The 38-year-old actress split wit NFL star Aaron Rodgers in April last year after his younger brother's appearance on 'The Bachelorette' brought to light tensions in the Rodgers family, and has said that following on from the break up a year and a half ago, she's started to focus on keeping things positive.

Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', she said: "It's a lesson I think you're always learning, but I think this year I really applied it, over the last year and a half, of just like, negative, toxic people just don't have a place in your life.

"So, if you're around someone that's always making you feel bad, you know, you don't need them in your life.

"Anything that's toxic, whether it's a person or a situation, anything that's going to add any kind of negativity to your life in a long-term way, just should be out of life. Whether it's a person, an experience or a job."

'The Predator' actress spoke about her split from Aaron for the first time earlier this year, when she claimed his family was "a little broken", and said she'd asked him to try and mend things with his loved ones, but to no avail.

She said at the time: "That family was a little broken. Before he and I started dating, he hadn't spoken to the parents and one brother in eight months ... I just think it's really important to mend things in a family, and I encouraged that.

"At the end of the day, there's a lot of complication. I don't think either side is clean."

Meanwhile, Aaron previously admitted his high-profile split from Olivia was "difficult".

He explained: "When you are living out a relationship in the public eye, it's definitely ... it's difficult. It has some extra constraints because you have other opinions abut your relationship, how it affects your work and, you know, just some inappropriate connections."
