Heidi Klum and her boyfriend of three years Vito Schnabel have split.
The 44-year-old German model confirmed the news to People on Monday after DailyMail.com reported in mid September that the two are ‘taking time apart.’
The America’s Got Talent host, who has four children with singer Seal, said: ‘I believe that it is important to take time to pause and reflect.’
Heidi and Vito have not been photographed together since August 20. And when Klum has hit red-carpet events this month, she has done so solo.

The mother-of-four arrived in Manhattan on September 7 and headed to a hotel, rather than staying with her long-term love at his property in the city.
And when the America’s Got Talent judge attended the Harper’s Bazaar Icons event in NYC over the weekend, she was not with Vito, who is the son of artist Julian Schnabel.
‘Heidi’s been spending lots of time partying with her friends,’ the source told DailyMail.com.
‘She was also seen with Lewis Hamilton at the the Harper’s Bazaar event. Friends are wondering if this could possibly be the end?’

Heidi and Vito were last seen holding hands in NYC on August 21.
In June eyebrows were raised when he was pictured kissing a mystery brunette.
Vito was spotted in an embrace with the woman in the early hours of in London. This comes while Klum was in New York filming new episodes of America’s Next Top Model.
Schnabel sent a statement to People: ‘The claims that have been made are a misinterpretation of an entirely innocent situation.
‘There is nothing more to this than I was simply saying goodnight to a family friend and we went on our separate ways.’
Vito was spotted leaving popular eatery Chiltern Firehouse with the unknown female, around 3:30 am.
The brunette appeared enamored with Vito, and the couple reportedly kissed for around 30 seconds before jumping into a black cab and continuing their passionate display.
According to reports, Vito then left the taxi and entered his hotel alone, while she continued to another address.
Though they have been together for three years, Heidi previously told Entertainment Tonight in 2015, ‘I won’t get married again’, adding that she is ‘very much in love.’
