Robin Thicke says cheating rumors had nothing to do with his split from his wife. However, he admitted he became greedy and selfish.
He has been trying to get back together with his childhood sweetheart Paula Patton, apologizing to her publicly while on stage.
He told New York’s Hot 97 radio station, “It’s not that simple… it was right (but) sometimes people grow apart. You don’t build love in a day and you don’t lose it in a day.”
“We’re apart because we just couldn’t be together any more, for a while. There’s a 100 different reasons, there isn’t just one. There’s a long list… I changed, and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy, a little too full of myself.”
“Maybe a year or two off, we’ll become our own people without each other and it’ll be more stable,” he added.
“She hasn’t heard [the album, called Paula]. She’s only heard a few songs and I don’t think she wants to hear it right now. I can’t speak for her, but I think space is an important part of any healing process.”
He added, “She’s the best girl in the world, a great mother, and still a good friend. I want to wish her well and let her know that she’s a great person and she deserves to have a good life…”
“She was my rock… Everything we have right now, we built together. I’m a man. I messed up and had to lie for a while. Then I stopped lying.”
