Well this just about ruins Halloween for the A-list - Heidi Klum and Seal are getting divorced. We know, very sad - although obviously it's ever so slightly LOLsome that one of the reason cited for the split is Seal's love of clubbing. Apparently he 'hit it hard' :(

Following a weekend of rumours, Heidi and Seal have confirmed the break-up, stating they are separating after seven years of marriage.

Talking to People magazine, they announced in a joint statement:

"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate,

"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. 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."

Meanwhile, talking to the Sunday Mirror, a source said:

"They were always the couple everybody strived to be but lately it all started to change. Seal seems to have been partying a lot more often than usual.

"When they had their holiday in Ibiza last summer, Seal hit it hard, was out at clubs and with his friends a lot and Heidi was left with their kids trying to enjoy herself. The cracks were appearing and everybody was talking during that trip. He seemed off the rails.

"They've spent a lot of time apart too on work assignments and that hasn't helped matters.

Auf Wiedersehen :(

Also, Tulisa and Fazer have just split up, despite the fact that the X Factor judge was spotted lying on her N-Dubz bandmate in a bikini whilst drinking a Fanta and reading a Martina Cole novel just weeks ago, which brings us nicely back round to Heidi and Seal's recent 'white trash' themed wedding vow renewal. Jesus, LA's fancy dress shop is going to go out of business.

Here they are in happier times:
