Seal tends to keep a low profile on social media and doesn't share photos of his children online, but recently made headlines after being spotted at the US Opens in New York with oldest daughter Leni, 18.

The pair have a very strong bond, and Seal met Heidi when she was just two weeks pregnant with Leni. He went on to officially adopt Leni, whose biological father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.
