Seal Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, otherwise know as Seal, once revealed that as a kid when he was growing up in inner London, his dad used to kick him and that his dad was a violent man.
Not surprising then that singer Seal, when seen with his kids -- Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel and stepdaughter Helene 'Leni' Klum -- seems the gentlest of dads. Supermodel Heidi has gone on record to say that Seal is the only father of Leni, her first child from another relationship.
And Heidi feels that Seal is a great father. She told US Weekly: Seal is a
wonderful dad. He knows how to have fun and really enjoy our family time together. The kids love his music! They always dance up a storm when their papa's music comes on.
'Henry and Leni learned how to swim this summer, which is huge for a two and a three year old. They just had their first skiing lesson. We're so proud to see them ski: We're the parents at the bottom of the bunny hill with the video camera.
And Johan is talking now. His first word was 'roooaaww' -- he roars like a big lion. Then came 'mama' and 'papa.'
'Seal's favourite activity with the kids is playing horsey. He crawls on the floor, they all hop on his back and he goes on all fours around the whole house!'
