Paula Patton Says After Split from Robin Thicke She Became ‘a Real Woman’

Ida Astute/ABC(NEW YORK) — Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are not yet officially divorced, but the actress says she’s already a changed woman since splitting from the “Blurred Lines” singer last year.

“I live in a place of gratitude and [I’m] growing up in many ways, I think. I moved from my parents’ house to moving in with Robin,” she says on Tuesday’s episode of The Meredith Vieira Show, according to a preview clip obtained by E! News. “And now I’m like becoming an adult at this old age. I’m really like a real woman now.”

The former high-school sweethearts wed in June 2005 and split in February 2014 after rumors of Thicke’s infidelity.

“You know I’m doing really well. It’s been a long year and a lot of challenges but I’ve grown quite a bit and [I’m] just getting used to change,” she explains, adding that she tries to “embrace it and just be thankful for everything I do have.”

Their divorce will be finalized on April 14. The two will share custody of their 4-year-old son Julian.
