Even though Heidi Klum and singer Seal divorced in 2012, it hasn't been a big adjustment to her life. “Obviously things have changed, but they haven’t changed drastically," Heidi told Redbook of life now with her and his four children. "[Seal] was never your typical dad who left for work in the morning with his briefcase and would be home by dinnertime every night. He traveled a lot. The kids knew it was part of his job. I’m a mom and a dad at the same time.”

Thesupermodel admitted that sometimes it can be challenging being a single motherbringing up four children but feels that women have the ability to adapt and tomulti-task the challenges that they face. “Women are capable of juggling a lot ofballs – we do things that guys just cannot do. Men typically can juggle onlyone ball, and even then they’re like, ‘I’m confused. Should I put it inmy right or left hand?’" the 42-year-old said. "A lot of them have a very hard time just tryingto figure out what to do with that one ball. And often they want us tohold that one too!”

The America's Got Talent judge and the "Kiss from a Rose" singer married in May of 2005 when she was 32. And as the German supermodel gets older, she even wishes there were things shecould change about her body, but ultimately she has learned to love the skin sheis in. “Would it be nice if my skin and body stilllooked the way it did when I was 25? Sure," she added. "But the fact is yourbody changes when you have children; you get wrinkles as you get older. I likethat I have laugh lines from smiling too much."
