Seal spotted without wedding ring

Los Angeles: Less than a month after declaring that he has no intentions of taking off his wedding ring despite splitting from wife Heidi Klum, singer Seal has been spotted without the band.

The 48-year-old singer seems to have finally accepted his separation from the supermodel as he arrived in Australia without the gold band, reported TMZ online. Just weeks earlier, the `Let`s Stay Together` singer told Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her show that he was not ready to remove the ring. "Right now it feels really comfortable on my hand, so I have no intentions of taking it off anytime soon," said the four time Grammy winner. He also said that he kept wearing the ring as "a token of how I feel" about Klum. "We have eight years. Eight wonderful years together. Just because we have decided to separate doesn`t necessarily mean you take off your ring and you`re no longer connected to that person," he added. Seal and Klum announced their separation in the wee hours of January 23. In a joint statement about the split, they said, "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." PTI
