In a 2015 interview with Andy Cohen, Seal admitted that he wasn’t actually a fan of the renewals and that it was all Heidi’s idea. “It kind of turned into a little bit of a circus, which I wasn’t terribly fond of because, by default, I’m quite a private person…I don’t know how necessary [renewing our vows] was, but it was cool,” he said.

During a speech at Harvard University that year, he said: “It’s nice to say your vows in front of your family. That’s the point of taking the vows. These are people who will hold you to them.
