Heidi and Martin, who got together shortly after she filed for divorce from her husband Seal, went their separate ways in January after a year and a half together. "They are no longer working together," said a source close to the German-born model. "Life is about timing. He was incredibly supportive and they were there for each other, but they're moving on now. They still have a great friendship.""Martin was there for her during a challenging time in her life and it was something she will also be grateful for," added another friend.
