Paula Patton credited her Lifetime film 'Finding Faith' for helping her find self-forgiveness.

The actress stressed the importance of avoiding choices made out of loneliness. "I think we get caught up in fear, or worried about being alone, and then you make choices that are not great choices, instead of just trusting it's all gonna work out and then you don't have to chase anything."

Patton's last public relationship was with singer Robin Thicke, from whom she filed for divorce in 2014, with the divorce finalized in March 2015. The former couple met at an 18-and-under club in Los Angeles when she was just 15 years old. They have a 15-year-old son, Julian Fuego. Thicke is also a father to three children with wife April Love Geary.
After her divorce from Thicke, Patton was in a relationship with real estate agent Zach Quittman in 2018. In early 2024, she debuted a new relationship with former professional tennis player Prakash Amritraj.
Paula Patton was married to Robin Thicke.
While discussing her career, Patton delved into how her latest Lifetime film, Finding Faith, contributed to her sobriety journey.
Although she has been sober for seven years, connecting with her character's struggles was daunting. "It was scary," she admitted. "But what was kind of incredible was that I was able to forgive myself for the first time, genuinely."
She added, "Even as I'd been through this healing journey, I'd still be like, 'God, how did you do that? Why didn't you do this? You should have done it like that.' Somehow, playing Faith and going through it, I realized I did the best I could at that time. I didn't have the tools."
Paula Patton shared how her sobriety journey deepened through her role in 'Finding Faith.'
Finding Faith follows the title character's downward spiral after the sudden death of her husband and her eventual journey toward healing, supported by her family and friends.
Finding Faith premiered Saturday, August 9, at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
