Actress Paula Patton has embraced her single life post her split from husband Robin Thicke.
Patton and Thicke, high school sweethearts, separated fourteen months ago.
"I went from my parents' house to moving in with Robin, and now I'm becoming an adult. I'm really, like, a real woman now!" Patton, who married the singer in 2005, told Vieira in a Meredith Vieira Show interview.
The 39-year-old is now coparenting their son Julian, 4, but admits that she struggles with working mother's guilt.
"I've grown a lot. It's been a long year and a lot of challenges. I live in a place of gratitude [and am] thankful for everything I have."
"I took a lot of time off to be with him and then I had to pack for a trip because I had to go to work and he said, 'Mommy I don't want you to go to work,'" she said.
"It's the challenge of being a working mother and it's the first time he ever said that to me because I did work when he was a baby but now he is more aware of everything, so what are you going to do? It's sort of the trials and tribulations of being a woman."
The actress said she called her mother and cried after that.
