Ummm. Did You Know Seal Has a Last Name? And Now It’s Heidi’s Last Name, Too?

Heidi Klum and Seal

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.

      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!!!

      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?

      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.

    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.
