Heidi Klum's ex-husband, Seal, opened up in a new interview to comment on his oldest daughter Leni and his relationship with his former wife.
The Kiss from a Rose hitmaker sat down with E! News and was asked about Leni following in her mom's footsteps in the modeling world - a matter he previously had an issue with.
His lengthy and surprising response can be seen in the intriguing video below. Since their divorce in 2014, neither party has spoken much about their breakup but comments they did make made it clear that things were not rosy between them.

Seal hinted at problems when he spoke to US Weekly in 2021 about co-parenting their four children: "It can be challenging. It requires teamwork," he said. "If you are a team, if both parents are a team, then it is really easy and that's not a real challenge at all."
He continued: "But you have to be a team. And if you're not a team, then it can all fall to pieces." Seal then shocked when he admitted: "I never had that teamwork [with Heidi]. We never had teamwork."
