Heidi Klum has been undergoing treatments to get the name of her ex-husband, Seal, off of her forearm. She got the tattoo back in 2008.

Klum was married to Seal to for seven years, from 2005 to 2012. They have three biological children together; Henry, 6½, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2. Klum also has daughter Leni, 7½, from a previous relationship. She’s been dating former bodyguard Martin Kristen since September of last year.

E! Online reports that the America’s Got Talent judge has been undergoing treatments to get the tattoo removed and has been sporting a lighter version of the tattoo recently. Next to his name is four stars, which represent her kids – she’s keeping that part.

According to ABC News Klum, 39, told Katie Couric last fall of her boyfriend “I trust him with my children’s life. He’s a great man and recently we just got to know each other from a completely different side.”

Kristen was Klum’s bodyguard for four years before they got together, and Seal wasn’t pleased with the two getting together after his separation from the model. He said at the time he wished she wouldn’t “fornicate with the help .”
