The Star Isn't Interested in Getting Married Again
The actress confessed in a recent interview that she's not 'cut out to be in a relationship.'
"In the last 25 years, I recognized that not everybody’s cut out to be in a relationship. Some people are just cut out to be one-night stands," she explained to Interview. "I don’t want to live with anybody. I lived with my daughter. That’s all I can handle. I have lots of people that I love, but I don’t need them living with me. I don’t need to be sleeping with them."
