The 44-year-old singer married supermodel Heidi Klum in 2005 and have two sons together, Henry,2, and baby Johan, and also Heidi\'s daughter, Leni,3, from her relationship with Flavio Briatore. Seal\'s outlook on life is positive and refreshing: \'The world is still a fantastic and wondrous place to live. Yes, there are a lot of negative things in the world, but I don\'t think we can dwell on those. I believe in collective consciousness. I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us. Therefore, if we want to change the world and make it a better place, we need to reflect things in a positive way. To do that, you have to look at the good things that are happening\'
