This news officially broke on Friday, but I think it’s still worth a mention: Seal has a last name and Heidi Klum has legally filed to take it.
OK, maybe I shouldn’t deliver the news in the order that it registers in my brain. Let’s try again: Heidi Klum, who has been hitched to the singer known only as “Seal” for over four years has never officially taken his last name. Now, I would assume that the delay in taking her hubby’s name was due to the fact that she didn’t even realize he has one (he does. It’s Samuel.), but Heidi claimed on her paperwork that there was only one reason she was changing her name: “Marriage.”
Perhaps she didn’t want to get all personal on her public court documents, but I’m thinking that her legally taking on his last name has to do with a few things: a renewed commitment to their marriage, a celebration of their newest child, and hell, maybe there’s even something having to do with a joint checking account involved.
Heidi’s rep did not comment on whether or not the model would be taking on “Samuel” as her professional name as well, but I’m guessing she’s going to stick with Klum when it comes down to the Project Runway credits.
you can have a joint checking account with two different last names.
Hey, I’ve been wondering where my banker has been!!” Could you do me a favor and transfer some funds from a joint checking account I have into a personal account that doesn’t include my husbands name, as I’m planning on having him killed and hope to have a great windfall since I’m his beneficiary on his insurance policy and it would be nice to consolidate these funds. Thanks!!!
You’re a knob mate. And misscogito is right.
My husband and I have a joint checking account and we have different last names. Yet the world continues to turn…
we knew his last name was samuel when you guys posted their new baby’s full name.
Bummer!!!! I was so excited just anticapating what the name was going to be and you ruined it for me. Don’t you know we don’t have a thing in our lives that is exciting and sit back and wait, hoping to be surprised when we finally see what Seals last name is. Who the fuck cares, really? Really?
Yay! Another person submitting to patriarchy.
high five lol
Patriarchy? Meh. If you don’t have your husband’s name, you’re just keeping your fathers so whatever. BTW, won’t let me post my name – RVH
I might have my mother’s last name, I might have my father’s and mother’s last names together hyphenated, or I could even have a completely different last name that they created by mixing their two together into a single word.
Right on, Anonymous. People who worry about whether taking your husband’s last name is patriarchy have more serious emotional problems than can be dealth with here. Who wastes their time fretting about such things? A marriage is a legal partnership. Both having the same last name in that partnership is completely normal. Why bother to be married if you’re going to go through so much trouble trying to keep yourselves separate?
Honestly, I took my husband’s last name because I hated my maiden name. My initials stayed the same, however.
Old news. Way old.
This site is not as good as it once was :(
And neither are you. But we still put up with you, don’t we?
wow, another old ass news post. At least now you admit that like most pf your stuff, this story is a week old.
I thought Seal’s last name was Sucks?
I’ve heard he’s taught her to balance balls on her nose!!!!!
um maybe its because she just became a US citizen recently as well?
those germans still cant wait to get the fuck out!!!
how GD long until there is a new post?
This is really old news. They filed the paperwork for this in the beginning of october…
I saw on Oprah or Tyra where Heidi said when she met Seal she was really impressed with his endowment. And I don’t mean money.
