The 'Cake' star - who recently tied the knot with "best friend" Justin Theroux - feels more self-assured than she has in the past.

She said: "When it comes to relationships, I'm a late bloomer. But I've learnt from my mistakes, am comfortable in my own skin and have more confidence that ever. In Justin, I have met my best friend - that's the icing on the cake!

"He is kind, honest, and generous and has empathy for other people ... I think that's amazing! The fact that he also has a dry sense of humour is a big plus."

And the 46-year-old beauty - who got engaged to the 'Leftovers' star three years ago - says the pair took their time before getting hitched because they didn't need to have the "piece of paper".

She told German magazine TV Direkt: "We weren't in a rush. It's not like we felt any less close to one another just because we didn't have a piece of paper to prove we were together."

Meanwhile, Justin, 44, previously admitted he is finding married life "different".

He shared: "It does feel different. I'm very happy. It's nice to be able to look down and see a new piece of jewellery on my finger."
