Celebrities filing for divorce in Southern California are a dime a dozen. After all, Southern California is home to Hollywood and marriages so short you count them in days, not months. Another Hollywood power couple filed for divorce this week as supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal have announced that they will be ending their 6 year marriage.

The couple is saying all the right things, and every indication is that they pair will have an amicable divorce. The two A-listers have 3 children together, plus a fourth child belonging to Klum from a previous relationship. It seems likely that they pair will manage to come to some sort of child custody arrangement without the need for the courts to intervene.

In another high profile divorce, Laker’s superstar Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa are in the midst of a divorce. It was reported over the weekend that Vanessa will get all three of the couple’s Huntington Beach mansions in the divorce. Vanessa Bryant is also expected to get nearly $75 million in the divorce settlement as the couple didn’t have a prenuptial agreement, and California is a no fault state, so all marital assets are divided 50/50.

Also, because Kobe Bryant was the sole bread winner in the family, it is likely that Vanessa will be entitled to significant spousal support as well.

The Bryant’s were high school sweethearts, and Vanessa stuck by Kobe through a sexual assault scandal involving the basketball all-star back in 2003. The couple had been married just over 2 years at that point. Vanessa Bryan cited “irreconcilable differences” in the divorce papers she filed.
