"It was hard. When Marc and I decided to separate, I thought, 'I'm not going to let this turn me into someone who doesn't believe in love anymore'.

I didn't want to just survive it, I wanted to grow from it," she said. The 43-year-old star feels women need to realise they can love themselves before anybody else and should hold themselves in a much higher regard.

"I did learn a lot. Most importantly, to love myself first. As women, I don't think we do that enough. We always love somebody else more than ourselves. I did that for a long time and I couldn't understand why things weren't working. Then I realised I wasn't valuing myself in the way I deserved."u00a0
