She also has an additional two films in post-production, a video game inspired flick Warcraft and The Perfect Match, starring Terrence Jenkins who portrays a playboy trying to change his ways.

That same month, Paula dished about what motivated her to keep going in the midst of her traumatic heartbreak.

'The thing is, you can't wallow in sadness or stay in bed when you have a child,' she said on Good Morning America.

'Usually the positive in your life outweighs [anything else],' she added. 'And you have to just be thankful for what you have right now.'

Robin, 38, famously tried his best to win back his ex by dedicating songs to her during his shows at the beginning of the year but has since moved on with 20-year-old April Love Geary.
