Seal is in "an excellent place" right now.

The singer - who is separated from his supermodel wife - revealed that he has moved on from Heidi Klum since announcing their split. "When you live your private life in public, and things aren't necessarily as rosy as people think, you owe it to the public to speak up. There were people who were genuinely upset that what they thought was perfect was no longer," he told USA Today.

The former couple spent nearly seven years together and have four children, however Seal insists he is over the worst of their break up: "I'm in an excellent place right now. In a situation like this, your priority is the children. As long as the children are happy, I'm happy."

The performer was reiterating a point made in the original statement which announced the end of their relationship. "This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children's sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy," it read.
