For the high school sweethearts who had been in each other’s lives for 20 years, it was going to be a drastic change in their lives and for the first time since the divorce was finalized a few weeks ago, Paula Patton is talking about life after Robin Thicke.

The 39-year-old actress recently made an appearance on The Meredith Vieira Show and said:

“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 just getting used to change. I live in a place of gratitude and growing up in many ways I think, I moved from my parents’ house to moving in with Robin, and now I’m like becoming an adult at this old age. I’m really like a real woman now.”
