Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum has broken her silence since she and Seal announced their separation last week.

The supermodel, 38, who hadn't Tweeted since Jan. 15, acknowledged those who have helped her so far through the split from her husband, 48, of nearly seven years.

"Hi everyone, I want to thank u for all your support & kind words," Klum Tweeted on Tuesday. "[It] really means so much. Thanks again...to the best fans in the world! xoHeidi"

Seal, meanwhile, has given several interviews, and has described how he and Klum broke the news of their split to their children. The singer also recently said on CNN he believed a reconciliation "may happen."

Klum and Seal decided to part ways "after much soul-searching," they told WHO in a statement. "We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart."
