Los Angeles: Model Heidi Klum has rubbished ex-husband Seal`s claim that she was having an affair with her bodygaurd and that it led to their marriage falling apart.
Klum, 39, has told her close friends that all the while she was in a relationship with the singer her relationship with the bodyguard Martin Kristen was very formal, reports tmz.com.
According to the model, Kristen helped her get over the difficulties of ending a marriage and grew as good afterwards.
"It`s sad but not surprising that he would resort to making excuses for their divorce when the real reason is looking him in the mirror," a source said.
Klum was recently spotted in Italy getting close to the bodyguard while she was on a vacation with family.
Klum and Seal tied the knot in 2005, but called it quits after almost seven years of marriage.
