Seal Shoved Heidi Klum in Final Fight

"We will be connected for the rest of our lives... through this tremendous admiration, respoect and love that we have for each other," Seal said of his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, on the Jan. 24 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. But the Project Runway host may not share that sentiment — as Star can exclusively reveal that Seal pushed her in a blowout fight just before their split!

According to a family insider, the couple, who wed in May 2005, got into a full-blown screaming match at their L.A. home in mid-January. "Heidi told friends that Seal just lost it," the insider tells Star. "He was screaming — and, she said, he pushed her. It was horrible."

The encounter escalated to the point that Heidi's security guard had to intervene, a source tells Star. "He had to physically restrain Seal," the source says.
