German-American supermodel Heidi Klum has broken her silence at last. In an interview with Elle magazine, she spoke about her failed marriage with singer Seal.

"I feel like I'm in the eye of the tornado. It's emotions inside of your body that are a tornado. And then the outside world doing all this craziness -- with you wanting it or not wanting it -- is another tornado." she said.

"But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curve-ball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn't expect."

The supermodel and singer announced their split in January after seven years of marriage and she admitted that it wasn't easy.

"I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. I don't want to talk about them, or him, or me," she told to the magazine.

She added, ''To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides."

Heidi wants to deal her things in the most secretive manner, ''But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business - I want to go forward."
