Heidi Klum and Seal: Final Goodbye Part. 1

(Aspen, CO) It's a blindly bright day on the slopes of Buttermilk mountain.  It's lunch time, around noon.  Supermodel Heidi and Seal show up with their 4 kids for a day of fun in the snow.  Seal takes the older kids, Leni, 7, Henry, 6  and Johan, 5 to register for their skiing classes while Heidi stays behind with their youngest daughter Lou and a nanny.

The thrilled paparazzi are shocked to see the couple at the famous slope since rumors of them being in town had surfaced for days, but there had be no site of them in the small town.

Immediately something is very different than the previous years Heidi Klum and Seal have brought their clan to skiing lessons at Buttermilk mountain.  Heidi's parents, who are always present while the family takes their annual vacation in Aspen, are nowhere to be seen.  Instead, a bodyguard and a nanny surfaced in their presence.

Heidi Klum takes her youngest daughter, Lou, 2, for a sled ride while her elder siblings get ready to be taken up to the mountain to the designated area for classes.

Heidi Klum chats with her new bodyguard and seems to be at real ease with him.  She can't stop smiling during their walk up the snowy mountain.  Heidi and her bodyguard arrive to the top, but soon come down, Heidi running down the hill to get the sled going for Lou.

Heidi Klum meets back up with Seal and the rest of her kids.  She proceeds to help Seal get the kids ready for their class, even applying lip balm to each one to protect their lips from the frigid weather.

Seal soon hops on a massive snowmobile that takes Leni, Henry, and Johan up to the bunny slope.  Heidi watches on as her clan drives off, she then meets up with her bodyguard and nanny to walk up the slope and meet back up with the rest of her family.

The kids begin to take their classes, and although Heidi and Seal are together, they seem to be miles apart.  Heidi chomps on some nuts while Seal sits on the cold snow with his legs crossed sitting a small distance from Heidi.

At one point, Heidi Klum holds on to Seal while she sits behind him, almost as if she knows that this is the last time they will be together as a couple.  Her smile hides her sadness well, but it's through Seal that you can see the most raw emotion.

He is the most subdued he has ever been in Aspen, even smiling for the paparazzi even though in the past he had wished that one of them broke their neck while taking his picture.  He seems to be holding on tightly to Heidi, holding on to the fleeting romance he once had with her.

On this fateful day it seems the duo are just being great parents by taking separate sides of the bunny slope so that they can have the best view of the kids taking their classes.  It isn't apparent yet that the two are headed for splitsville.

During this last family trip together, both Heidi and Seal are extremely thoughtful of their kids- smiling and helping them, making sure they know everything is alright.
