The actress hasn't been photographed in
public since April, and her estranged husband hasn't spent any time with her,
either. "I haven't seen her for four months," Robin Thicke
revealed during a Hot 97 radio interview Tuesday. "We're cool. She's the
best girl in the world, a great mother and still a good friend, but because we
just weren't ever together anymore and I still had so much I wanted to
apologize for and things I wanted to take responsibility for, so that's pretty
much what the album's about. But I also want to wish her well and let her know
that she's a great person and she deserves to have a good life."
Paula is a testament to that notion.
"The album is exactly what happens when you lose the love of your life and
you're trying to figure it out in your head to move on and get through it
all," the musician said.
The lyrics are heartfelt. "Sometimes
it's about her and sometimes I'm talking directly to her," he said.
If Thicke had his way, he'd reunite with
his high school sweetheart ASAP. "If you've been together that long, you
kind of became adults together instead of being adults and then meeting,"
he said. If he and Patton take the time to grow as individuals, the
singer-songwriter thinks reconciling is possible: "Maybe a year or two
off, we'll become our own people without each other and then it will be meant
to be."
Celebrating the massive success of
"Blurred Lines" was initially exciting, but in hindsight, Thicke
admitted he had "a little too much" fun. In regard to his marital
separation, he explained, "We had an amazing time together, but I just
think right now, this is what's best for our child and for ourselves."
What went wrong in their relationship?
"I changed, and I got a little too selfish, a little too greedy and little
too full of myself," Thicke explained. The 37-year-old "Give It 2
U" singer also admitted, "At this point in our relationship, the only
reason we're not together is because of the choices I made...We're apart
because we just couldn't be together anymore for awhile. There's a hundred
different reasons."
Thicke, who is no longer wearing his
wedding ring, took responsibility for mistakes he made during their marriage.
"I'm a man. I messed up and I had to lie for a while, and then I stopped
lying," he said. "That was actually good for me because I was tired
of lying. This whole album is me revealing everything."
Patton, 38, hasn't listened the album in
its entirety, he revealed. "I don't think she wants to hear it right
now," he said. "I can't speak for her, but I think space is an
important part of any healing process."
It's been a sobering few months for
Thicke. "When you lose your family, that'll slow you down," he said.
With his marriage in a state of flux,
he's focusing on his career for now. "My music is my therapy. When I make
these songs and I listen back to them, they make me feel good about myself
because at least I'm admitting my faults," the star said. "I'm trying
to become a better man and better person, better father."
While Thicke hasn't seen his estranged wife
in recent months, he has spent time with her family.
"All of our families are still very
much in love," he said. "I invite her mom over for dinner and we have
dinners together. She'll take the kid to visit my uncle and aunt. But right
now, we just don't hang out."
