. You need yourself a new girlfriend; someone young, hot and with a long future in modeling, and really fertile.”

The relationship between now separated Heidi Klum and Seal is complicated at best, after things got heated last week. After some rude comments Seal made about Heidi, including that she should “at least wait until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help,” the supermodel is speaking out about where things stand between the former couple. According toUsMagazine.com, Klum told Katie Couric, “I don’t know if we’re the greatest friends right now, especially because of the things that he said.” She went on to say that they were in an “okay” place. After 7 years of marriage, hopefully the two will be able to work things out, especially for the sake of their 4 children, Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou.

Everyone wants to have a great long-term relationship that keeps on getting better, but it simply won’t happen without some effort on the part of both partners.

When it comes to celebrity breakups, many of us spend plenty of time analyzing their trials and tribulations. We identify on many levels with our favorite Hollywood couples by getting inspired by their romances and mourning their losses. In fact, we even tend to fear that the same types of failures they experience can happen within our relationships as well.
Whether you’re a celebrity or not, there are numerous ingredients which go into determining whether a connection exists between two people. Love, attraction and pheromones are key components, but there are many others that dictate the choices we make as well, and they happen from the very beginning of our lives. It’s important to remember that genetic/biological, social/cultural, and psychological issues determined your partner selection, romance and grieving period. In other words, they’re part of your personal “love map.” Through interpreting your love map, you will understand how important events from your past shaped your individual personality development and self-esteem, which directly correlates to your relationship behavior.
Here are two celebrity examples where creating a love map would be invaluable:

In an effort to stand strong after her very public split with Seal, Heidi Klum isn’t speaking publicly about the details of what lead to their unexpected divorce for the sake of her children. “I’m a lioness. I have four cubs. I’m a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. I don’t want to talk about them, or him, or me,” said Klum. However, she did reveal that things between her and the singer weren’t always as perfect as they seemed. According to People, the model is spending time at home with her children and avoiding reading about her divorce in the news.
