The 'Kiss From a Rose' hitmaker talks about co-parenting his children with former wife following their bitter split, claiming they struggle with it because they don't have teamwork.

AceShowbiz - Seal has insisted he and Heidi Klum have "never had teamwork" when it comes to co-parenting.
The 58-year-old singer has four children - Leni, 17, Henry, 15, Johan, 14, and Lou, 11 - with his ex-wife Heidi, and has said that while co-parenting can work wonders when the parents are on the same page, he claims he and Heidi have never been able to work together.
"It can be challenging," he told Us Weekly magazine. "It requires teamwork. If you are a team, if both parents are a team, then it's really easy and that's not a real challenge at all. … But you have to be a team. And if you're not a team, then it can all fall to pieces."
And when asked if he had that bond with Heidi, 47, he added, "No. I never had that teamwork (with Heidi). We never had teamwork."
Seal and Heidi split in 2012 and finalised their divorce in 2014.
The pair were at loggerheads last year (20) when Heidi - who is now married to musician Tom Kaulitz - claimed Seal was refusing to let her take their children to Germany with her after she travelled there to film "Germany's Next Top Model".
Heidi filed for an emergency court hearing to seek permission to take all four of their children with her, and Seal initially hit back amid fears of his children being exposed to COVID-19.
The former couple eventually reached a custody agreement for Heidi to travel with the children, but Seal was given "expanded time" with them before and after they went away.
