The 40-year-old actress - who split from Robin Thicke last year after ten years of marriage - admits she is learning to love again after being hurt "more than a couple of times".

She said: "You need to know that it's worth it. At the end of the day, having a partner in crime for life is so amazing and special when it's real and genuine, that it's worth taking the risk.

"And you are going to get hurt, trust me, I know! I've been hurt a couple times - maybe more than a couple times. But you gotta pick yourself back up, and give it another chance. I know I'm going to!"

And Paula insists she is not overly fussy when it comes to who she'll date next but there is one thing she won't stand for - a man who pouts.

Speaking in a video posted to her Facebook page, she added: "If you pout you're out. I'm not dealing with a pouty man ... I'm not doing that anymore."

Meanwhile, the '2 Guns' actress previously revealed her divorce has made her feel like a "real woman".

She shared: "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."
