In June, Hathaway ended her relationship with Raffaello Follieri, who is currently under investigation for fraud. She now reveals that the experience has made her stronger.
The 25-year-old actress told Britain’s The Independent, "The worst thing that happens to you can be the best thing for you, if you don’t let it get the best of you."
The split hasn’t ruined plans for Hathaway to marry one day. She added, "I’ve always wanted a family. I’m not one of those people who says, ‘What’s the point of marriage?’"
The Princess Diaries star hopes to find a man with whom she can be herself. "My parents have been married more than 25 years, with all the glory and all the pain you can imagine, but they’ve stayed together. I want a strong marriage like that."
